The non-profit organization Ocean Park Corporation (OPC), which promotes species conservation of various animal species and is responsible for the operation of Hong Kong Island-based theme park resort Ocean Park Hong Kong, has a new chairman: as of 1st July, Paulo Pong Kin-yee (right), who has been part of the board of directors since 2019 and has served as deputy chairman since 2020, will take over as new chairman of the board of directors. He will thus succeed Lau Ming-wai. As founder of wine company Altaya Group, Paulo Pong Kin-yee brings extensive experience in F&B, retail, international trade, and investment to the corporation. Furthermore, Stephen Wong See-yuen (left) was appointed new deputy chairman of the board of directors. The appointments were made by the Hong Kong government.
Paulo Pong Kin-yee on this new position: “Ocean Park is turning to a new exciting chapter of growth and innovation. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ming-wai for his stewardship during a challenging period. Over the course of his leadership in the past two years, OPC has redefined its strategic focus, business model and guest experience, and launched the long-awaited Water World Ocean Park smoothly despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I look forward to working with Stephen, the Board and the entire Ocean Park team to build on Ming-wai’s achievements and chart our path forward for the coming years.”
