Letters | Why must Hong Kong sink billions into Ocean Park, when millions live in poverty ?
This 43-year-old attraction is well past its sell-by date and this latest proposal is unlikely to restore it to profitability nor satisfy the changing needs of tourists and visitors. The theme park is already unable to repay its current loans and this latest “transformation” will not even come to fruition until 2027.
Invest in Ocean Park or try to start reducing poverty? The answer, to most people, is obvious.

Park gets a lifeline while small businesses drown
Ocean Park has been unable to even pay past loans and clearly as a business is not viable. It never ceases to amaze me how the government continues to throw good money after bad on projects like Ocean Park in the interest of “Hong Kong tourism” or fictitious jobs of the future (low-paying, of course, except for the beneficiaries at the top).
