HK theme parks to raise ticket prices

The price of entry to Hong Kong’s two theme parks appears set to rise this year with Ocean Park imposing a 12 percent increase and Hong Kong Disneyland changing its prices for the first time since it opened in 2005.

The news comes just a week after park chairman Allan Zeman said the facility had no immediate plans to raise ticket prices to pay for the construction of new attractions.He said he understood the new pricing could be a burden on the community but the park needed to find ways to meet rising operational costs and repay loans.

A daytime ticket for Ocean Park will increase on 1 September from the HKD250 (USD32) to HKD280 (USD36)  per adult, and for children aged 3 to 11 from HKD125 to HKD140.
