01. Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events. On March 7, 2024, the Katmandu Park in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (" Katmandu Park ") was closed to visitors. The closure follows financial, operational, and infrastructure challenges at the Katmandu Park and a recent shift in the strategic focus of Falcon's Beyond Global, Inc. (the " Company "), as further described below. Katmandu Park, which is part of the Company's unconsolidated Sierra Parima reporting segment and the Falcon's Beyond Destinations business, was one of two entertainment destinations developed, owned and operated through three joint venture entities between the Company and Meli Hotels International, S.A. (" Meli "), and the closure of Katmandu Park does not immediately affect the operations of the other two joint venture entities. The Company believes that the closure of the park is in the best interest of the joint venture at this time because the closure eliminates potential ongoing operational losses. Prior to the park's closure, the Company experienced losses as a result of the financial, operational, and infrastructure challenges encountered at Katmandu Park, including as a result of visitor levels at Katmandu Park that were below management's expectations. As part of the preparation of its financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the " Annual Report "), the Company has determined that it expects to record an impairment charge with respect to the Company's investment in the Sierra Parima joint venture in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A full description of such impairment charge will be included in the Annual Report. As referenced above, the closure of Katmandu Park also aligns with the Company's recent shift in business strategy, including its intention to employ an asset-efficient approach to its Falcon's Beyond Destinations business and center its strategic focus and growt
