From koreatimes.co.kr:
A Universal Studio theme park in Korea will be distinctive in that it will include attractions featuring Korean films, said the head of the famous theme park operator.
Thomas L. Williams, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts, expressed his hope to set up a Universal Studio theme park in Korea in an interview held during the 2007 Asia Pacific Tourism Investment Conference, Thursday.
He took part in the three-day event hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization in southern Seoul and delivered a keynote speech.
The U.S. company announced earlier this year that it plans to open a Universal Studio theme park here by 2012.
Regarding the distinctive characteristics of the park compared to the already established one in Osaka, Japan, which is very close to Korea, Williams cited the Korean film industry.
“The solution for how to make the Universal Studio Korea distinctive, unique and special is found very easily, which is to take advantage of the wonderful collection of Korean film products, to incorporate Korean culture and products along with products the Universal Studio has made for worldwide distribution,” Williams said.
