Article Abstract:
Being public makes a company much more accountable, according to Parc Asterix General Manager Olivier de Bosredon. Parc Asterix lauched its shares on the Second Market of the stock exchange in Paris, France, on Oct 24, 1997. It is strongly aware that difficulties could have a negative impact on its share value, so is placing even more emphasis on safety, security and technical issues. It has opened a new attraction each year, and in 1997 had 1.9 million visitors. It has tried to avoid making high entrance charges, and believes that visitor numbers could reach 3 million.
