In a report revealed this Tuesday, it is highlighted that Disney has generated a significant economic impact in the state of Florida, exceeding $40 billion and contributing to the creation of approximately 263,000 jobs.

The report, commissioned by Walt Disney World and prepared by the consulting firm Oxford Economics, highlights that this entertainment giant has left $3.1 billion in local and state coffers during fiscal year 2022.

With four theme parks, two water parks and more than 25 hotels, Disney established itself as an essential economic catalyst for Florida. Adam Sacks, president of Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, emphasized that Disney’s economic influence extends both directly and indirectly through its supply chain and employee spending.

The report reveals that Disney’s presence in Florida has resulted in more than a quarter of a million jobs, making the company a relevant player in the state’s labor market. One in 32 jobs is attributed to Disney, and in central Florida, home to the popular theme parks, one in 8 direct jobs is linked to Walt Disney World.

The impact goes further, given that for every job created within Disney facilities, an average of 1.7 jobs are generated throughout the state, collaborating with around 2,500 businesses in Florida.

Virtual reality generates, through computer technology, an environment of scenes and objects of real appearance where users have the sensation of being immersed in it. That was precisely the idea that inspired Juan Carlos Trejo and his partners to carry out an undertaking where virtual engineering is the norm. “We wanted to found a more accessible space, giving way to immersive museums and augmented reality parks in Caracas.”

This is how Virtus arises, a disruptive place for the joy of the people of the world. Children from the age of three to grandparents can live an unlimited experience in the Los Galpones facilities, “whose spaces highlight the power of imagination, nature and culture.”

This theme park gives you the opportunity to be immersed in other places “beyond imagination”. In Virtus everything is possible. “We have a video game room to choose from an almost infinite diversity of topics such as Fortnite or PacMan, a creative area where three-dimensional drawings are made and also a theme park in the best style of Jurassic Park where dinosaurs can be fed and chased”, explained Trejo, director and partner of Virtus.

Art and culture in 3D

For her part, Astrid Kohn, another of Virtus‘ partners, explained that spaces can also delight in special moments that will complete the technological experience: “One of our most beautiful things is innovation. “You don’t have to go to New York, Tokyo or Las Vegas, virtual reality is the order of the day at Virtus,” she said.

The main objective of Virtus is entertainment, but they plan to develop a series of cultural and educational plans that allow complementing pedagogical and didactic content. “We offer cutting edge technology; immediate communication spaces, high-definition projections, high-profile sounds” and can be adapted or customized according to the needs of the users”, Trejo pointed out.

They are interested in providing a more comprehensive experience, which is why they will open a “memorabilia store” very soon, where they will be able to obtain elements or allegorical pieces to the park, virtual reality helmets or games “. Kohn indicated they will also have a lounge type restaurant to enjoy exquisite menus.

From Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., visitors can attend to be part of this other reality. Tickets can be purchased by entering www.virtusnext.com or directly at Los Galpones.
