Tourism minister Rosanna Law also says HK$121 million has been secured from Jockey Club Charities Trust to upgrade panda enclosure
“Panda fever” has translated into a significant boost in business for Hong Kong’s Ocean Park, with the debut of several new bears leading to a 19 per cent surge in attendance year on year since their debut, according to the city’s tourism minister.
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui also said in a written reply on Wednesday to lawmakers’ questions that an additional HK$121 million (US$15.4 million) had been secured from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to upgrade the pandas’ enclosures.
The move would help solidify Hong Kong’s status as a premier panda tourism destination, she added.
