SHANGHAI International Tourism and Resorts Zone, which has the Disney resort as its centerpiece, is looking for volunteers.

Seven hundred people are needed to help maintain order, give directions, assist disabled tourists and serve as interpreters for foreigners when the zone opens to the public at the end of April, the government announced over the weekend.

Tourists will be able to find the volunteers at bus terminals, shuttle bus stops, metro stations, parking lots, and the Disney park's entries and exits on weekends and Chinese national holidays, and during the school summer holiday.
