Deqing Government & Discovery Global Enterprises Hold Global Launch of World's First Discovery Adventures Park

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the 2016 "Year of China-U.S. Tourism" – a declaration by both governments to encourage tourism between the two nations – a celebratory event was held in New York City's Times Square by the Deqing Government, in partnership with Discovery Global Enterprises the licensing arm of Discovery Communications, to announce the global launch of a unique international adventure travel destination: the Discovery Adventures Moganshan Park.

Located within one million square meters of the beautiful mountainous region of Moganshan in China's Zhejiang Province—less than a 2.5-hour drive from Shanghai—the low-carbon, eco-friendly park gives guests the chance to challenge their limits with authentic adventure experiences. The park is a destination that offers guests exhilarating outdoor experiences including zip lines, hiking routes, ropes courses and the largest climbing wall in China- all guided by trained professionals.

"There is a demand from consumers to expand the Discovery experience beyond the screen with immersive, interactive and engaging brand experiences," said Leigh Anne Brodsky, Executive Vice President of Discovery Global Enterprises, Discovery Communications. "We are thrilled with how Discovery Adventures Moganshan Park has turned into a destination that gives ordinary people the chance to challenge themselves for an experience unlike any other."

The world's first Discovery Adventures Park is a partnership between APAX Group and Discovery Global Enterprises. Located in Moganshan Area, Deqing, Zhejiang Province, China, it combines real geographic features and world-class outdoor facilities while meeting the highest international safety standards. The park attracts both corporations looking to host team building events and families wishing to experience the great outdoors in a safe and controlled environment.

Currently the largest tourist attraction in Moganshan, Discovery Adventures Moganshan Park supports the Chinese government's new initiative to encourage the country's tourism and sports industries. The opening of the park is a reflection of China's expanding economic interest in the development of urban and rural integration, and its desire to ignite the tourism industry in the Yangtze River Delta area of Deqing County through outdoor adventures.

"In recent years, Chinese government is committed to the development of travel and sports industry," said Mr. Terence Chu, Chairman of Discovery Adventures Moganshan Park.  "The opening of the park is a reflection of China's expanding economic interest in outdoor sports and eco-tourism."

Deputy Mayor of the People's Government of Deqing County Ms. Hong Yan Yan also commented: "2016 is the Year of China-U.S. Tourism. It motivated China to increase its tourism investments by 20% this year."

The opening event was attended by government officials, and other notable guests including Ms. Hong Yan Yan, Deputy Mayor of the People's Government of Deqing County; Ms. Leigh Anne Brodsky, Executive Vice President of Discovery Global Enterprises, Discovery Communications; Mr. Terence Chu, Chairman of Discovery Adventures Moganshan Park; and Mr. Robert Marick, Senior Vice President of Licensing & Global Location Based Entertainment, Discovery Communications.
