By Nuria Perez
PARAMOUNT is considering Murcia as the location for a theme park and cinema studios.

The company would build a gigantic theme park with several hotels and studios to compete with the Disneyland Paris resort.

Regional councillor for culture Sr Pedro Alberto Cruz said he met representatives of the company at the Fitur tourism exhibition in Madrid and they are working on a feasibility report.

"The report is due to be finished by the end of April and then we would only have to offer the land," he said.

So far it has only been revealed that the park would be located near the coast and close to an airport.

According to the regional government, 1,500 to 3,000 million euros could be invested in the scheme.

Several representatives of the company are due to visit Murcia soon.
