Entertainment Property Appraisals
Theme Parks and Water Parks
Global Valuation has completed entertainment property appraisals and Going-Concern Valuations on famous Theme Parks and Water Parks Worldwide.
Theme Parks – An amusement park or theme park is a group of entertainment attractions, rides and other events in a location for the enjoyment of large numbers of people. Theme parks are more elaborate than simple city parks or playgrounds, usually providing attractions meant to cater specifically to certain age groups, as well as some that are aimed towards all ages. Theme parks, a specific type of amusement park, are usually much more intricately themed to a certain subject or group of subjects than normal amusement parks.
Water Parks – Amusement parks with water play features attract seasonal crowds looking to have fun while cooling off. Featuring lazy rivers, wave pools, water slides, kids play areas, and spraygrounds, water parks can be indoor or outdoor attractions.
Casinos & Online Gambling
This industry consists of gambling facilities that offer table wagering games and other gambling activities, such as slot machines and sports betting. These establishments often provide food and beverage services. The industry also includes floating casinos (i.e. gambling cruises and riverboat casinos). Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with resorts, hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships or other tourist attractions.
Online Gambling – With today’s technology gamblers are able to enjoy the games via the Internet. Online casinos operate the same way brick-and-mortar casinos do. The odds, the paybacks, the rules and regulations are the same. The only difference is that gamblers play their personal desires online rather than in a teaming environment. Online casinos are audited and regulated by gambling authorities. They are checked to ensure that fair gaming is observed. Online casinos conform to a strict set of guidelines that ensure the security and protection of online gamblers. A special consideration is in the safety measure that keeps Internet frauds and pranksters in check. Online casinos need to be sure that the account details of their clients are not getting through a third party source.
