  • DEGREE of DOCTOR of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, Honoris Causa
    DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, honoris causa Dr the Honourable Allan Zeman, GBM, GBS, JP Mr Pro-Chancellor, It was fifty years ago when Neil Armstrong and the crew of Apollo 11 embarked on the ambitious space mission to the Moon; millions watched with bated breath as he stepped out of the spacecraft and left the first human footprints in lunar soil. To Dr Allan Zeman, his decision to leave his life in Canada behind and move to Hong Kong was akin to flying to the Moon—an undertaking that most would consider unimaginable at that time. By virtue of his abiding hardiness, however, Dr Zeman was not run down by fear of the unknown, and instead stayed resilient and positive against all challenges throughout his subsequent professional and public life. Now a revered figure in the tourism and hospitality industry of Hong Kong and brand builder extraordinaire in Asia, the brave explorer has indubitably left his mark in the larger fabric of Hong Kong’s history. As a young man growing up in Montreal, Canada, Dr Zeman was already determined to cut a different path than his peers. Losing his father at seven, he entered the workforce at a very young age, starting out as a paper boy and restaurant waiter. Before turning 20, he had started his own fashion business and made his first million US dollars. With the boom in Hong Kong’s manufacturing industry during the 1960s and ’70s, his business had brought him to this city for the very first time. Despite the language barrier and cultural differences, Dr Zeman was captivated by the city’s can-do spirit and vibrant energy.

  • CATCHING the WAVE at OCEAN PARK Ocean Park Hong Kong's
    CATCHING THE WAVE AT OCEAN PARK It was a sunny fall day and Thomas Mehrmann, Chief Executive of Ocean Park Hong Kong had just returned to his office from a visit to Tai Shue Wan (TSW), a site within the Park planned for development. Located in Aberdeen on the south side of Hong Kong island, Ocean Park sat on both sides of Brick Hill (Nam Long Shan) stretching across a site of 879,000 square meters, with Tai Shue Wan sitting on the west side. When Mehrmann came on board in 2004, the outlook for Ocean Park was bleak. The Park had run a deficit from 1998 to 2003, with the exception of a brief rebound in 2002, and Hong Kong Disneyland was due to open in 2005. Disney’s entry to the local market meant that Ocean Park had to compete with one of the global leaders in the theme park industry, let alone against growing local and regional competition. Since Mehrmann took over the helm, he was credited with the successful repositioning of Hong Kong’s home grown theme park after Hong Kong Disneyland had opened, and for steering the Park’s HK$5.55 billion redevelopment plan. For four consecutive years between 2004 and 2007, Ocean Park had boosted attendance, increased revenue and grew a surplus, paving the way for its self-financed redevelopment. Tai Shue Wan would be the next major development after 2012. Mehrmann knew that now was the time to evaluate the future of Tai Shue Wan in the context of the larger plan for Ocean Park.
