Euro Disney S.C.A. is the company that owns and operates Disneyland Resort Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France. 39.78% of shares are held by The Walt Disney Company, 10% by the Saudi Prince Alwaleed and 50.22% by other shareholders. The stock is traded on the Euronext Paris exchange.
Disneyland Resort Paris is comprised of Disneyland Park (Paris), Walt Disney Studios Park, the Disney Village shopping district, and seven on-site Disney Hotels. Val d'Europe is a new residential and shopping development. Another seven hotels/residences have been built not far from the two Disney theme parks on land held under Euro Disney SCA's lease, including properties from companies such as Holiday Inn, Kyriad, MyTravel and Radisson.
The Resort is a result of an agreement signed on March 24, 1987 between The Walt Disney Company and the French Authorities for the development of a new tourist destination. In its 13-year history, the Resort has created more than 40,000 jobs (both directly and indirectly) in the region to the east of Paris.[citation needed] Today it is the number one tourist destination in Europe with 12.8 million visits recorded for Financial Year 2006.[citation needed]
