Liseberg‘s Ambition is to Rebuild Oceana

(eap) It is great news that the Board of Directors of Gothenburg‘s Liseberg theme park announced today. The process for the reconstruction of Oceana is being initiated. This decision was made by the Liseberg Board of Directors during a specially convened meeting with the crisis management team, which had come together to discuss the state of affairs following the devastating fire at Oceana. The board once again emphasised its deep sorrow for the loss of the employee who died in the accident.

The board also wants to take the opportunity to highlight the great effort of the emergency service and the cooperation with the other stakeholders of the Oceana project since the fire broke out on Monday. ”We have felt tremendous support from everyone involved. The love that the people of Gothenburg and all of Sweden have shown for the project and Liseberg during this difficult time has been invaluable,“ says Kurt Eliasson, Chairman of the Board. At the same time, Liseberg‘s board must look forward. Regarding the future of Oceana, the consensus was complete. The ambition is for Oceana to be rebuilt. ”The fire was devastating, but it will not stop the development of the destination Liseberg. Liseberg is an important part of Gothenburg‘s identity, and this project is a crucial component in the recovery of the West Swedish tourism industry. Therefore, the board has unanimously decided to instruct Liseberg‘s management to investigate and start planning for how a reconstruction can take place,“ stated Kurt Eliasson. ■
