Spanish Survivor to be Filmed
in Nicaragua
Nicaragua has been chosen as the new
location for Spain's version of the reality
show Survivor (Supervivientes) Season 11,
expected to air in May 2010.
The Spanish television network, Telecinco,
announced that the destination for this
season will no longer be the Cochinos Keys
in Honduras like the previous four seasons;
instead, the participants will travel to
Nicaragua's South Atlantic Autonomous Region
(RAAS, for its acronym in Spanish),
specifically to Corn Island and the Pearl
Keys.
The Pearl Keys consist of 18 little islands
located on the Caribbean Coast, 35 km from
the coast of Pearl Lagoon, where the seventh
season of the Italian version of Survivor (L'Isola
dei Famosi) is currently being filmed.
The show consists of filming the daily lives
of famous contestants who will compete to
survive in Nicaragua's Pearl Keys for almost
3 months without food or shelter.
Contestants will be challenged twice a week
and will be able to win prizes and become
the leaders of the island. The winner of the
competition will receive a prize of
EUR200,000.
The show will have a positive impact on
Nicaragua's tourism sector and its economy
by drawing the attention of the European
audience. Statistics from the Nicaraguan
Tourism Board (INTUR, for its acronym in
Spanish) show that Europe is the fastest
growing source market when it comes to
tourists visiting Nicaragua, with a 23.5
percent increase in 2009 when compared to
2008.
