Ocean Park, Hong Kong's biggest family-friendly theme park, has partnered with The Sandbox, a decentralized virtual world powered by Animoca Brands, to develop a digital playground in Sandbox's metaverse.

Ocean Park has a heritage of delivering memorable family vacations. Since its opening in 1977, it has developed into a world-class attraction that combines education and conservation with entertainment.

The Sandbox is a decentralized virtual world created by Animoca Brands. It has been attracting the interest of real estate investors due to its numerous brand partners, such as Adidas, The Walking Dead, and Atari. With more than 40 million registrations on mobile, The Sandbox is already the world's most popular virtual world.

Sebastien Borget, the COO of The Sandbox, is pleased to welcome Ocean Park to the metaverse. Through this partnership, The Sandbox and Ocean Park will work together to explore how entertainment can be used to engage and reward visitors from all around the world.

"We are thrilled to welcome Ocean Park to The Sandbox metaverse. As one of Asia's most dynamic leisure and resort destinations, Ocean Park also plays an iconic role in Hong Kong's cultural and entertainment landscape." Borget said.

Ocean Park's management team is focused on developing a unique product and experience for the spectators in The Sandbox. They are also planning on introducing new user-generated content in the future.

As the actual Park's transformation unfolds, Ocean Park plans to expand its offerings by adding new attractions such as dining and entertainment.

"As Ocean Park celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2022, the Park is transforming itself in many innovative ways," said Chief Executive of Ocean Park, Ivan Wong.

"Not only are we revamping the Park into brand-new retail, dining and entertainment, wellness and adventure zones, but we are also heading into the metaverse to reimagine the way we engage consumers, the way they connect with one another, and their adventures at Ocean Park," Wong continued.

Ocean Park is also a prominent player in the Hong Kong social and entertainment scene. Their goal is to help develop the local and international tourist markets through the use of various forms of entertainment. Ocean Park might even imply play-to-acquire NFTs in its collaboration with The Sandbox.

Ocean Park's partnership with The Sandbox is a strategic move for the company and its brand. Through this partnership, the Park will explore new ways of delivering experiences and products.

"We are confident that our fans and the NFT community will welcome the opportunity to explore Ocean Park in a whole new dimension while creating and sharing their user-generated content on our platform," concluded Wong.
