Efteling Grand Hotel will not open at the end of 2024, as previously planned, but will only open its doors in 2025. The project has been delayed because one of the builders of the luxury hotel, construction company Byldis from Veldhoven, recently ran into financial problems. “Fortunately, the company has now been taken over and the preparatory work has continued,” says Nicole Scheffers, director of Park & ​​Resorts at Efteling.

THE £100million project was first announced in 2022, with hopes that it will be completed in 2026. But a huge setback could delay the opening of the brand-new Eden Project Morecambe in Lancaster.

Work on Eden Project Morecambe, originally known as Eden Project North, has been delayed by Government red tape. As reported by the Lancaster Guardian, Eden Boss, Si Bellamy, revealed that some stages were "taking longer than expected" - with the opening date likely to be pushed back.
The delays have resulted from ongoing talks between the Eden team, Lancaster City Council, and the UK Government's levelling-up department, which awarded £50million to the project in January.

The mass production of "flying cars" to provide visitors with air taxi services at the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka is unlikely to be completed in time for the event's opening due to delays in safety certification, four operators involved in the project have said.
Japan had planned for the air taxi service to be among the expo's main attractions, with the two- to five-seater vehicles expected to provide access to the event's venue, set up on the artificial Yumeshima island in Osaka Bay.

Osaka Gov. Hirofumi Yoshimura is seeking to use the expo as an opportunity to introduce the idea of flying cars being implemented into society, but with safety hurdles not yet cleared and with only around a year and a half left until the expo opens, a limited number of aircraft are expected to be operational in time.
