Background of the brand

Ocean Park was officially opened in January 1977, situated on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, is Hong Kong 's premier educational theme park. The current park covers more than 870,000 square meters of land and features a diverse selection of world-class marine attractions, thrill rides and shows divided between three areas: Lowland, Headland and Tai Shue Wan

The Lowland features Ocean Park 's latest themed-area, the Amazing Asian Animals – an educational and highly entertaining collection of exhibits bringing together some of Asia 's rarest animal. A viewing pavilion of hundreds of shimmering goldfish, including some of the latest and rarest species, can be found at Goldfish Treasures. For the bird watchers, the Panda Village offers a great opportunity to spot Ocean Park 's avian friends high above the trees, as well as visit some delightful Asian Small-clawed Otters. Young and old guests alike will delight in the starring attraction at the SkyFair – a helium balloon 22 metres in diameter that will raise guests 100 metres into the air. The nearby Dolphin University, which also encompasses Ocean Park 's dolphin breeding centre, also offers an excellent opportunity for guests, particularly the young and the young at heart, to learn more about the hidden lives of dolphins, as well as the efforts underway to conserve these intelligent marine mammals.

The Headland is home to Ocean Park 's many

    Since the documentary “Blackfish” aired earlier this year Seaworld Inc. has faced a public perception nightmare as its market shares and park attendance has declined to record lows. At this point Seaworld Inc. may be at the point of no return with its current business model and the only saving grace may be to re-brand entirely in order to remain open. Immediately following the airing of the documentary, Seaworld Inc. went on the defensive about its conservation efforts and how their work benefits aquatic wildlife as a whole. Despite this effort, which is fairly noticeable once you visit the company webpage and social media outlets, Seaworld Inc. is still in financial disdain. Listed below are my ideas as to how Seaworld can pull away from the current negative image and win back the general public.…

    My last source seemed to sum up strangely well, The article from The New Orleans CityBusiness newspaper. This article tells seaworld's opinion a little after the court ruling, releasing new information about their updates on the parks. Seaworld CEO Joel Manby, even noted the change in the company over all, saying that they were evolving with the new expansion on the orca exhibit that has a “conservative message”. Profits declined on the orca shows after the release of the documentary Blackfish, and after the very public court case between the california coastline commission, and the company. The conservative and anti abuse outlook that most of the public has seaworld had to change to avoid bankruptcy and the fall of the company. So the one hundred million dollar expansion is going to giving seaworld visitors a natural message, even though Seaworld was unhappy about the court ruling. The CEO said, “company had no other choice because the ruling set a "bad precedent" for not only SeaWorld but all zoos, aquariums and other…

    Quoted from Peta.org “Dolphins from Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida were unable to open their eyes and their skin started peeling off as the chemicals in the water had unknown side effects.” The tanks are so limited that they spend more than half of their times above water, causing them to obtain sunburns, which the performers cover with black zinc so the viewers can not see the sun burn on the orcas backs. Marine parks put on shows showing people dolphins who can hug their trainers and whales who can be trained to kiss a trainer. This is teaching people unrealistic expectations about the animals and humans relationships. This leads to incidents like the selfie taking tourists that passed around a baby dolphin like a toy for photos, and ended up killing the helpless creature in the progress.…

    Park ch 10 As child growing up some of the frightful memories include a visit to the dentist; an evil man with scary drill whose solve purpose is to hurt you or the first day in elementary school you finally leave all behind the cozy classrooms and nap times of kindergarten and enter the big leagues. All of these are considered a cakewalk compared to standardize testing. Since the start of elementary school students in the United States are taught to test. In many instances students are held back or placed in remedial classes because of lower grades. But many don’t realize that some students are not great at testing taking and because of the lower grades some educators believe that these students are lower achievers. This leads to lower self-esteem and encourage students to drop out in later years. Also students are forced to memorize information merely as facts without sparking their creativity or enhancing their knowledge.…
