Very recently, my wife, who is from Gabon, and I spent 3 nights there indoors in a fabulous villa as a Valentine's Day present from the children to us. It really felt like we were in the middle of the tropics. One of the best, maybe even the best short holiday we've ever had. No...for sure! 😃
Not quite accurate, they started building a cargo zeppelin, but it never was completed. Opinions vary on why that was. The engineering world said that it was a lack of entrepreneurship and taking a risk in the financial world, while the financial world said it was due to bad engineering and planning and saw no future in that project. I'd rather have seen zeppelins flying again than have another theme park, but it is as it is now.
This idea is not new. Basically, this idea came from the Netherlands in the 1960s to bring the tropics into the country with Center Park instead of getting on a plane. And of course, the whole thing isn't cheap - everything has to be maintained. You can't switch the plants to winter ❄️. Rather, writer needs to be heated.
