Even though the theme parks are open, SeaWorld Orlando is facing financial burdens brought upon by the global pandemic. SeaWorld Entertainment is laying off many furloughed employees at both their theme parks and corporate offices.
This latest round of layoffs comes as the company tried to recover from revenue and attendance losses. In a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing, SeaWorld announced their layoff decision. They’re changing the status of some park and corporate employees due to the “unforeseeable impacts” the COVID-19 pandemic has had on its business.
SeaWorld Orlando gave the following statement regarding layoffs to Spectrum News:
“We deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication of our Ambassadors to our company’s shared mission, values, and goals. Over our 60-year history, our parks have inspired millions of guests to love, protect and care for our planet’s animals and their habitats. We are sorry to have to part ways with any team members in this difficult moment, but their abiding commitment to our guests, fellow Ambassadors and animals is recognized and made a lasting impact.”
Furthermore, SeaWorld shows a $131 million loss for the second quarter since attendance fell 96%. The entertainment company is hoping to rebound and recover in the months to come.
