Walt Disney Parks and Resorts announced today the appointment of Samuel Lau as Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL).
劉永基多年來在迪士尼公司及其他公營機構累積豐富的管理經驗，尤其在大型基建規劃，以及結合企業優勢以促進業務增長。作爲行政總裁，他會負責管理樂園度假區的日常運作，為來自世界各地的賓客締造奇妙難忘的回憶及推動業務發展。

Bill Ernest, President and Managing Director, Asia, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, said that HKDL has firmly cemented its position as the region’s premier vacation destination during its first decade of operation and he believes Lau will build on the strong foundation to further grow the resort.
樂園度假區將源源不絕地推出嶄新項目，包括今個夏季推出的《星球大戰》特備項目、2016年底開幕的「鐵甲奇俠飛行之旅」遊樂設施及2017年落成的迪士尼探索家度假酒店等，令位處大嶼山這翠綠環境之中的樂園度假區，能為賓客提供更不一樣的娛樂體驗。
The upcoming brand-new offerings, which include the Star Wars special program this summer, the launch of the Iron Man Experience attraction in late 2016 and Disney Explorers Lodge in 2017, will add to HKDL’s range of diverse offerings at its uniquely-styled site sitting against the lush beauty of Lantau.
安明智說：「我們為香港迪士尼樂園度假區的發展感到興奮。過去，劉永基在推動業務方面一直展現卓越的成績。透過未來多個具迪士尼強大品牌元素的新項目所帶來的機會，劉永基將可領導樂園度假區持續發展。」
“We are excited about the business developments at HKDL. With his proven track record in driving business excellence, Sam will provide leadership for the continuous development of the resort, leveraging the opportunities of the new offerings based on strong Disney franchises,” said Ernest.

安明智說：「我們感謝金民豪過去八年對樂園度假區的領導。」現時正慶祝十週年的樂園度假區，在過去數年大大豐富了其遊樂設施及娛樂體驗。
“We are grateful to Andrew for his leadership of HKDL over the past eight years,” Ernest said. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, HKDL has significantly enhanced its attractions and entertainment offerings in the last few years.
