‘Falcon’s Beyond Global’ Launches as Fully Integrated Development Enterprise for IP-Driven Parks, Resorts, Media, & Merchandise

New enterprise brings proprietary "Katmandu' and partner IPs to global markets through theme parks, resorts, feature films, episodic series, consumer products, and beyond.

————–
Joint venture with Meli Hotels International brings access to prime real estate and a global operating presence in major tourist destinations in 40 countries.

ORLANDO Fla., July 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With proven theme park success in Europe, an award–winning creative team, patented technologies, and access to global real estate in prime tourist destinations, Falcon's Beyond Global, LLC has launched as a fully integrated enterprise to propel story–driven, experiential entertainment around the world.

Until now, it has proven almost impossible for most IP franchises to rapidly deploy across media content, consumer products, and hardest of all, themed location–based entertainment, all at once.

The new enterprise, supercharged by a joint venture with Meli Hotels International, will be the only vertically–integrated entertainment powerhouse able to simultaneously activate an intellectual property across the full transmedia spectrum "" with the potential to transform the $440 billion hospitality and entertainment category.

Meli, the world's #1 leisure hotel group with 390+ properties in 40 countries, many in prime beach destinations, is jointly developing theme park + resort combos with Falcon's Beyond at flagship properties on multiple continents.

Falcon's Beyond was formalized this May when leading attraction design & master–planning firm Falcon's Creative Group united with themed–entertainment company Katmandu Group.

This powerful combination has instantly created the only fully integrated source for simultaneous entertainment IP activations""from streaming media development to theme park site acquisition; master planning to brick–and–mortar projects; immersive ride & attraction design to merchandise creation; right through world–class park & resort operation.

Expanding and Evolving the Katmandu IP

A first major focus of Falcon's Beyond will be to apply its IP Expander model to the rapid evolution of its original and wholly–owned "Katmandu" IP""already popular with the millions of Europeans who have visited Sol Katmandu Park & Resort in Mallorca, Spain, and a growing list of Katmandu–branded kids camps in Meli's Sol Hotels.

Audiences resonate with the Katmandu universe's timeless, intertwined tales""where mythical characters come to life in wild adventures, inspiring wonder with imaginative, immersive realms, elusive yetis, and a multicultural cast of adventurers.

Along with new characters, a streaming video series, and merchandise, the proven Katmandu IP will undergo a brick–and–mortar expansion. Through unique technological capabilities, Falcon's Beyond will establish Katmandu as the first world–class theme park to have every ride and attraction customized to a centralized story "like chapters in the same legend," and digitally tied to individual guest experiences.

Development is moving forward on additional Katmandu parks on the grounds of Meli resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Tenerife, Spain and other key tourist destinations.

Enabling the Impossible

"Falcon's Beyond Global represents the ultimate combination of unlimited storytelling potential, agile and flexible real estate scalability, and imaginative expansion into a multitude of categories," said Cecil D. Magpuri, CEO of Falcon's Beyond Global and founder of the original Falcon's Creative Group. "We develop inclusive, story–driven experiences that we can bring to market with unprecedented speed, removing all the massive challenges IP franchises and developers face when attempting this feat on their own."

"We are truly enabling the impossible," said Scott Demerau, Executive Chairman of Falcon's Beyond Global and co–founder of Katmandu Group. "Through our partnership with Meli, we have created a new playbook for building cost–effective, "Big–Experience, Small–Footprint' theme parks, from beach resort communities to mixed–use entertainment spaces. Falcon's Beyond Global brings a full complement of technology, design, and media expertise to the equation. Together, we are offering something that's simply never been accessible to companies before. This is a huge benefit to developers, emerging IPs, and even entertainment giants."

Creating "Big–Experience, Small–Footprint" Parks

Meli Hotels and Katmandu Group originally came together in a 2012 joint venture to launch the themed Sol Katmandu Park & Resort in Mallorca and complement the beach holiday experience by providing "entertainment with rooms." Their proof–of–concept rocketed to the top of the Meli Sol portfolio and was named in the European Hospitality Awards as the #1 hotel in Europe for innovation in service, out of more than 100,000 hotels. Trivago Global named the park + resort as the #1 Hotel in Spain for Traveling with Kids. TripAdvisor named Katmandu Park in the top 3 parks in Spain three years in a row, and as a Travelers' Choice Best of the Best 2020.

Falcon's Beyond will elevate this unique, proven model of "Big–Experience, Small–Footprint" theme parks for Katmandu and other IPs around the world, leveraging the joint venture with Meli, whose global operating presence enables growth in any tourism destination across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and beyond. The rights to additional important IPs have already been secured, and Falcon's Beyond is in discussions with others to deploy complete transmedia expressions at unheard–of speeds. The company has worked on master planning and design projects totaling over $100 billion and won numerous design awards for its world–class attractions and experiences.

Revolutionary Alternative to Mega Parks

Traditional "mega theme parks" require at least 6–8 years of planning, billions in investment, difficult real estate acquisition, new transportation infrastructures, urban planning, and 5–7 years of construction.

Falcon's Beyond delivers a revolutionary alternative.

Falcon's proprietary rides and attractions are world–class, cutting–edge, story–driven, and the first of their kind. Its patented technologies are uniquely able to create mega–park experiences in "Big–Experience, Small–Footprint" parks "" which leverage underused land on existing resorts in dense tourist hotspots. Falcon's Beyond parks can be deployed in as little as a 24–36 month window at a tiny fraction of the cost of a mega park, with Falcon's providing expert, ongoing operations.

A True Disruptor

“Meli is committed to bringing extraordinary experiences to our guests around the world," said Andr Gerondeau, Chief Operating Officer of Meli Hotels International. "Katmandu–themed parks and resorts will be a vital part of our story moving forward, and we feel this initiative puts us five years ahead of the rest of the hospitality industry in delivering "entertainment with rooms.' Everyone at Meli is thrilled to be working with the creative minds and experienced development experts at Falcon's Beyond."

"Falcon's Beyond and its unprecedented, imaginative, and already–deployed IP activation model completely shifts the established entertainment industry paradigm," said industry leader Ken Faier, founder of Epic Story Media, a full–service, creator–driven kids entertainment company. "We have seen first–hand what Falcon's is creating and we are really excited to explore an epic collaboration. There is a big demand for families looking for exciting experiences around great IP."

With its expertise in intellectual property expansion, licensing, and immersive experiences, Falcon's Beyond Global has unprecedented power to turn imagined worlds into reality "" inspiring wonder in audiences and guests, with memories to last a lifetime.

About Falcon's Beyond Global LLC
Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Falcon's Beyond Global, LLC is a fully integrated, top–tier experiential entertainment development enterprise specializing in intellectual property expansion.

Falana & Falana Issues the Following Statement: Alex Saab Challenges Indictment in U.S. Court

WASHINGTON, July 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, the legal team of Baker Hostetler, representing Mr. Alex Saab, filed their Opening Brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, challenging a decision by U.S. District Judge in Miami refusing to consider Mr. Saab's status as a diplomat immune from U.S. proceedings unless and until he personally appears in the United States.

Mr. Saab was unlawfully detained, at the request of U.S. law enforcement authorities, in Cabo Verde, where his aircraft had stopped to refuel. He was, in fact, traveling from Venezuela to Iran on a diplomatic mission, seeking humanitarian assistance in the midst of the COVID–19 pandemic. It is a well established rule of international law that diplomats, traveling from their country of origin to an overseas post, whether as a special envoy like Mr. Saab or as part of a permanent mission, are entitled to diplomatic immunity from arrest or detention. Accordingly, at the instruction of his own government, he has vigorously opposed his extradition to the United States.

Mr. Saab, the subject of a U.S. indictment for alleged wrongdoing in Venezuela and neighboring countries, sought to raise this point with the Miami district judge, who refused to consider his immunity until he agreed to personally appear before the judge in the United States. The judge grounded his decision in the "fugitive disentitlement" doctrine, which is a judge–made rule stating that individuals who have fled the court's authority cannot raise legal arguments until they have been physically brought before the court.

However, this doctrine does not apply in Mr. Saab's case because he has never fled the United States or U.S. law enforcement authorities, and has opposed his extradition to the United States because he is a diplomat on mission entitled to immunity. Accordingly, Mr. Saab has appealed the District Judge's ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In his Opening Brief, Mr. Saab has made plain that he is not a fugitive from the United States and that, as Venezuela's Special Envoy to Iran, he is a diplomatic Head of Mission under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the United States Diplomatic Relations Act, which implements U.S. treaty obligations under that Convention. In fact, the Eleventh Circuit concluded that Special Envoy's like Mr. Saab are entitled to immunity in a case decided in 1984, Abdulaziz v. Meto. Dade County, 741 F.2d 1328 (11th Cir. 1984). This case constitutes binding precedent on both the District Judge and the Court of Appeals.

Accordingly, Mr. Saab has asked the Court of Appeals to reject the District Court's application of the Fugitive Disentitlement Doctrine and to rule that he is entitled to immunity from arrest, detention, and extradition to the United States, dismissing the case against him.

Hatch raises C$1 million for COVAX and UNICEF

Mississauga, Canada, July 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mississauga, Canada"" Hatch employees came together in an eight–week–long campaign to raise funds in support of COVAX, helping them progress towards their goal of procuring and delivering 2 billion doses of COVID–19 vaccines globally. Through the employees' generous donations and a corporate match, $C1 million was raised!

COVAX is co–led by Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organization, alongside key delivery partner, UNICEF. Its aim is to accelerate the development and manufacture of COVID–19 vaccines, and to guarantee fair and equitable access for every country in the world.

Unfortunately, many countries do not have the ability to maintain progress or even start. It is clear the pandemic will not truly end until all countries have equitable access to vaccines. UNICEF is working with manufacturers and partners on the procurement and delivery of vaccine doses, as well as freight, logistics, and storage for countries around the world. With Hatch's donation, UNICEF will be able to fully vaccinate (two doses) more than 187,000 people worldwide.

"To end this pandemic, we need to think globally and act locally to make a difference beyond our families and our company""this is the basis of real positive change around the world. As a global company, we are engaging great people who make a difference every day in their communities, with our clients, and with each other. Together, we saw the imperative to support the world's largest mass health campaign to stop the COVID–19 virus and move forward into a better future," shared John Bianchini, Hatch's Chairman and CEO.

"On behalf of UNICEF, I would like to thank Hatch for its support in ensuring widespread and equitable delivery of COVID–19 vaccines. They stepped up to help UNICEF in its efforts to deliver the largest fastest immunization campaign in history. We are grateful to Hatch employees for their contributions and to Hatch for increasing the impact by matching every dollar raised," shared David Morley, UNICEF Canada's President and CEO.

Hatch is committed to doing its part to support efforts to end the COVID–19 pandemic. Hatch also recently sponsored the "This is our Shot" movement, a consortium of grassroots organizations, Canadian businesses, associations, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and influencers focused on educating and inspiring Canadians so that vaccine hesitancy is replaced with confidence.

40 Million People Relied on GFN Food Banks for Meals amid COVID-19 Crisis in 2020

Chicago, IL, July 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) announced that food banks in 44 countries served 40 million people in 2020, a 132 percent increase over service in 2019. The data is part of GFN's annual Network survey, which this year includes information about how GFN–supported food banks around the world responded to COVID–19.

The significant increase in people accessing food banks reflects the toll of the pandemic. As food requests rose from cut–off or quarantined communities, food banks rapidly deployed their transport, inventory, and logistics infrastructures to assist people who were isolated due to closed schools and public support agencies or overwhelmed health systems.

"Food banks have served as a lifeline for millions of people during the health crisis," said Lisa Moon, president and CEO of The Global FoodBanking Network. "When the pandemic rattled economies and prevented access to food, food banks responded where existing infrastructure failed. They proved agile and resourceful, providing emergency relief and hope to their communities."

African food banks, which served 169 percent more people than the year before, reported the highest increase in people served globally, followed by food banks in Latin America, which served 157 percent more people than in 2019.

Many food banks embraced mass distribution through congregate feeding sites and meal kit deliveries as they sought to reach the most people possible. More than half of the people served by GFN partner food banks in 2020 were women and girls.

Children were especially vulnerable during lockdowns and movement restrictions. In response to widespread school closures, the majority of GFN partner food banks that operated or supported feeding programs for school–age children (including school lunches, after–school snacks, and backpack programs) quickly pivoted to alternative models, such as providing food directly to families or organizing distribution events at schools and daycare centers.

As COVID–19 disrupted the global food supply chain, food banks saw a shift in the sources of donated products. According to the survey, food banks experienced a tremendous drop in donations from food services, restaurants, hotels, grocers, and markets. At the same time, food donations from the agricultural sector nearly doubled in 2020, partly because farms did not have the informal labor force needed for harvest.

This year promises to be another challenging year for food banks. In the GFN survey, food banks in many countries reported deep concern over slow vaccine rollouts, additional waves of infections, economic recovery and recession, and staff and volunteer burnout.

"COVID–19 has made the hunger crisis even more urgent," said Moon. "Now more than ever, it is important that governments, businesses, and other community leaders partner with food banks, which are community assets that work to ensure all people have access to food."

###

About The Global FoodBanking Network:

The Global FoodBanking Network supports community–driven solutions to alleviate hunger in more than 40 countries. While millions struggle to access enough safe and nutritious food, nearly a third of all food produced is lost or wasted. We're changing that. We believe food banks directed by local leaders are key to achieving Zero Hunger and building resilient food systems. For more information, visit foodbanking.org.
