          ANNUAL REVIEW & SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
        
        
          PortAventura
        
        
          is continuing to strengthen its position in the
        
        
          premium tourism segment by increasing the international
        
        
          image and branding of the park. In the first quarter of 2014,
        
        
          PortAventura reached a licensing agreement with Ferrari to
        
        
          establish “Ferrari Land”, a new theme park dedicated to the
        
        
          global brand of Ferrari within the PortAventura destination
        
        
          resort. The new branded site will be the sole Ferrari theme park
        
        
          in Europe and is expected to open during 2016. Ferrari Land will
        
        
          be built on a total surface area of 75,000 square meters and
        
        
          benefit from several rides (including the highest and fastest
        
        
          vertical accelerator in Europe), a new premium hotel with 250
        
        
          rooms and 5 star service, restaurants, large simulation areas for
        
        
          car racing and shops. During the summer of 2014 the Cirque du
        
        
          Soleil’s Kooza show was inaugurated at PortAventura.
        
        
          Since the successful debut, the company has decided to renew
        
        
          the agreement for the next five years with Cirque du Soleil and
        
        
          will now benefit from Cirque du Soleil shows in Spain over the
        
        
          summer months.
