Vancouver Aquarium Joins Ocean Park’s World Attraction Fun Deals Partnership Program

(Hong Kong - 22 June 2010)  Ocean Park welcomes Vancouver Aquarium to become the first Canadian partner in joining the World Attraction Fun Deals program. From now till May 2011, guests visiting Ocean Park or Vancouver Aquarium can enjoy a 10% reciprocal admission discount at the partnering theme park by presentation of their admission ticket stubs. In addition, annual pass holders of both parks can enjoy an enhanced benefit of up to 15% admission discount with a maximum purchase of 4 admission tickets per day.

Ocean Park’s partnership with Vancouver Aquarium reinforces the special relationship Hong Kong has with the Canadian city given its diverse and international population demographics. “We are honored to be working with Vancouver Aquarium on this exciting collaboration,” says Mr. Paul Pei, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing of Ocean Park Hong Kong. “Many people in Vancouver are already quite familiar with Ocean Park and some of them have developed fond memories and nostalgic affections for the Park over the years. We hope that this collaboration will give them a reason to revisit, and for those who have not been to our Park yet, a chance to create new and unique memories next time they are in Hong Kong.“

Paul continues, “This is an invaluable opportunity for us to extend our footprint in the Canadian market, especially as we have just opened a new attraction, Chinese Sturgeon Aquarium – Yangtze Exploration, last week. We are also expecting to launch our Summer Splash celebrations on July 1 and unveil our next milestone in the Master Redevelopment Plan, Aqua City, towards the end of this year. Through this partnership, we hope to allow our visitors and annual pass holders to enjoy an extended array of theme park experiences both locally or internationally.”

As of now, Ocean Park currently partners with 17 theme parks, zoos and aquariums in Asia and other parts of the world through this reciprocal program. Other recent additions to the “Fun Deals” family include Korea’s Samsung Everland Resort, San Francisco’s Aquarium of the Bay, Beijing Happy Valley and Taichung’s Yamay Theme Park.
