The Hard Rock project is the great obstacle to achieving the support of the commons for the Government Budget in 2024. The commons insist on their request to paralyze the Hard Rock entertainment macroproject, which It was presented in 2012 as ‘BCN WORLD’ and they sold it as the great tourist investment for Tarragona.

The Minister of Economy at the time promoted it as a macro project that was not promoted by the gaming industry, but by tourism. An injection of 2,000 million euros that would create 2,000 jobs with casinos, hotels and concert halls.

The Vila-Seca City Council insists on its relevance for the area. The mayor, Pere Segura, has assured that the objective is to open 12 months a year “involving new leisure activities and shopping that enriches the tourist destination.

The place where Its construction was planned, it is located between Salou and Vila-Seca, next to the Port Aventura amusement park. However, its detractors have delayed the start-up, among other issues, by not giving the green light to the Budgets that allow its construction.

Against this macroproject is the ‘Aturem Platform’, from where they claim that They do not want the last green spaces to be destroyed of the area nor “a public health problem with the largest casino in Europe.

There is also no consensus among the area’s own residents. While some believe that it would promote tourism, others do not welcome the call to play, which is why it remains paralyzed for the moment.
