DESARU Coast's Adventure Waterpark is all set to welcome guests back tomorrow.
As part of its reopening, Adventure Waterpark is offering Malaysians with a valid Mykad special lowered rates as part of its appreciation programme, at RM59 for adults and RM39 for children and senior citizens, with a 'Buy One, Free One' admission.
Other non-Malaysian guests will enjoy discounts of more than 50% for regular admission passes at RM75 for an adult pass (normal price: RM151) and RM49 for children between 3 and 11 years of age and seniors aged 60 and above (normal price: RM113).
To redeem the discounted passes, visitors can make a booking online at www.desarucoast.com and present their ID at the park's front entrance on the day of their visit.
General manager Shahrul Nizar Ahmad said the waterpark will put into effect strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guidelines for all visitors and employees, to ensure everyone's safety and wellbeing which is in line with the new normal,.
"We are leaving no stone unturned as the safe enjoyment of our facilities and attractions at Adventure Waterpark is our utmost concern," Shahrul reiterated.
Among the security measures set in place, which are aligned to regulations by Malaysia's National Security Council (NSC), are stringent entry protocol for visitors while social distancing regulations will also be enforced.
The maximum daily capacity of the park will be reduced to 1,500 people, down from the usual 5,000, to facilitate the enforcement of social distancing.
Stringent emergency protocols will also be put into effect, while park ambassadors will be situated around the park to assist guests.
Meanwhile, the water quality and chlorine levels at all the park's attractions will be strictly maintained, with tests carried out every two hours.
All employees and visitors will be encouraged to wear face masks when not in the water. To facilitate this, face masks will be sold at strategic spots throughout the park.
Other measures which have been put into place include the sanitisation of the park's attractions and facilities at periodic intervals; controlled capacity and sanitisation of showers and lockers; the stringent guidelines for handling and serving of food and beverage; and temperature checks for all employees and visitors.
Adventure Waterpark will also encourage guests to use electronic payments and e-wallets when making purchases within the park.
The reopening of Adventure Waterpark also comes as Malaysia is expecting domestic tourism activity to grow by 30% over the next six months to a year under the post Movement Control Order (MCO), as local tourists have been seen as being more confident in travelling domestically, following the lifting of restrictions by the government.
The Adventure Waterpark, one of the biggest waterparks in the world, features a unique mix of more than 20 wet and dry rides, slides and attractions, sprawled over an area of 25 acres.
