Murcia presents the Paramount Park project in Fitur

Visitors have been able to go on a virtual journey of the proposed park

Regional minister for tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, pronounced himself “moderately optimistic” after the trade days of the Fitur tourism fair in Madrid, saying that he hoped 2014 would be a positive year for tourism. He said regional representatives had undertaken around 90 “business meetings” with trade contacts on a stand which was busy throughout the “professional” days of the fair when tour operators and travel professionals carry out their research.

Sr Cruz was on the stand to greet Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel Borrego, who visited the Murcian stand today to attend the presentation of the Paramount Theme Park Project in Alhama de Murcia, a display which Sr Cruz said had been given a “positive  reception “ by visitors to the show, “the project starting to be received with the enthusiasm and certainty that it is going to become an important element of the economic transformation of the Region of Murcia, “ he said.  

Visitors to the show have been able to travel on a 3D virtual journey around the projected park, as well as look at the images, models and videos of the projected installations.

Prior to the fair, Sr Cruz stated the importance of the Paramount project being given centre stage on the regional stand, promoting the attraction before construction even begins, establishing it firmly in the minds of trade professionals and the public as a place to visit in the future.

The trade days of the fair are now over, and the event is open to the general public for the weekend.
