No Whales In Captivity
May 19, 2020
Only two months after closing the Vancouver Aquarium's doors due to Covid-19, the new CEO Gustavsson is still pushing for a government bailout, despite planning to re-open by June 6th.
Both concepts are absurd! How long can the Aquarium remain afloat without the 65 percent of ticket gross sales that usually come from tourists? Even with a taxpayers-funded government bailout, "the aquarium has a dismal financial forecast."
“I actually don’t count on us to make any income or any cash in any respect this yr. We are going to very possible run the aquarium on a deficit,” mentioned Gustavsson. Which means it might want an inflow of money from governments or donors to remain afloat.
That's crazy! But that's the Vancouver Aquarium for you...
