Abstract: Abstract With the growing importance of tourism worldwide, it has become a significant economic contributor in many countries. Hong Kong is no exception to this phenomenon with tourism as one of the leading foreign exchange earners, which brought in an estimated HK$77.4 billion with 16.6 million tourist arrivals in 2003 (Hong Kong Tourist Board, 2004). Development of tourism inevitably impacts upon the community's economic, natural and socio-cultural environment. These impacts can be positive, neutral or negative depending upon whether appropriate and responsible planning and management of resources are carried out to minimize any adverse impacts (Ap and Mak 1999). In this dissertation, Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the major attractions of Hong Kong tourism industry, will be evaluated in several aspects in terms of sustainable development. The research aims to find out to what extent the Disney theme park achieves in terms of sustainable development as well as its impact on the sustainable development of Hong Kong's tourism industry. i DOI: 10.5353/th_b3660186 Subjects: Tourism - China - Hong Kong Sustainable development - China - Hong Kong
