Moo Deng has begun life streaming at Khao Kheow Open Zoo to entertain her fans around the world. The park expects to generate up to 200 million baht in profits from one million readers in its 2024 fiscal year that ends this month, away from its previous record of more than 12 million baht between September 1 and September 19.
The public’s obsession with the two-month-old girl pygmy hippo has resulted in a 50 % increase in the number of tourists to the park, according to chairman Narongwit Chodchoy on Saturday.
Between Sep 1 and Sep 19, 81, 786 people visited Khao Kheow Open Zoo, where the park made an overall revenue of 12.97 million baht from solution profits. He added that the park anticipates receiving more than one million visitors overall and making more than 200 million baht in revenue for the current fiscal year that is kicking off this month.
Mr. Narongwit predicted that the trend for Moo Deng will attract more foreign tourists to his aquarium, particularly those from other Asian nations like Japan, China, and South Korea.
In contrast, he said the park has just launched a number of 24-hour life flows on zoodiolive .com to help those interested to see its wildlife, including Moo Deng, life. On 44, 000 people watched the channels on Friday evening, said Mr Narongwit.
Visitors to the museum’s grounds are particularly interested in seeing Moo Deng between 745 and 9am, when she typically runs and jumps around while the staff cleans her pen and when the staff feeds her mom Jona, according to Mr. Narongwit.
The park requires visitors who wish to give Moo Deng a visit to queue up and allows each of them to see the little crocodile for five days during these times.
If they want more time, they have to queue afterwards.
Moo Deng has been made a formal invitation to watch the race in Florida for the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in the meantime.
The zoo’s Green Mountain restaurant even sold its first batch of 700 Moo Deng T-shirts for 329 baht.
