All the attention

When I completed Dubai Dolphinarium I had no idea about the attention that would be drawn to me. After completing the project in May we opened our doors on the 22nd with a spectacular opening ceremony.

Four years earlier when we launched our project together with Dubai Municipality we found out how just a few international and local activists caused a local media frenzy as the news papers are always on the look out for the new thing.

After opening I was expecting more of the same. To my pleasant surprise it was just the opposite. In a way most people were so enchanted by having dolphins available to see that almost all of the media was clammering to give interviews and learn more about our facility especially if it meant getting to see the dolphins themselves.

I think this is true with all projects suffering opposition. If they are concepts only then opposition is strong because there is nothing to see. If the projects are realized then the opposition is drowned out by throngs of people, even the opposition, waiting to get a chance to see and experience them.
