布萊克浦塔和其他標誌性的旅遊景點正在地方議會接管

英國海濱小鎮布萊克浦（Blackpool）最具標誌性的旅遊景點的管理將由地方議會接管。

The management of some of UK seaside town Blackpool’s most iconic tourist attractions is set to be taken over by the local council.

英國海濱小鎮布萊克浦（Blackpool）最具標誌性的旅遊景點的管理將由地方議會接管。

Blackpool Tower will be handed over to the council’s own tourism company on August 1, having been run by Merlin Entertainments for the past 15 years.

在過去的15年中，布萊克浦塔將於8月1日移交給安理會自己的旅遊公司。

Within the Tower the authority will oversee the Tower Eye, circus, ballroom and Dungeons as well as Madame Tussauds.

在塔中，當局將監督塔眼，馬戲團，宴會廳和地牢以及杜莎夫人。

In a statement the leader of Blackpool Council, Lynn Williams, said: “In 2010, Blackpool Council bought Blackpool Tower, bringing it into public ownership for the first time to safeguard the future of our much-loved iconic landmark while also transforming it into a tourist attraction fit for the 21st century.

布萊克浦委員會的負責人林恩·威廉姆斯（Lynn Williams）在一份聲明中說：“ 2010年，布萊克浦委員會（Blackpool Council）購買了布萊克浦塔（Blackpool Tower），首次將其歸入公有權，以保護我們備受推崇的標誌性地標的未來，同時也將其轉變為21世紀的旅遊勝地。

“Back in 2010, we did not have the skills or knowledge within the town to redevelop the tower into a modern attraction.

“早在2010年，我們就沒有城鎮內的技能或知識來將塔樓重新開發為現代景點。

"Bringing Merlin Entertainments on board was absolutely the right decision and we have enjoyed a long and successful partnership with them which has brought other quality attractions to the resort.”

“將Merlin Entertainments帶入船上絕對是正確的決定，我們與他們建立了長期而成功的合作夥伴關係，這為度假村帶來了其他優質的景點。”

However, Williams said “the time has come to reassess our position,” adding: “The benefits that our amazing attractions bring will be kept in Blackpool.”

但是，威廉姆斯說：“現在已經重新評估了我們的立場，”他補充說：“我們驚人的景點將在布萊克浦帶來的好處。”

Blackpool Tourism was previously known as Blackpool Operating Company. It already operates Sandcastle Waterpark and will also oversee the Showtown Museum.

布萊克浦旅遊以前被稱為布萊克浦運營公司。它已經經營Sandcastle水上樂園，還將監督Showtown博物館。

As part of the change, Merlin and the council have entered a new partnership to allow Madame Tussauds and the Dungeons to continue to operate, with Blackpool Tourism running both attractions under franchise from Merlin.

作為變革的一部分，梅林和安理會已經建立了新的合作夥伴關係，以允許杜莎夫人和地牢繼續運作，布萊克浦旅遊業經營著梅林的專營權。
