You could probably create a 15 minute Cinema Sins-style movie featuring product placements from this movie alone. I'm not sure if I would have wanted my brand to be associated with corporate greed and stupidity though.

One of the characters had mentioned that there were cruise ships coming in the morning. No mention of a ferry to get them off that night.

I guess there must have been a lot of hidden hotel rooms since it is apparently SOP to have 20k people stay overnight.

Not that I'm trying to defend a movie with so many obvious loopholes, but wasn't there a scene where a lot of people were waiting for a ferry with an estimated time of arrival in a few hours? I'm not sure what the capacity of the ferry would be and if there is just a single ferry. (Or maybe, other boats in the vicinity that could reach the site before the cruise ships?) I guess if you're operating a theme park like this on a remote island, with a capacity of 20K+ visitors, there's a lot of incoming and outgoing traffic, so you'd need the infrastructure to transport at least about a quarter of those people on and off this island every day, probably more.

Also, I remember some announcement where everybody was expected to evacuate to some kind of safe place after the "bird cage" lost containment... Not sure what it's supposed to be, but maybe they've got some huge bunker capacity somewhere? Also, it was dark at the end of the movie, aren't people expected to be outside of the park anyway around that time? So, even if this was a normal day of operation, people would not be in the place where the final showdown was supposed to happen? So, people probably were distributed between already evacuated, ferry landing and awaiting evacuation, some bunker somewhere, hotel, being eaten already or screaming and aimlessly running around in the jungle?

If you have 20K people stay every night and you'd go for about 2,5 people per room, you'd need about 8K hotel rooms. In a few panoramic shots you can see quite a big hotel complex, I'm not sure if it fits so many rooms or if there are other hospitality complexes around the island. According to the resort website, the Hilton Isla Nubar does have 5K rooms though.
