Italy's n. 1 Amusement Park and GARDALAND HOTEL RESORT programs for leisure MICE and business travel

GARDALAND looks forward to welcoming all at WTM London 12^th - 15^th November 2007 stand EM380!
With over 3 million visitors per year, a turnover of 106 million Euro (2005) and 1700 employees, Gardaland boasts a wide range of attractions and shows representing not only one of the most well known entertainment and leisure trademarks in Southern Europe but also stands among the first three amusement parks in Europe by number of visitors and annual turnover.

As of October 2006, Gardaland is a proud member of Merlin Entertainments Group, which has recently become the 2nd family entertainment operator in the world - just behind Disney - thanks to a constant and dynamic group growth recorded in the last 5 years.

The Park's annual vibrant life is divided into various moments: Spring opening, daily between 9.00-18.00; the Summer season, with extended opening hours until midnight from mid-June to the beginning of September; October special with exceptional weekend openings in full Halloween spirit and lastly Gardaland's own Magic Winter weekends 8^th-9^th and 15^th-16^th December 2007 only to continue uninterrupted from 22nd December to 6th January 2007 (Christmas and New Year's day excluded) from 10.00 to 18.30.

The Park - completely decorated with lights, colours and wonderful Christmas trees - turns into a perfect winter landscape covered in snow attracting young and old bringing everyone the magical spirit of Father Christmas/Santa Claus made of extraordinary shows, Christmas fair stalls, fun-filled entertainment brought by funny little elves, sweet fairies, musical notes from bag pipe players and ancient instruments and wonderful rides on horse-driven sleighs through the park. Restaurants, kiosks and all remain open to welcome and delight every guest in a magical Christmas atmosphere.

Winter sport-lovers and high-speed fans can enjoy an incredible slope of artificial snow on board crazy rubber rings along with a large ice skating rink where guests can feel like our marvellous Russian skating-school champions who demonstrate their unique skills at the Palaghiaccio "Magic Winter On Ice" show with spectacular stunts, figure skating and exciting music in an incredible one and only breath-taking experience.

Guests will be drawn into a musical Christmas atmosphere at the Gardaland Theatre where the fascinating

"Christmas Celebration" show takes place through a medley of most famous songs from musicals and American blockbusters. Another hit is our Winter Shadow Show, an unforgettable visionary experience. Sunset is time for the WINTER LIGHT PARADE, with beautiful chariots, along with Santa Claus' sleigh, happily and magically marching to famous Christmas Carols through the entire park guiding guests to the Valle dei Re area where Gardaland's Christmas tale brings to an end with one last wonder the MAGIC WINTER SHOW: a farewell show for all guests by Father Christmas along with Prezzemolo, our big friendly dragon and friends, with a grand pyrotechnical finale: The MAGIC PYRICS SHOW enlightening the sky above.

What better way and opportunity to spend an enchanted holiday with loved-ones or take advantage of the Gardaland Hotel Resort programs for MICE and Business Travel?
