HONG KONG (Xinhua): The Hong Kong government said on Thursday (May 21) that it planned to reposition Ocean Park to highlight its core strengths on conservation and education as well as its natural environment as a seaside resort.

After failing again to decide whether to approve the government's proposed urgent bailout of over HK$54 billion (around US$697 million) to keep the 43-year-old theme park afloat over next 12 months, the HKSAR Legislative Council (LegCo) Finance Committee will hold a third meeting on Friday to continue discussions on the issue.
