(ECNS) -- Women are more keen to visit theme parks than men while over 14 percent of tourists surveyed plan to visit Shanghai Disney Resort in one year, according to data from the Chinese tourism website LY.com.
The survey found 46.4 percent of respondents had visited theme parks in the past year. It also found that theme parks are among the top choices for three-day holiday makers and account for over 20 percent of travel routes.
The percentage of female tourists who visit theme parks was 8 points higher than males.
Tourists aged from 47 to 56 were more interested in visiting theme parks than any other age group. Over 34 percent of tourists born in the 1970s have visited the parks with their children. For those born in the 1980s, the rate was 18.7 percent.
Over 32 percent spent 300 yuan ($46) during their visits while 36 percent spent 200 yuan. And more than 80 percent of respondents wish the ticket price to be below 300 yuan.
In the next year, over 14 percent of tourists plan to visit Shanghai Disney Resort, which will open on June 16. The key reason for 52 percent is its "well-known reputation."
Among those who will avoid the park, Disney's first on the Chinese mainland, the main barrier for 43 percent was identified as "expensive tickets," matched by "too crowded" for nearly 43 percent.
The website LY.com said the report was based on 1,867 questionnaires from tourists who travelled through the help of online services in one year.
