11月25日，宋城演艺发展股份有限公司（宋城演艺，300144.SZ）发布公告称，拟支付现金购买控股股 东杭州宋城集团控股有限公司（下称"宋城集团"）持有的杭州宋城实业有限公司（下称"宋城实业"） 100%股权，整体转让价格约9.63亿元（人民币，下同）。 交易完成后，宋城实业成为宋城演艺的全资子公司并纳入公司合并报表范围。 宋城演艺在公告中表示，公司旗下宋城景区于1996年5月18日开园，是第一个开业运营的千古情景区。 30年来，宋城景区累计接待游客达1.1亿人次，累计上演《宋城千古情》近3.9万场，是世界上迄今为止 演出场次最多、接待观众人数最多的大型旅游演出和文化主题公园，推动杭州成为全国乃至全球游客向 往的旅游目的地之一。但土地资源的瓶颈直接制约了产品线升级与业态丰富。大量面向年轻人、亲子客 群、沉浸式娱乐、新科技演艺等新内容，因缺乏用地而无法落地；游客停留时间、二次消费空间也受到 限制，宋城景区在"深度游、长时间、高客单"的趋势下存在先天短板。加上近年同类产品加速扩张，宋 城景区客流与营收已连续几年下滑，若不扩容升级，趋势难以扭转。 宋城演艺表示，本次拟收购比邻的宋城实业，将把景区从67亩拓展至约2 ...

11月25日晚间，宋城演艺（300144）发布公告称，宋城演艺拟支付现金购买控股股东杭州宋城集团控股 有限公司（下称"宋城集团"）持有的杭州宋城实业有限公司（下称"宋城实业"）100%股权。整体转让 价格为9.63亿元。宋城演艺表示，此次收购不仅是对宋城景区核心版图的扩容，更意味着宋城演艺在内 容生产、标准输出和全球复制方面，正式迈入"强大中央厨房时代"。 不过，随着科技进步和文旅市场竞争日益激烈，单一景区各自为战的模式已难以完全适应新阶段的发展 要求。如何通过统一创作、统一标准、统一培训和统一管理，在全国乃至全球范围内高效复制"宋城模 式"，成为宋城演艺战略升级的关键课题。 近年来，宋城演艺提出并持续实践"中央厨房"理念：由总部集中进行内容策划、剧目创作、技术研发和 标准制定，再根据各地文化特点进行本地化调整，实现"一次创作、多地复制、持续升级"。据悉，这一 模式已在宋城演艺内部初见成效，但受制于场地有限，中央厨房在功能布局上长期存在"空间不够用"的 现实瓶颈。沉浸式演出创作、AI剧场研发、大型活动排练、设备测试实验室以及系统化培训基地等多 项功能，一直难以在同一园区内集中配备和高效联动。 根据公告披露，宋 ...

11月25日晚间，宋城演艺发展股份有限公司（以下简称"宋城演艺"）发布公告称，拟收购紧邻宋城景区 的杭州宋城实业有限公司（以下简称"宋城实业"）100%股权，一次性纳入约140亩核心用地。交易完成 后，宋城景区整体用地面积将由原先的67亩扩大至约200亩，核心板块与西湖风景区、五云山、梅家 坞、钱塘江、浙江省博物馆、非遗馆以及改善居住区紧密相连，形成杭州极为稀缺的文旅黄金版图。 深耕行业三十余年，宋城景区以《宋城千古情》等代表作品持续输出高质量文化内容，显著带动了周边 土地和物业价值的持续提升。然而，受制于有限用地，宋城景区目前游览线路仅约1公里，建筑面积和 景区功能不匹配，已难以承载宋城演艺"核心大本营"和"演艺王国"的发展诉求。 有文化产业专家认为，此次扩容意味着宋城演艺将把原有约1公里的游览线路，扩展至约4公里，形成层 次更丰富、停留时间更长的闭环式演艺度假区，首次拥有足够的物理空间去承载"多剧场、多内容、多 时段"的深度体验式产品体系。过去受制于空间的内容创新现在具备了落地条件，这将会带来内容迭 代、客流结构升级的联动效应，利好公司中长期增长。 在空间布局上，新扩展区域将重点补足亲子板块、年轻人板块和 ...

Group 1 - The difficulty of listing cultural tourism companies is significant due to structural contradictions between the purpose of listing and the current state of real business operations [20] - Most cultural tourism enterprises, approximately 99.99%, do not need to consider listing as a development goal, nor should they view secondary markets like REITs as a target for growth [20] - Existing listed cultural tourism companies have engaged in disorderly expansion, effectively blocking the path to a viable listing business model [20] Group 2 - Single scenic spots have the potential for listing if they meet two necessary conditions: having a top-tier brand and avoiding blind cross-industry expansion [20] - The number of domestic cultural tourism scenic spots that can meet these standards is limited, and success depends on subjective initiative and appropriate land use procedures [20] - The prosperity of capital markets is contingent upon excellent real business performance; relying on listing as a development goal can only provide temporary relief, as unsustainable practices will eventually be exposed [21] Group 3 - The current listing requirements for companies include being a joint-stock company, having stable shareholders and core management, meeting financial indicators, ensuring legal compliance, and adhering to capital and issuance ratios [6] - Cultural tourism companies face unique challenges as their core products, such as tourist attractions, are fixed and cannot be relocated, making expansion reliant on supplementary business models [9][11] - The only cultural tourism company that has successfully listed and meets the requirements is Songcheng Performance [12]
