Saudi Arabia Invests €6 Billion in Parisian Theme Parks

Saudi Arabia has partnered with France to build three theme parks near Paris, investing €6 billion in the project. The investment is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program, which aims to diversify the country's economy away from oil dependence.

The first park will be dedicated to the universe of manga and anime, specifically inspired by the popular franchise Dragon Ball Z. French President Emmanuel Macron described the project as 'on a scale not seen since Disneyland Paris.'

The project is expected to create around 22,000 direct jobs and is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to position itself as a regional and global hub for tourism, gaming, sports, and live entertainment.
