The resort is expected to welcome between 10 and 12 million visitors a year.

Universal Studios' Beijing resort opened its doors to the public on Monday, September 20 after a two-decade wait, including delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One Universal Studios employee told Reuters that visitor numbers were being capped at around 10,000 for Monday because of the pandemic but the park has the capacity for many more.

All 10,000 tickets for the opening, available in a pre-sale on September 14, were sold out in three minutes, according to Trip.com Group.

Beijing-based visitors snatched 40% of the tickets for the first month, while the cities of Tianjin and Shanghai were the second- and third-largest sources of patrons, according to travel website qunar.com.

Still, many buyers complained on social media about ticket costs, which range from 418 yuan ($64.76) in the low season to 748 yuan during peak periods.

The resort is expected to welcome between 10 and 12 million visitors a year and generate annual revenues of more than $1.55 billion (RMB10 billion), according to the vice general manager of Beijing Tourism Group Yu Xuezhong, Xinhua said.
