Inviting Disney Co to Build a Disneyland Resort in Muzaffarabad

Disney got the ball rolling in Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo, with the establishment of magnificent parks and resorts.
There was all-round infrastructure growth with new and enlarged airports and wider highways bringing about a wholesome change to the cities’ landscape.
Inviting Disney Co to build a Disneyland resort in Muzaffarabad, Kashmir, will automatically trigger the construction of a modern, state-of-the-art international airport. The present airport is much too small, and its small runways make landing of jumbo aircrafts an impossible proposition.
Once Disneyland takes the initiative and announces plans for Muzaffarabad, other supporting tourist facilitators would follow, including hotel chains like Hilton, Sheraton, and Marriott.
The Disneyland resort could also help in building new super-highways in Muzaffarabad connecting the city’s expanded airport to neighboring areas to give an impetus to development. No one can deny that Anaheim City in California and John Wayne Airport in Orange County are major beneficiaries of Disneyland in Southern California.
Since he is making sincere strivings to promote tourism in Pakistan, Prime Minister Imran Khan and Lord Nazir of UK should join hands and convince Disneyland Co to build a Disney resort in Muzaffarabad. Lord Nazir originally belongs to Kashmir and with an international airport in Muzaffarabad he would be able to fly directly from London to his hometown should this proposal materialize.
During the construction of Disneyland, Silicon Valley companies could also establish branches of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. in Muzaffarabad, as was done in Ireland, to boost its economy and employment opportunities.
