Dumbo is far away, but I'm pretty sure he's from Asia
Physical difference between an Asian (left) and African (right) elephant.
African elephants are distinguished from Asian elephants in several ways, the most noticeable being their much larger ears. Also, the African elephant is typically larger than the Asian elephant and has a concave back. In Asian elephants, only males have tusks, but both males and females of African elephants have tusks and are usually less hairy than their Asian cousins

Well now we know why entries are required to be specific...
Some good ideas so far, looks like it is definitely in Asia, the clue would suggest this too.
Where are the flash hackers that got all the clues ahead of time last time?

Careful, folks, The park was renamed Chitwan National Park. The word Royal was dropped from the name. Official reference: http://www.dnpwc.gov.np/national-parks-chitwan.asp

So there is the Crowne Plaza in Nepal. According to the website, besides royal chitwan national park (on their website which is mapquest) there is also shivapuri national park and longtang national park. Could it be one of them?
