Ocean Park's special offer applauded

*

The Celebrations Co-ordination Office has hailed Ocean Park's special offer to allow 10,000 underprivileged families and 10,000 senior citizens to visit the park free from July to November.

 

The move is in support of the Government's Celebrations for All project, a socially-inclusive programme supported by the Lotteries Fund that helps the underprivileged to participate in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

 

The Home Affairs Department will work with non-governmental organisations to identify and gather suitable visitors for Ocean Park. Free transportation and meals will be arranged for them, and they will also have the opportunity to see Hong Kong's two new pandas, Le Le and Ying Ying.
