Mr Patrick LAU will address the Council on the Ocean Park Corporation Annual Report 2004-2005. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 23 November 2005 2135 Ocean Park Corporation Annual Report 2004-2005 MR PATRICK LAU: Madam President, Honourable Members, I table before the Legislative Council today the 2004-05 Annual Report of the Ocean Park Corporation. Ocean Park had an extraordinary year in 2004-05. Not only did Ocean Park launch the master plan to redevelop the Park into the world's leading marine-based theme park, but it also achieved record-breaking attendance, revenues and surpluses. Led by Chairman Allan ZEMAN, CEO Tom MEHRMANN and a committed team of employees, in June 2005, the Park achieved the highest-recorded attendance in the Park's history and welcomed the four millionth visitor for the 2004-05 fiscal year. Compared to the prior year, overall visitor attendance increased by 9% in 2004-05, topping 4.03 million. Gross revenues exceeded the year before by 12% at $684 million giving the Park a surplus of $119.5 million and making it the highest surplus achieved on record at the Park. Ocean Park has continued to benefit from being a "must-see" attraction among mainland visitors to Hong Kong attracting more than 2 million mainland visitors in 2004-05. Both overseas visitors and locals alike have enjoyed the Park's seasonal events and promotions. For example, The Big Splash Summer event received more than 900 000 visitors in this year, an almost 40% increase compared to the same period of the prior year. In 2004 Ocean Park launched the new education arm: the Ocean Park Academy (the Academy). In the first year under the Academy, more than 50 000 Hong Kong students participated in Ocean Park's in-park and outreach programmes. This builds on the already 380 000 students who have enjoyed learning at Ocean Park over the last 13 years. Ocean Park is an internationally-accredited, animal-conservation organization that is committed to making a difference in the conservation of the natural environment. In 2004-05, through in-park donation boxes, raffles, merchandise sales and corporate sponsorship, Ocean Park was able to donate $3.32 million in support of scientific research that has the mandate of conserving marine mammals and their habitats and ensuring the survival of the giant pandas. 2136 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 23 November 2005 In 2005, Ocean Park received the Hong Kong Caring Company award from the Hong Kong Council of Social Service to recognize the commitment to the local community. In the last year, Ocean Park provided more than 20 000 special welfare admission tickets priced at $20 for volunteers and the underprivileged as well as 100 000 free admission tickets for seniors and 2 588 low-cost student passes. The Park also donated 20 000 complimentary tickets to the underprivileged and volunteers workers, via the Community Chest and the Agency for Volunteer Service, in celebration of reaching visitor numbers of 4 million in 2004-05. In November 2004, Ocean Park welcomed back many old friends as part of the International Disabled Day. For the past 13 years, Ocean Park has opened its gates to close to 4 000 members of our community with disabilities for a special complimentary day out with their families every year. The redevelopment master plan, revealed to the public in March 2005, stays true to Ocean Park's core values of conservation, education and entertainment while firmly establishing Ocean Park as the best marine-based theme park in the world. Most importantly, from the economic analysis the Park has reviewed, the proposed new Ocean Park, if approved, will be financially sustainable and will enhance Hong Kong as a desirable tourist destination with an expected increase in visitors annually. The redeveloped Ocean Park will act as a catalyst for urban regeneration of the Southern District and the development of the Aberdeen area as a tourism node. The redevelopment is expected to bring net quantifiable economic benefits of $40 billion to $48 billion over 40 years. On employment creation, the redevelopment project will directly and indirectly generate around 2 600 to 4 000 additional full-time equivalent jobs in the Hong Kong economy upon the opening of Phase I in 2008-09, rising to around 11 300 to 12 800 in 2021-22. It will complement Hong Kong Disneyland and greatly enhance Hong Kong's attraction as the premier family destination in the region. I am confident of the exciting and promising future that lies ahead for Ocean Park. The Park is generating strong business results as evidenced by improving surpluses; it has positioned itself well in the face of increasing competition and is set to continue to contribute to Hong Kong in terms of education, conservation and increased tourism. Thank you, Madam President. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 23 November 2005 2137 PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Ms Miriam LAU will address the Council on the Report of the Subcommittee on Closed Area (Hong Kong Ministerial Conference of World Trade Organization) Order.
