That is what I was thinking about, but as a backstory I was thinking that it was created to help citizens escape the Rapture's atmosphere and cure any home sickness of the surface. And something can happen like citizens started to cling to the resort too much and in fear of people leaving Rapture, Ryan locks down the location trapping anyone who were inside or sent them to Persephone.
