“2008 MERITORIOUS WEBSITES”
(Hong Kong – 9 March 2009) In a public poll involving over 150,000 voters in Hong Kong, Ocean Park’s website was recognised as one of Hong Kong’s top ten “2008 Meritorious Websites”. The “2008 Meritorious Website Contest” was jointly organised by the Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA), the Education Bureau, the Committee on Home-School Co-operation, the Hong Kong Internet Service Providers Association and Radio Television Hong Kong, to select Hong Kong’s most healthy websites. Over 150,000 people cast their votes to choose the top 10, from among 41 finalists.
As Hong Kong’s people’s Park, Ocean Park is founded on a mandate to connect its guests with nature by creating memorable experiences that combine entertainment, education and conservation. Ocean Park’s website is also a tool to take the Park to the people and to reach out to them, with compelling images and informative narratives about the Park’s animal ambassadors. Netizens can also participate in innovative and interactive online activities that are regularly launched to coincide with the Park’s special events.
