This is the company&#8217;s first major announcement since its acquisition by Hong Kong-based investment fund PAG in September 2022. At a press conference, representatives from Huis Ten Bosch and its marketing partner, Katana, outlined plans to invest tens of billions of yen in new ride-type attractions. The park, which is nearly twice the size of Tokyo Disneyland, aims to fully utilize its undeveloped areas to potentially attract up to 5 million visitors. Visitor numbers are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of September 2023, and new attractions are on track for completion by next spring. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/lnews\/nagasaki\/20230926\/5030019088.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_huis-ten-bosch-facebook_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1025&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"New Policy Targets Verbal Abuse of Fukuoka Officers\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1025\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_huis-ten-bosch-facebook_2023_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_huis-ten-bosch-facebook_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C220&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_huis-ten-bosch-facebook_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C750&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_huis-ten-bosch-facebook_2023_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C562&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=684399083725689&#038;set=pb.100064668102433.-2207520000&#038;type=3https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=684399083725689&#038;set=pb.100064668102433.-2207520000&#038;type=3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Huis Ten Bosch official facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
