Overview

  • PortAventura World has suspended ticket and hotel reservations for April 19 due to a one-day strike by workers demanding better wages, workloads, staffing, and job clarity.
  • The park has confirmed it will open on the strike day but cannot guarantee the quality of service during the disruption.
  • UGT and CCOO unions called the strike after failed negotiations and mediations, stating no agreement will be reached before Saturday.
  • Union leaders, including Paco López, pledged to respect the right of employees who choose to work and not block access to the workplace.
  • The labor dispute reflects broader tensions in the tourism sector over stagnant wages and working conditions at major destinations like PortAventura.
