the Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen is hard hit by the coronaudbruddet and therefore attaches to a big round of layoffs.
the Tivoli will fire up to 440 people – including permanent and seasonal workers. This corresponds to around 20 percent of the employees. It informs the company in a communication.
the Tivoli expect that 2020 may end up with a deficit up to 100 million crowns, but stresses that it is associated with great uncertainty.
the Tivoli was closed two months under coronanedlukningen and opened only on Monday this week, but without the ability to hold large concerts and with a capacity for fewer guests in the rides and at restaurants.
There is expected significantly fewer guests than usual – also because tourists from the majority of the world are not allowed to travel to Denmark.
the Number of guests are expected not to be normalized for several years.
Therefore you have to cut to, it sounds from the chairman of the board Tom Knutzen.
– the Situation is serious for the Tivoli. We are looking into a 2020, where the Tivoli gæstetal and revenue are strongly influenced by, that there will be far fewer foreign tourists to Copenhagen because of grænselukningen and restrictions for accommodation in the Capital.
– This looks to also reach into the next few years. Therefore, it is necessary for Tivoli to make changes in the organization in order to reduce labor costs and thus restore a sustainable business, he says in the message.
the Tivoli will now engage in a dialogue with the staff unions and expect that the redundancies will take place later in June.
the Tivoli reports that the company’s management does not have any further comments to fyringsrunden.
