Article Abstract:
Tussauds Group has invested 300 million pounds sterling in its new Port Aventura theme park in Spain, to which it hopes to attract large numbers of visitors, according to Ray Barratt, executive director of the group and managing director of the park. The park will be different from those operated by the group in the UK, and may take some time to become popular, as theme parks are not yet well known in Spain. It has five themed exotic lands, each of which is of the highest possible quality.
