Take the tour ×  The tourist attraction buildings have an hourly
expense like other special buildings, so I know their baseline
cost. But they also have a profit associated with them, so I'm
wondering if this generates (or takes) money from the city
coffers.  In this example, the Leaning Tower of Pisa costs
§7,320/day (§305/hr) outright. Does the daily loss bring that
number to §12,836?  enter image description here  share|improve

accepted  The expenses from your tourist attractions come
directly from your city coffers. No matter what kind of business
your attraction does, you are being charged (in this case)
$305/hr for having it. It operates just like a park would in
that sense...  However, any revenue brought in by the attraction
is added directly to your budget as well. If you exceed your
break even point, this will show on your budget view balance
sheet as a net gain. This item on the balance sheet is labeled
as "city specialization"  The "Profit"
