Tivoli, 22 September 2009
Tivoli publishes its number of visitors after each season and on publication of the annual report and interim reports.
The summer season 2009 ran from 8 April to 20 September. In addition, there were two festivals of light (dress rehearsals) on 6 and 7 April and the Voice Day on 21 September; 169 days in total. The summer season 2008 lasted 161 days, including festivals of light and the Voice Day.
Among other things, the season offered 1 new, spectacular ride: the Vertigo, 21 Friday Rock concerts, 4 Danish Pop Mondays, 53 concerts in the Concert Hall, guest performances of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Swineherd at the Pantomime Theatre, and a series of other activities and attractions for Tivoli's visitors.
| Number of visitors | 2008 | 2009 |
|---|---|---|
| Summer season | 2,809,000 | 2,810,000 |
"In the light of the economic crisis, we are very satisfied with a number of visitors in the same range as last year. We chose to maintain a high investment level, including a new ride, despite the gloomy outlook, and we were rewarded by our visitors who turned out in force, especially during the second half of the summer season. We thus maintain our economic expectations for the year with expected profit before tax of DKK 30 to 40 million", says Lars Liebst.
"As feared from the beginning of the season, there has been a lack of tourists visiting Tivoli due to a long-term decline in the Danish tourist trade that was aggravated by the current crisis. Combined with the weak Swedish exchange rate, this meant fewer foreign visitors, especially from Sweden".
Tivoli's number of visitors will be published next on 19 October 2009, including the visitor figures for Halloween in Tivoli.
