The concern has been in order for tourism professionals in Antibes since the closure of the Marineland animal park. Five months after its final closure, the repercussions on tourism are already there.
Since the closure of Marineland, a business, which opened at the same time as the animal park over 50 years ago, has seen its turnover decrease by 40 %.
“”Before there were people but now it’s sad, very sad”Lands Gisèle Muratori, manager of the Brague bazaar. With 400,000 visitors per year, Marineland was the gondola head in the East district of Antibes, today the faithful of the beach who adjoin the park see the difference.“There are fewer tourists, in my building where there are a lot of airbnb, the owners have trouble renting,,“Indicates a resident of antibes.
In the campsites where holidaymakers stayed who came to enjoy the shows of marine animals, the reservations for the summer are rather there but the pre-season was complicated. “” “Small families who come from four or five people, who come on purpose for this park, I had before, necessarily this year, I have not been, and I will no longer have them”Confides Brice Douliot, manager of the Embruns campsite.
