The entertainment and leisure sector has been identified as one of the fastest-growing industries in the coming years. Increasingly, cities need spaces capable of responding to their multiple functions: work, housing, leisure, development and, above all, sustainable development. In the entertainment and leisure sector, seasonality must be eliminated from public calendars, otherwise large facilities will gradually fall into an irreversible process of deterioration and oblivion.
The specificity of functions, so much in vogue since the 1950s, has proved incapable of making large venues self-sufficient over the years and with the changing behavior of contemporary society. The advance of the mass media has established a paradigm shift in the way entertainment venues are offered. In sport, this vulnerability has proved even greater. It is almost impossible to sustain a structure created solely for the purpose of staging matches. Not even our greatest symbol - the Maracanã stadium - has withstood the pressure of these changes. Rescued in part by the Pan American Games, the country's largest stadium is still waiting for major decisions to be taken to overcome its maintenance costs.
In this way, it is essential that the structure now proposed for the state of Acre moves towards the new global trends that indicate the need to create multi-purpose complexes. These multi-purpose arenas, like leisure centers, are becoming important units for the entertainment and leisure industry.
Multipurpose arenas are facilities that bring together equipment of different sizes, such as gymnasiums and stadiums, convention centers, hotels and accommodation, restaurants, stores and exhibition spaces, where events of various kinds take place:
- Cultural shows such as concerts, shows, plays and circuses;
- Sports performances, both individual and collective;
- Trade shows, seminars and congresses;
- Party conventions;
- Religious services and preaching;
- And others.
Its main objective is to foster sustainable development through the national and international promotion of tourist destinations and the generation of business opportunities. These spaces are integrated into city life, acting as leisure centers for the local, regional and international population. They allow cities to be included in the circuit of national and international events, bringing investment to their area of influence in the construction of hotels, restaurants, etc.
