From 13th to 15th May, Magic Robin Hood Resort will host the first edition of the 'Magic Cosplay & Gaming Weekend', an event organised by the hotel chain Magic Costa Blanca Hotels & Resorts and 'Play Magic' (a team of professionals in charge of broadcasting online and carrying out regular activities such as contests and tournaments related to new technologies from the first Holiday Stream resort in the world).
The event will bring together hundreds of people, including organisers, guests and participants, in what will be the first gamer and cosplay event hosted by a holiday resort in Spain.
The event will last three days (13,14 and 15 May 2022) and will feature activities such as: cosplay contest (with more than 50 cosplayers from sagas such as Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Anime, etc.), gaming tournaments of the most popular video games of the moment, exhibition by prestigious cosplayers, gaming area, photocalls, themed games from sagas such as 'Ghostbusters', specialised shops and stands, foodtrucks and entertainment during the three days.
Magic Cosplay & Gaming Weekend' will also feature the confirmed presence of more than 40 legendary Star Wars characters who will perform a spectacular parade through the resort, famous guest streamers and talks by some of the world's most famous collectors. During the three-day event, participants will be eligible for a host of prizes through tournaments, games and raffles.
Among the invited streamers, the presence of Keroro (Fornite Creative World Champion) or DualView & DFreezergirl (Ambassadors and top representatives of Rocket League in Spain) stand out. Female gamers and content creators will therefore have an important presence at this event. The speed and reliability of the connection at the event is assured as AVATEL will be the distributor of the fibre throughout the weekend.
New holiday and leisure experiences
The Play Magic platform, which even has its own eSports team, was launched last summer and has already been used by big names in the sector such as Mayichi, Reven, Grison, La botella de Kandor and TiparracoSA.
Javier García, Vice President of Magic Costa Blanca has confirmed the chain's support for Play Magic, a team of professionals who offer new experiences to customers, both in the resort itself and at home, through new technologies: "The Play Magic project continues to grow. Magic Robin Hood has become the first Holiday Stream resort in the world and with this new event, we want to consolidate our position in this sector, to offer new holiday and leisure experiences to both new generations and their parents. We hope that this 'Magic Cosplay & Gaming Weekend' will become a benchmark and that the Costa Blanca will open up to this type of tourism and activities, which are in great demand by travellers in recent times".
Those interested in attending this event with video games, anime and mythical film sagas can purchase their tickets, with or without accommodation (it is open to the general public), through the official website of the event.
