The Hong Kong government has unveiled a plan to refurbish Ocean Park, the territory’s aquatic-skewed theme park. The plan would cost $1.6 billion (HK$10.6 billion). The park has been losing money f…
The park has been losing money for the past four years, with losses rising to $77.5 million in the year to June. It has variously blamed the losses on the cost of investment and on repairs necessitated by a typhoon.
Ocean Park chairman Leo Kung Lin-cheng said that the revamp would allow it to attract larger numbers of visitors and improve Hong Kong’s overall attractiveness. Kung projects 5 million visitors in the 2022/23 financial year, and 7.5 million in 2027/28. Even the park’s proposal to scale back its marine exhibits did not sit well with animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals . “As long as dolphins at Ocean Park are still trapped in cramped tanks, they will continue to suffer. .. Ocean Park’s decision to end its dolphin shows but to keep the animals as a tourist gimmick is a missed ethical and financial opportunity.
