Just a thought about feasibility studies in general. In order to be
useful they have to be well designed and the person,firm, enity who does
them well qualified. Too often, a board will simply hire a firm of
bookkeepers, like Anderson consulting, who don't have a clue about
cultural attractions and the result is some sort of boiler plate report
with no relationship to reality. The relatively new Florida Aquarium is a
case in point. Nice building, first class staff and sinking faster than a
lead anchor. Anyone who had spend six months in a tourist attraction
could have predicted its failure. The consulting firm that was hired for
study and said it could be successful is now claiming faulty data!
