PortAventura supera los 3,2 millones de visitantes de la temporada anterior
PortAventura ha superado esta temporada, que acabó ayer, los 3,2 millones de visitantes que tuvo la pasada temporada, han informado a Efe fuentes de este parque temático de la Costa Dorada.
A falta de datos definitivos, y tras cerrar ayer la temporada 2011, estas fuentes han confirmado que, a pesar de la crisis, la cifra de visitantes ha sido "muy superior" a la del año anterior.
"Se superará la cifra del año anterior bastante considerablemente", han añadido estas fuentes, que han especificado que el perfil del visitante corresponde en una tercera parte a turistas catalanes, en otra tercera parte a visitantes procedentes del resto de España y el resto a visitantes internacionales, en concreto de Francia, Gran Bretaña y, en tercer lugar y con un gran aumento, de Rusia.
Además, y hasta el 30 de marzo, cuando comenzará la temporada del 2012, PortAventura proseguirá con nuevas inversiones y proyectos como la nueva montaña rusa, dedicada al público familiar, que se inaugurará la próxima primavera y supondrá una inversión de 25 millones.
La temática de esta atracción girará alrededor del Himalaya y consistirá en un reto de aventura, con referencias a las leyendas de esta cordillera asiática.
Asimismo, se construirá un aparcamiento para autocaravanas, lo que permitirá a las personas que hacen ruta pasar la noche en PortAventura y comprar una entrada combinada para disfrutar del parque y hacer noche en el aparcamiento.
Igualmente, se pondrá en marcha una escuela de conducción, una atracción donde los niños podrán aprender nociones de seguridad vial y después ponerlas en práctica en un circuito con coches a su medida.
Finalmente, PortAventura procederá a remodelar las 500 habitaciones del hotel PortAventura, que se modernizarán con un criterio de polivalencia apto tanto para el público de vacaciones como para el de negocios
PortAventura visitors up on last season.
PortAventura has finished this season, which ended yesterday, with 3.2 million visitors for the season, for the Costa Dorada theme park.
In the absence of definitive data, and after closing the 2011 season yesterday, sources have confirmed that, despite the crisis, the number of visitors has been "very superior" to the previous year.
The visitor count exceeds the previous year considerably with a third of visitors coming from Catalunya, one third from the rest of Spain and the other third made up from British, French and Dutch with the largest increase being from Russia
Furthermore, until 30 March when the 2012 season begins, PortAventura continue with new investments and projects like the new roller coaster, dedicated to the family audience, with the highest drop in the world a whopping 300ft which will open next spring and will involve an investment of 25 million.
The subject of this ride is based on the Himalayas and will consist of a challenging adventure, with references to the legends of this mountain range in Asia.
Also being built is a camper parking area, which will allow people to spend the night at PortAventura and buy a combined ticket to enjoy the park and spend the night in the parking area.
Also being developed is a driving school, an attraction where children can learn road safety concepts and then implement them on their own circuit car.
Finally, PortAventura continued to remodel the 500-room Hotel PortAventura, which will be revamped with a versatile approach suitable for both the public holiday or for business.
