Catalonia’s regional government unveiled plans for a $6 billion entertainment and tourism complex backed by the La Caixa banking group and property developer Enrique Banuelos.
The 1.5 million square-meter (4.92 million square feet) complex with 12 hotels, dubbed “Barcelona World” will be built near Tarragona on land adjacent to the Port Aventura theme park, said a Catalan regional government official, who asked not to be named in line with its policy, in a phone interview. The project based around six different complexes inspired by countries including the U.S., China, Brazil and Russia, will generate 20,000 jobs, the official said.
