The gains in Spain
Article Abstract:
The leisure industry in Spain is expanding rapidly, but the boom cannot last for long, because geographical locations are limited to the four main population areas. The success of the Port Aventura theme park has generated much interest in theme park development. Port Aventura is Europe's second most popular theme park, and it brings more than 90 million pounds sterling into the local economy. A second major theme park will open in Seville in Jul 1997. Science centres, museums, aquariums, cinemas and restaurants are also enjoying a boom.
