Merlin's magic plans for Asia expansion

The world's second biggest visitor attraction operator is looking to expand further into Asia.

Merlin Entertainments runs the Madame Tussauds, The London Eye ferris wheel and Sea Life brands to name just a few, and also recently opened up Legoland in Malaysia.

But the company says there is still ample room for growth in the region.

Merlin's managing director in Asia, Glenn Earlam, told Asia Business Report that Asia is "the most important growth area" for the firm.
