Bill Ernest has been named Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland to replace out-going Don Robinson.

The Economic Development & Labour Bureau said it has been working with Mr Ernest since the run-up to the opening of the theme park, and looked forward to liaising with him on its development.

The bureau said the park will develop into a premier attraction for family tourists in the region, and thanked Mr Robinson for his efforts, which have ensured its successful opening.
