Disneyland Paris announced Friday it will hire 1,000 workers for its newest expansion area. Disney's recently appointed CEO Josh D'Amaro made the announcement alongside French President Emmanuel Macron during a visit to the theme park.
MARNE-LA-VALEE, France – Disney’s theme park in Paris will bring on 1,000 additional employees as part of its latest expansion, company CEO Josh D’Amaro announced Friday during a joint appearance with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The French leader joined D’Amaro at the European Disney resort to reveal details about the new themed areas being added to the park, which has served as a major tourist draw across Europe since opening its doors in 1992.
“I believe we will continue to be the number one tourist destination. I believe that we will continue to add jobs. In fact, we’re adding 1,000 jobs, just for this new land that we have built,” D’Amaro stated during the announcement.
The employment boost comes as D’Amaro settles into his leadership position, having officially taken over as Disney’s chief executive just weeks ago during a period of significant transformation for the entertainment giant.
D’Amaro’s previous success managing Disney’s theme park operations – a division that generated 57% of the company’s $17.5 billion in profits last year – played a key role in his promotion to the top executive role.
