They symbolize wealth. And yes, wealth is a good thing. There are plenty of nations without it, or where the wealth is sequestered by force only in the hands of the rulers and their cronies. The best and most promising thing on the list would be the "ArabDisney." I'll explain:

McDonald's and Disneylands are not built to serve the rich. Think about that.

They are built to serve a thriving middle class. Like certain kinds of fish on reefs, or certain birds in a forest, such places and others like them are a sign of an economic system's overall health. In my opinion, such "consumerist" outfits are a much better sign of widespread freedom and wealth than hotels and golf courses, which can also exist in oppressive nations, but only to serve the rulers.

It is not surprising that like the middle class itself, they are held in utter contempt by totalitarians, who prefer uneducated poverty-stricken citizens that make the best slaves and cannon fodder.
