PortAventura Business & Events

What PortAventura Business & Events does

PortAventura Business & Events is the corporate events division of PortAventura World, a vertically integrated resort on the Costa Dorada in Vila-seca, Tarragona, Spain. The division sells venue and event management services to enterprise clients, agencies, and sports federations, anchored by the PortAventura Convention Centre (20,000 m², 24 multifunctional rooms) and complemented by six themed hotels, the PortAventura Park and Ferrari Land theme parks, in-house catering, and on-site team-building activities. Founded as part of the resort opened in 1995, the Business & Events division is operationally active under the legal entity Port Aventura Entertainment, S.A.U. and reported a record 280+ events with approximately 70,000 attendees in 2023.

The product surface is built around a single integrated property combining physical infrastructure (convention centre, hotels, two theme parks) and event-production capabilities delivered through the Booster Audiovisual Solutions brand and the 2023 joint venture with Bmotion Audiovisual. Technology components include an immersive room, digital solutions, audiovisual production, content creation, scenography, hybrid event delivery using augmented reality and 3D graphics, simultaneous translation, branded transport, and an interactive virtual tour of the venue. Complementary sustainability, food-safety, and security systems are layered through ISO 14001, ISO 22000, ISO 50001, EMAS, B Corp, AENOR Zero Waste, and UN Global Compact certifications.

The business operates a direct sales model in which every corporate or agency client is assigned a single account manager who coordinates venue, accommodation, catering, AV, team building, and logistics end-to-end. Revenue is generated through one-time venue rentals across the convention centre and parks, professional services for end-to-end event delivery, recurring hotel accommodation, theme-park venue access, and ancillary F&B and AV revenue. Distribution is predominantly direct, supplemented by MICE agencies and professional congress organisers, with marketing executed through the company's multilingual website (ES, EN, CA, DE, FR), social channels, an editorial magazine, industry trade shows, and a sustained run of M&IT, MICEbook, World MICE Awards, and Eventex award wins.
