The bright spot during the fourth quarter was the re-opening of our Hyderabad Park in January. We are delighted by the trust that our patrons have shown in us as we resumed business after eight months in November 2020, which reinforced our confidence to reopen all parks in a phased manner. During the 4th quarter, in January Parks were functional only from Thursday to Sunday and we slowly increased the number of park open days in February from Wednesday to Sunday and finally with the support of our customers in the month of March we opened all our parks in all days. During the period, we tasted success with many innovative offerings like Women only outing on Women’s Day, Valentine day package for the couple for Parks and Resort, free entry to anyone named Kamala to honour the US VP’s win which gives us tremendous visibility across the world. As a testimony to our excellent hygiene practices, all Wonderla Parks have received the COV-Safe certification by Bureau Veritas India and become the first amusement park in India to be awarded for the same. We wanted to reassure our visitors of safety and hygiene followed at the theme park and this certification is a step ahead in that direction. We look forward to offering the public an opportunity to unwind and relax at Wonderla soon”.
