PortAventura World, the entertainment resort in Catalonia, Spain, has announced it is gearing up to reopen on July 8.
The theme park has introduced a leisure and holiday program which enables guests to go on the park’s rides, enjoy dining on the diverse range of cuisine at the site, and stay at the different themed hotels, all within a safe environment.
The site has introduced the social distancing, safety and hygiene measures required by the authorities, which have been certified by external auditors.
These measures include temperature checks being carried out at the entrance to the parks and the hotels. The use of face masks will be mandatory throughout the resort. The continuous disinfecting and cleaning of rides and contact points will also be put in place.
Visitor numbers are being reduced from 30% of the total capacity. A new flow system is being implemented to avoid large groups from gatherings and to keep direct contact to a minimum while guaranteeing the 1.5m distancing between visitors.
There will be new signage and information displays erected throughout the park to keep guests well informed. Cashless payment options will be available to help avoid physical contact.
Arturo Mas-Sardá, chairman of PortAventura World’s board of directors, commented: “For 25 years, our purpose has been to create unique experiences that can be enjoyed and, above all, shared with family and friends.
“PortAventura World is an exceptional place due to its location in a Mediterranean enclave; its unique offering includes a range of leisure options for every type of traveler; the quality and excellence of its services; and its commitment to people, surrounding areas and society.
“We would like to thank the healthcare professionals for their dedication and hard work and to the national security forces for keeping us safe during this health crisis. Furthermore, our thanks also goes to the PortAventura World team for their commitment,” Mas-Sardá added.
