Pro's of Legoland
1.Economic Benefits
Just weeks following the opening of Asia's first Legoland in Nusajaya, local taxi and restaurant operators are pretty excited over the prospects of higher incomes and revenue from the expected rise in tourist arrivals, which will ultimately boost Johor’s economy. Since it opened its doors Legoland, has attracted more than 10,000 visitors. Iskandar Malaysia has been mapped out by Khazanah Nasional Berhad to help transform Johor into a major economic hub. The opening of a new township at Iskandar Malaysia also meant that local and foreign tourists would not bypass Johor Baharu but spend more time and money in the state capital and its surrounding areas, thus boosting the local economy.
2.Annual Passes
The Legoland Annual Passes allow the member to visit the park again and again for a full 12 months. The Premium Annual Pass let the member to enjoy both Legoland themepark and the water park. The Annual Pass also available for those who like the theme park only. Both annual passes bring you extra privileges all year round. It also offers discounts on merchandise and dining.
3.Global Tourist Destination
Closely located to Singapore in the southern tip of Malaysia’s Iskandar region
in Nusajaya, Johor turns Legoland into an international tourist attraction. Being in
the southern part of Malaysia, Legoland can profit from tourists coming to Singapore or
to Kuala Lumpur especially in the future when the Senai Airport starts more direct
international flights. In terms of international tourists, Legoland targets international
tourists that already come to Malaysia or Singapore.
4.Monopoly
Being in a monopolistic competition with other entertainment venue companies, such as the Genting Group, Merlin Entertainments faces a set of unique challenges and opportunities. For example, there is not a large presence of large scale theme parks in Malaysia, but still there are enough that Merlin does not have massive control on the market. However, being in monopolistic competition, they have the power to make their own decisions without having much fear of heightened competition from other competitors. Partly, this is because there is high differentiation in the product, which is in this case, the theme park itself. Legoland Malaysia has its own theme that is different from other theme parks and thus can attract customers who have different preferences. It would seem that the Merlin Group sees building Legoland Malaysia in Johor as an opportunity, and feel that it is a good location for them to place their latest investment.
