Themed entertainment planning and design company FORREC is entering into a partnership with China-based architectural design institute Tongji Architectural Design Group (TJAD).

Based in Shanghai, TJAD is one of the leading design institutes in China with a wide range of disciplines available.

Forrec and TJAD's most recent collaboration is the Wanda Wuhan Indoor Movie Theme Park in China, scheduled to open in 2014.

Anthony Van Dam, executive vice president of Forrec said: "TJAD and Forrec are committed to pursuing projects across China that are state-of-the-art and inspired,"

"We've been working in China for over 20 years; consumers are savvier and their propensity for high quality leisure environments is growing rapidly. To provide greater service in the execution of break-through projects with cultural sensitivity is an opportunity we relish."
