With govt mooting indoor, man-made beach for ne Lantau (and not explaining how this might be sustainable), just done a bit of searching on net, and found re indoor beach in Japan. Ocean Dome… is an article in the Ecologist, focuses on the unreality of the beach.
Also an April 2004 Business Week article on Ocean Dome’s financial troubles – part of resort that cost US$1.5 billion; by 2001 had US$3 billion in debts, and rescue efforts proving difficult: Rescuing this Japanese resort won’t be a picnic Seems about as sustainable as Cyberport – no wonder our govt suggested it.
