Everland’s Caribbean Bay and other water parks across the country have recently opened their pools and slides in the summer heat, but are suffering a sharp drop in visitors due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, company officials said Thursday.  (…….)

A Caribbean Bay official said the water park has had about 100 to 400 visitors a day since its opening this year. The figure nosedived compared to 10,000 tallied in early June last year.

“Last year, the limit on the number of daily visitors we set was 20,000. This year, we set the limit at 1,200 amid the pandemic, but the daily figure is even falling far short of this limit,” the official said.
