MARNE-LA-VALEE, France – Disney’s theme park in Paris will bring on 1,000 additional employees as part of its latest expansion, company CEO Josh D’Amaro announced Friday during a joint appearance with French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>

The French leader joined D’Amaro at the European Disney resort to reveal details about the new themed areas being added to the park, which has served as a major tourist draw across Europe since opening its doors in 1992.<\/p>

“I believe we will continue to be the number one tourist destination. I believe that we will continue to add jobs. In fact, we’re adding 1,000 jobs, just for this new land that we have built,” D’Amaro stated during the announcement.<\/p>

The employment boost comes as D’Amaro settles into his leadership position, having officially taken over as Disney’s chief executive just weeks ago during a period of significant transformation for the entertainment giant.<\/p>

D’Amaro’s previous success managing Disney’s theme park operations – a division that generated 57% of the company’s $17.5 billion in profits last year – played a key role in his promotion to the top executive role.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
