SHANGHAI, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Universal Studios" Beijing resort will officially open on Sept. 20, China"s state broadcaster CCTV said on Monday, citing the theme park. The park, a joint venture between Comcast Corp"s (CMCSA.O) Universal Parks & Resorts and state-owned Beijing Shouhuan Cultural Tourism Investment, will begin trial operations on Sept. 1, CCTV said. Universal Studios announced the development of the resort - the world"s fifth Universal Studios-branded theme park - in 2014, saying at the time it would cost $3.3 billion. Its opening date has been postponed for several months due to the coronavirus pandemic, local media said.

Beijing Shouhuan Cultural Tourism Investment is owned by five Beijing state-owned companies, including Beijing Tourism Group, one of the country"s biggest tourism firms, according to the park"s website.
