Benidorm: the new Las Vegas

Tourism chiefs plan to turn Spanish resort Benidorm into Europe's Las Vegas by allowing luxury hotels to open casinos.

The initiative was proposed by Hosbec – Benidorm’s hotel association and so far has received support from Benidorm’s town hall.
The initiative hopes to attract wealthier tourists amid an increasing decline in visitor figures and tourist spending (Currently Benidorm tourists are spending an average 60 euros per day, well below Spain’s average of 100 euros).
It is important to do it as quickly as possible, as our future depends on attracting this type of tourist.
Benidorm attracts around 6 million tourists a year, out of which 1 million are from the United Kingdom.
