THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION

People from different socio-economic classes all patronize leisure and recreation services. Filipinos’ propensity to spend on these is directly proportional to income level. Even lower income families allocate a percentage for recreation. Among those that constitute this sector are malls and bazaars, outdoor parks, arcade and gaming centers, sports and fitness centers, and tourist attractions, both natural and man-made. Amusement parks are particularly ap-pealing for weekend outings and family and school trips.

Players in the amusement and recreation industry include a few large and many small com-panies. The largest player is Armtrust Leisure Corporation’s Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, which is poised to expand its 15-hectare complex in the coming 3-5 years. Other di-rect competitors include SM Mall of Asia’s By the Bay Amusement Park, Manila Ocean Park, Sky Ranch, and Tagaytay Picnic Grove.

Opened in 1991 by the Manila Broadcasting Company and the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Star City is a 35,000-square meter amusement park in Pasay City. The park is in operation every day, 4:00 PM onwards from Monday to Thursday, and 2:00 PM onwards from Friday-Sunday.

Star City has over 30 rides and attractions that cater to children, adults, and families. The regular entrance fee is PHP 60.00, where children shorter than 32 feet are accepted for free admission. The Ride-All-You-Can ticket costs PHP 400.00.

It is proud member of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, American Society for Testing and Materifals, and Philippine Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.

Star City had received controversy from 2 deaths in 2006 and 2009. There had not been well-publicized efforts to renovate Star City in order to resolve resulting brand image problems rooted in safety issues and the perya perception, which con-notes dirty and unmaintained facilities.

Star City has an affordable entrance fee of only PHP 60.00. Located within the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex in Pasay City, it is very accessible through various com-mute routes. It takes pride in its proposition of being the Philippine’s only weather-proof and air-conditioned amusement park. It has over 30 rides and attractions, suitable for children, adults, and families.

Rides are not as hyped and distinct as its competitors, which may be attributed to the lack of a common theme. Consumers also generally view Star City as a place for the masa, and therefore there is a stigma – even among the lower classes.

Even amidst recessions, family time remains to be more important to consumers. Group-based activities such as trips to amusement parks are popular. In planning trips, consumers also seek out packages and discount vouchers in order to spend less money.

Threats from both direct and indirect competitors are significant. SM Mall of Asia and its By the Bay Amusement Park are within the same vicinity. Enchanted Kingdom’s expansion strategy of diversification creates more alternatives against Star City.
