Water Slides Wonderla Park Bangalore, India
I am always intrigued when I find a prospectus that deals with a company in our industry. Not only do these reports offer a unique insight into a business, but they often lead me to another source as well. This is exactly what happened when I found Wonderla Holiday Parks Prospectus for 2014.
Not only was this prospectus full of great information about Wonderla parks and the theme park industry in India, but this report introduced me to a new source: CARE (Credit Analysis and Research Limited)[1] -- the source used for much of this document.
Per usual, I have taken the liberty of posting a few of the pages I personally find interesting and since I know my level of interest varies from many of our readers, a link to the full document can be found at the conclusion of this Blog.
Before I begin, a few tidbits worth noting include:
