España – Hard Rock tiene la visión 2020 de abrir camino en España
By Phil - 8 de abril de 2019
The construction of the first phase of the Hard Rock project in Vila Seca and Salou could be underway in just over a year.
The first phase of the Hard Rock Entertainment World complex in Vila-Seca and Salou could begin construction in May 2020, just two years after it was given the green light by the Government of Catalonia. The first phase of the project will include the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Operators involved in the project provided the deadline in a meeting with the members of the Tourist and Recreation Complex (CRT). The new park, which will take over from BCN World, will be one of the largest leisure complexes in Europe once it is complete.
The Hard Rock project will start with a first phase costing around €665m which includes a thousand room hotel, a casino, a shopping avenue as well as leisure and entertainment facilities. In addition, it is expected that, in parallel with the construction work, the land and the necessary services will be adapted for purpose. The first phase will include the construction of the hotel in the shape of the iconic Hard Rock guitar along with the only casino permitted on the complex which will encompass an area of up to 10,000 square meters.
En mayo de 2018 la Generalitat de Cataluña declaró a través de su Boletín Oficial que había dado permiso a Hard Rock Entertainment World para construir un casino y complejo de ocio en Vila-Seca y Salou. El casino se llamará Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tarragona, España. El complejo Hard Rock Entertainment World incluirá dos hoteles con más de mil habitaciones, una gran zona comercial, además de instalaciones de entretenimiento y un casino. El casino podría tener hasta 1,200 máquinas tragamonedas y 100 juegos de mesa, lo que lo convertiría en uno de los casinos más grandes de Europa. Según se informa, la empresa planea invertir hasta 2 millones de euros en este plan.
The project will consist of a unique combination of hotels and convention areas, with world-class entertainment, dining and shopping. The construction of the CRT will generate between 9,000 and 13,000 direct jobs during its construction, which will be phased in over a period of around six years according to a study released by the Faculty of Geography and Tourism at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (The public university of Tarragona) in March 2017. The study argues that, once the CRT is running at full capacity, it will generate between €3,900 and €5,400m per year in the Camp de Tarragona region of Catalonia. The study also found that the addition of the new complex could add as many as 3 to 5m visitors to the area regardless of whether they stay overnight. These visitors could spend between €850m and €1,145m a year.
