Sea World Orlando Expansion

SeaWorld is expanding its brand. With the recent news that SeaWorld Entertainment will be going public, business pundits have begun to speculate where the company will go next. Since park operations are not the most lucrative financial aspect for the company according to Bloomberg Businessweek, the new company will inevitably focus on merchandising and park concessions via new park openings. This positive trend has also lifted the demand for local vacation home rentals near SeaWorld.

SeaWorld Entertainment has 11 different parks and a grew 11% from 2010 to 2011 according to Bloomberg. To maintain this growth rate as a public company, it is highly likely that the company’s core park concepts will be rolled out in other markets. The ability to replicate this experience in multiple markets could be the key to being a successful growing public company.

This would be a realistic thing to do for many reasons. SeaWorld makes a strong effort at providing “authentic” environmental experiences and this seems to be what younger consumers desire. Through its unique high quality park concepts – Discovery Cove, Aquatica and SeaWorld – the company has been able to segment its entertainment offerings while providing compelling experiences. These are the types of high quality brand experiences that could be coming to a city near you in the future.
