Water Sports Industry Loss of Business Information
The Gulf Coast is known for it beautiful white beaches. These beaches draw millions each year. However, the businesses associated with beach vacations, such as water sports retail and rental companies, are facing devastating consequences because of the oil still leaking from the BP oilrig that exploded and sank last month. For the stores that sale and rent jet ski, water skiing equipment, wave runners, and snorkeling equipment, the timing of the oil spill could not be worse. Late spring and summer are huge months for beach vacations. These businesses depend on the travelers during the height of the tourism season to support their businesses year round. BP and Transocean have put these businesses at risk of losing profits and their employees at risk of losing their jobs.
With the danger of oil washing up on the beaches and fishing already being closed in many areas of the Gulf, vacationers are already staying away. Although BP is attempting to stop most of the leaking by placing a dome like machine over the top of the leak, this is not the final solution, and will not stop all of the leaking even if successful.
