1. PRODUCT -  AMUSEMENT PARK

Amusement park is the generic term for a collection of rides  and other  entertainment 

attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large group of people. Anamusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, usually providing

attractions meant to cater to children, teenagers, and adults.

Amusement parks evolved in Europe from fairs and pleasure gardens which were created

for people’s recreation. The oldest amusement park of the world (opened 1583) is Bakken, at

Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. In the United States, world's fairs and

expositions were another influence on development of the amusement park industry.

3. LOCATION: SILIGURI, WEST BENGAL

The chosen location for the Amusement Park is Siliguri, West Bengal which is considered to

be ideal and quite suitable.

Map showing location of Siliguri

 Why Siliguri?

Siliguri is a city in the  Indian  state of  West Bengal. It is advantageously connected with

Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh. Siliguri is strategically located in the Chicken's 

Neck — a narrow strip of land linking India to its north eastern states. It is also the transit

point for air, road and rail traffic to Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The town hosts over 40

Lakh domestic and 2 Lakh foreign visitors annually. Siliguri is situated in Darjeeling district, 

and though it is the district's largest city, the district headquarters is Darjeeling.

• Geography Advantages: It is the largest town in the area and connects the hill station 

towns of Gangtok, Kalimpong and  Darjeeling with the rest of India. The climate ofSiliguri is temperate in nature. Summers are not very hot and a temperature normally

does not exceed 35°C. During this season, tourists from all over India stop in Siliguri.

Winters are cool and temperatures range from a high of 15°C to a low of about 10°C.

• Transport: Local public Transport includes buses, cycle rickshaws and tempos. Two

railway stations Siliguri and New Jalpaiguri which connect the town to the north

eastern. Bagdogra airport, situated about 15 kilometres. The Siliguri Central Bus stop is a

major stop in the region. Bhutan also operates buses from Siliguri to the Bhutanese

capital Thimphu. Direct road connection to Bhutan and Nepal and other North- Eastern

states has prompted Siliguri to become a buzzing modern international trade centre.

National Highway (NH-31), connecting Siliguri to Kolkata and Assam.

Hill cart road- connecting the hills, which comprise the tourist centers of West Bengal and

Sikkim.

State Highway (SH) 12A linking Siliguri to Jalpaiguri.

• Population: Siliguri has consistently shown a high rate of population growth. In 1991,

Siliguri Municipal Corporation area had a population of 0.37 million, while the

population of the Siliguri Urban area was 0.47 million. Advantageous location of Siliguri

made it an ideal center of trade, commerce & transit tourist traffic. As Siliguri lies on the

traditional trade route to Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet, even in its initial period of

growth, it attracted people from its vast hinterland stretching as far as Bihar, eastern

fringes of Uttar Pradesh and Assam. As a result Siliguri has acquired a cosmopolitan

character. Present population of Siliguri is more than 0.60 million.

• Infrastructure: The city roads are being developed, upgraded and strengthened to

improve and ease connectivity within the city and the region. A new township near is

being proposed in this location. Based on the upcoming economic opportunities, the

State Government has proposed for the development of Bagdogra Airport into an

‘International Airport’.

• Keeping the dilemma of today’s lifestyle in mind, proposing a space in the heart of the

city, where people from all the walks of life can spend quality time with the entire

family leaving behind all tensions and worries. This place is also going to be a pause

point for travelers who are moving towards hills and northeast, a place with exciting

and alluring range of activities, where people of all ages will find something or more tomeet their interests, idea of having fun, relaxing, all at one place.

Looking at the above unique advantages and backed up by the tourist projections it may be

observed that there is a convergence of need gap and expectations of the quality

entertainment center and facilities and the proposed products, services and the offerings.

PROJECT ON AMUSEMENT PARK 

The nature of consumer tastes and preferences is changing. A number of trends have

emerged that influence tourist lifestyles, and leisure and tourism choices –

• Focus on increasing personal needs;

• More active travel participation;

•

More emphasis on educational experience of leisure;• Increasing need for pleasure and food at one place

• Variety in entertainment in one place

At present there are a fewer number of amusement parks both in big and as well as small

cities. But the demand is immense therefore, to cater to this outgrowing demand; there is

imperative need for setting up more number of amusement parks.

product or performed service adheres to a defined set of quality criteria or meets the

requirements of the client or customer. QC is similar to, but not identical with, quality assurance 

(QA). QA is defined as a procedure or set of procedures intended to ensure that a product or

service under development (before work is complete, as opposed to afterwards) meets specified

requirements. QA is sometimes expressed together with QC as a single expression, quality

assurance and control (QA/QC).

Quality Planning is a critical part of any project. It enables to agree a set of quality targets withthe customer. It then helps to monitor and control the level of quality produced by the project;

ensure to meet the quality targets set.
