For a Dubai-style integrated entertainment park, the best locations in India are major tourism and airport hubs with large catchment populations and good road/metro access. ��
Top metro-region candidates
Delhi–NCR (Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Manesar, Sonipat belt)Huge population, high incomes, strong corporate traffic, and fast-growing airports at Delhi and Hindon. ��
Already proven demand for parks like Worlds of Wonder, Adventure Island, Mojoland, KidZania, which reduces risk and helps with benchmarking. ���
Mumbai–Pune corridor (Lonavala, Panvel, Navi Mumbai region)Dense, affluent catchment plus tourism to Lonavala–Khandala; good for a destination park with hotels. ��
Existing large-scale project Imagicaa near Lonavala shows viability of a Dubai-style, IP-based park model in this belt. ��
Bengaluru–Mysuru belt Strong tech-driven middle class, high propensity for leisure spending, and year-round pleasant climate. ��
Wonderla Bengaluru and GRS Fantasy Park near Mysuru already attract heavy footfall, indicating scope for a larger integrated resort. ��
High-potential tourism hubs. Hyderabad (towards airport or ORR)International airport hub and film-tourism anchor through Ramoji Film City, which already draws over a million visitors annually. ��
Space to expand with film/IP-based, Dubai-style mixed entertainment (parks + studio tours + hotels). �
Jaipur and the Golden Triangle (Jaipur–Agra–Delhi) Established international tourism route; Jaipur airport–metro integration will sharply improve connectivity and visitor movement. �
A themed destination park tied to Rajasthan heritage or royal experiences can leverage existing tourist flows. ��
Goa coastal belt High leisure tourist density, charter flights, and a state government open to leasing unused industrial land for theme parks to boost jobs. �
Ideal for water-park + nightlife + resort concept rather than pure rides-only model. �
Emerging and regional optionsKolkata region (including Aquatica/Nicco Park zone) Existing major parks (Nicco Park, Aquatica) get strong daily traffic, indicating appetite for a larger, upgraded park cluster. ��
Can position as East India’s flagship integrated entertainment node.
�Tier-2 hubs with improving air/rail (e.g., Ahmedabad–Vadodara, Lucknow, Kochi)Rising domestic tourism and strong regional catchment; airports and expressways are expanding rapidly under India’s aviation and UDAN vision. ��
Better suited initially for smaller Dubai-style components (indoor snow park, themed mall-based park, water park) that can later scale. ��
