British and Spanish visitors are deserting EuroDisney in Paris.

The largest theme park operator in Europe has made a net loss of over 70 million euros. This is almost twice the amount it lost last year. The drop is blamed in part on the value of the British pound against the euro, as well as on higher unemployment in Spain. Visitors from other Eurozone countries are booking shorter stays.More about: France, Paris
