Disney made a smart choice’
Despite the comparisons, Abu Dhabi isn’t positioning itself as a direct rival to Orlando — it’s aiming to be something more. The emirate sees its theme parks as part of a bigger portfolio of attractions, alongside cultural landmarks, luxury hotels, pristine beaches, and desert adventures.

A 15-minute drive from Yas Island, Saadiyat Island is home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a franchised outpost of the famous Paris art museum, which welcomed 1.4 million visitors last year, 84% from abroad. The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum are both under construction, adding to a cultural district that will be one of the region’s most concentrated hubs of art and heritage.

“Abu Dhabi’s unique appeal lies in the diversity of our tourism offering,” Al Geziry added. “For thrill-seekers, we have record-breaking roller coasters and dune bashing in the desert. For culture lovers, historic sites like Al Ain Oasis and institutions like the Saadiyat museums. And for luxury travelers, world-class dining, private island resorts, and high-end shopping.

Still, not everyone is convinced that Disney’s expansion into the Middle East is a sure bet.

“The region has seen its share of false starts,” says Dennis Speigel, founder of the International Theme Park Services consultancy, comparing it to neighboring Dubai’s patchy record with theme park expansion ambitions in the mid-2010s. “Several of them struggled for profitability in their first decade.”

Spiegel believes Abu Dhabi is different. “Disney made a smart choice. The infrastructure, safety, and existing leisure developments create an ideal entry point,” he told CNN earlier this year. “It’s a much more controlled and calculated move.”

Under its Tourism Strategy 2030, Abu Dhabi aims to grow annual visitors from 24 million in 2023 to more than 39 million by the end of the decade. With Disneyland as a centerpiece, those targets may well be surpassed. The city’s population has already grown from 2.7 million in 2014 to more than 4.1 million today, a reflection of its rising profile as a regional hub.

Yas Island alone has been transformed in the space of a decade from a largely undeveloped stretch of sand to a self-contained resort destination, complete with golf courses, marinas, a mall, more than 160 restaurants, and a cluster of high-end hotels.

Orlando’s head start remains formidable — it still offers multiple Disney and Universal parks, has decades of brand loyalty, and an infrastructure built to handle tens of millions of tourists annually.

But Abu Dhabi is catching up fast. Its combination of frictionless travel, year-round comfort, cutting-edge attractions, and a cultural scene that adds depth to the experience gives Abu Dhabi its own unique selling point, potentially offering a model for the next generation of theme park capital.

Tourists fined and banned from Venice for swimming in canal
[url=https://tripscan44.cc]tripscan[/url]
A couple from the United Kingdom had to cut their vacation in Venice short after being caught swimming in the Grand Canal.

The 35-year-old British man and his 25-year-old Romanian girlfriend were forced to return to their home in the UK on Thursday, the same day they arrived in the city, after gondoliers reported them to local police for taking a dip in the canal.

The pair were fined €450 ($529) each and expelled from Venice for 48 hours, marking the 1,136th such sanction to be handed down to badly behaved tourists in the city so far this year, according to the Venice City Police.

The unnamed couple took the plunge near the Accademia bridge near St. Mark’s Square and gondoliers at the Rio San Vidal kiosk immediately called authorities, who removed them from the water.

“I thank the gondoliers for their cooperation and timely reporting,” said Venice Security Councillor Elisabetta Pesce in a statement published by city authorities on Friday.

“Venice must be defended from those who disrespect it: protecting the city means ensuring decorum for residents and visitors who experience it with civility.”

Swimming in the Venice canals is prohibited for a variety of reasons, including the intense boat traffic and the cleanliness — or lack thereof — of the water, according to the city’s tourism ministry.

Of the 1,136 orders of expulsion from the city so far this year, about 10 were for swimming.

Rising waters and overtourism are killing Venice. Now the fight is on to save its soul

“Since the beginning of the year, we have issued a total of 1,136 orders of expulsion for incidents of degradation and uncivilized behavior,” Venice local police deputy commander Gianni Franzoi said in a statement shared with CNN.

Poor visitor behavior is one of the worst byproducts of overtourism, Franzoi said, and incidents are on the rise.

In July 2024, an Australian man was fined and expelled for diving off the Rialto Bridge after his friends posted about it on social media.

The year before, two French tourists were fined and expelled for skinny dipping in the canal under the moonlight. In August 2022, a German man was fined and expelled for surfing in the canal.

Venice’s authorities have been trying to balance the need for visitor income with residents’ demands for a city that works for them.

Day trippers now pay a €10 entrance fee on summer weekends and during busy periods throughout the year.

The city has also banned tour groups of more than 25 people, loudspeakers and megaphones, and even standing on narrow streets to listen to tour guides.

“It was necessary to establish a system of penalties that would effectively deter potential violations,” Pesce said when the ordinance was passed in February.

“Our goal remains to combat all forms of irregularities related to overtourism in the historic lagoon city center,” she added.

“The new rules for groups accompanied by guides encourage a more sustainable form of tourism, while also ensuring greater protection and safety in the city and better balancing the needs of Venice residents and visitors.”

Holzdekoration fur Terrassen in Berlin

Berlin ist eine Stadt, die sich durch ihre vielfaltigen Architekturstile auszeichnet. Besonders attraktiv sind dabei Terrassen, die ein schones Ambiente bieten und den Au?enbereich zu einem begehrten Aufenthaltsort machen. In diesem Artikel werden verschiedene Arten von Gehobelten Brettern sowie Bangkirai und Merbau, zwei tropische Holzer, vorgestellt, die haufig fur Terrassendielen verwendet werden.
[url=https://bvholz.de/holz-laerche-terrasse/terrassendielen-fein ]Bangkirai und Merbau in Berlin[/url]
¦ Gehobelte Bretter - Larche in Berlin kaufen

Dieses Material findet man hauptsachlich bei Spezialisten fur Holzprodukte oder Baumarkten wie Hornbach und Bauhaus. Es gibt jedoch auch Online-Anbieter, die liefern lassen. Larchenholz zeichnet sich durch seine hohe Dauerhaftigkeit und Wetterbestandigkeit aus, was es besonders geeignet macht fur au?entragende Flachen wie Terrassen.

¦ Preise & Qualitat
[url=https://bvholz.de/holz-bangkirai ]Bangkirai und Merbau in Aachen[/url]
Preislich variiert das Angebot je nach Herkunft des Materials. Eine qualitativ hochwertige Larche kann leicht uber €10 pro Quadratmeter kosten. Wer auf Budget achtet, sollte auf Markenartikel achten, die oft im Rahmen von Sonderangeboten erhaltlich sind.

¦ Bangkirai und Merbau in Berlin

Fur Kunden, die etwas Exotischeres suchen, stehen tropische Holzer wie Bangkirai und Merbau zur Verfugung. Diese beiden Sorten sind bekannt fur ihre asthetischen Eigenschaften sowie ihre Bestandigkeit gegen Schimmel und Insektenbefall. Obwohl sie mehr kosten als traditionelle Holzer wie Eiche oder Fichte, lohnt sich der Zukauf aufgrund ihrer langen Lebensdauer.

¦ Verarbeitung & Pflege
[url=https://shop.bvholz.de/product/glattkantbretter-laerche-20-x-140-mm-ab-sortierung/ ]Holz Bangkirai Berlin[/url]
Beide Holzer sollten regelma?ig geolt werden, um ihr Aussehen zu erhalten und vor Feuchtigkeitsschaden zu schutzen. Hierzu empfehlen Experten spezielle Ole, die fur Tropenholzer entwickelt wurden.

¦ Bangkirai und Merbau in Aachen

Auch au?erhalb Berlins sind diese exotischen Holzer beliebt. So findet man sie zum Beispiel in Aachen, wo sie ebenfalls in Baumarkten und Online-Shops angeboten werden. Die Preise entsprechen denen in Berlin und liegen abhangig vom Anbieter zwischen €15 und €30 pro Quadratmeter.

¦ Terrassendielen mit dunnen Nuten konnen in Berlin erworben werden

Neben klassischen Brettern sind auch Dielen mit dunnen Nuten sehr gefragt. Sie ermoglichen eine schnelle Montage und sorgen fur einen modernen Look. Fur solche Produkte ist insbesondere der Online-Handel interessant, da hier eine gro?e Auswahl an Formaten und Farben verfugbar ist.

¦ Vorteile dieser Terrassendielen

Ein besonderer Vorteil dieser Systeme liegt darin, dass sie nicht nur optisch anspruchsvoll sind, sondern auch robust und wetterfest sind. Durch die dunne Nut lasst sich das Wasser besser ableiten, was vor Algenbildung schutzt.

¦ Holz Bangkirai Berlin

In Berlin hat sich Bangkirai mittlerweile etabliert als eines der bevorzugten Holzer fur Terrassenbelag. Seine rotliche Farbe passt hervorragend zu modernen Wohnungsarchitekturen und unterstreicht den Naturcharakter des Materials. Auch wenn Bangkirai anfangs teurer erscheinen mag, so zahlen sich seine Vorteile wie Dauerhaftigkeit und Robustheit schnell wieder aus.

¦ Terrassendielen glatt Berlin

Zuruckhaltender und klassischer wirken hingegen glatte Terrassendielen. Dieser Typ wird ebenfalls gerne eingesetzt, vor allem dann, wenn man einen ruhigeren Stil wunscht. Mit einer guten Abriebfestigkeit eignen sie sich ideal fur Familien mit Kindern oder Haustieren.

¦ Schlussfolgerung

Ob klassisches Larchenholz, exotische Sorten wie Bangkirai und Merbau oder moderne Diensysteme mit dunnen Nuten - jeder Geschmack findet sein passendes Material in Berlin. Unabhangig davon, welches Holz gewahlt wird, sollte immer darauf geachtet werden, dass es ordnungsgema? behandelt und gepflegt wird, damit es lange Freude bereitet.

What we're covering
• Zelensky in Washington: European leaders will join Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, as he meets with US President Donald Trump this afternoon. Trump said Zelensky must agree to some of Russia’s conditions — including that Ukraine cede Crimea and agree never to join NATO — for the war to end.
[url=https://kra34cc.net]kra40 at[/url]
• Potential security guarantees: At last week’s summit with Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to allow security guarantees for Ukraine and made concessions on “land swaps” as part of a potential peace deal, US envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN. Zelensky suggested that such guarantees would need to be stronger than those that “didn’t work” in the past. Russia has yet to mention such agreements.
[url=https://kra30cc.net]kra38 СЃСЃ[/url]
• On the ground: Zelensky condemned Russia’s latest strikes across Ukraine, which killed at least 10 people, saying the Kremlin intends to “humiliate diplomatic efforts” and underscores “why reliable security guarantees are required.”

A month after Lyle and Erik Menendez were arrested for brutally slaying their parents inside their Beverly Hills home, Dr. Ann Burgess entered the Los Angeles County Jail with a stack of blank paper and a set of colored pencils.

It was April 1990, and the maelstrom around Jose and Kitty Menendez’s double murder – and the brothers’ forthcoming trial – had reached a fever pitch. News articles described the crime scene in gory, painstaking detail. Prosecutors and tabloids portrayed the brothers as greedy, calculated, cold-blooded killers.

Burgess was among the earliest women to work with the FBI and a key member of what was known as the bureau’s Behavioral Science Unit in the late ’70s.

That team has since been dubbed “Mindhunters” because they willingly delve into the darkest parts of the human psyche to better understand what motivates a murderer. What they uncover could make even the most hardened detectives blanch.

And while criminal profiling is not an exact science, it is a method investigators increasingly lean on to identify warning signs of a would-be killer.

CNN spoke to former profilers – all women like Dr. Burgess who worked with the FBI – who have pioneered and practiced ways to connect the dots between evidence and psychology to help solve and prevent crimes.

“You start very slowly,” the now 88-year-old told CNN of her approach with Menendez. “You start with, ‘How far back can you remember?’ … and gradually get up to, ‘When did you first have this idea of what you wanted to do to your parents?’”

Burgess said she spent 50 hours interviewing Menendez and, as she recounts in her latest book, she was later called as an “expert witness” to testify about how Erik and Lyle’s decision to confront their father over what they alleged was years of sexual abuse could have provoked enough fear for them to commit a double murder.

She’s since been accused of profiling Menendez as a way to excuse or justify the brothers’ crimes, but Burgess staunchly rejects that characterization.

“You’ve got to do it for prevention,” she said. “You have to learn something from this.”

That, she says, is the question that drives most criminal profilers: How can we prevent the next murder?
