By Phil - 14. rujna 2020
Asian junket investor Suncity Group has now opened an office in Wakayama which it will use as a promotional base in its attempts to land one of Japan’s first integrated resorts with its Wakayama IR2.0 concept.
The newly established Wakayama office will show concept videos and a scale model of the project.
Suncity has said it would spend between HK$30bn and HK$35bn (US$3.8bn to US$4.5bn) on an Integrated Resort in its Wakayama, in the Kansai region, on Honshū island’s Kii Peninsula.
Izvršni direktor Suncityja Alvin Chau rekao je da je vizija 'jedinstven projekt koji kombinira povijesnu tradiciju prefekture Wakayama, prirodni krajolik i kulturnu bit.'
It will offer 2,600 rooms and villas, restaurants and a sky lounge, hot springs and spas, a substantial exhibition venue, indoor sports facilities and boat tours to nearby coastal towns and tourist attractions.
Mr. Chau said: “We will present to the world the unique charm of Wakayama. I believe our ideas are in line with what the Japanese government is looking for in regional development Wakayama is rich in Japanese tradition and culture and has an abundance of nature in the mountains and sea. We are planning a resort that incorporates these charms. We will challenge regional revitalization centering on integrated resort facilities. We will promote the development of international tourism cities that make the most of the assets of Wakayama Prefecture, the nature, culture, history and people’s activities focusing on integrated resort facilities.”
Only two casino companies, have lodged proposals for the request-for-proposal (RFP) process to develop a casino on an artificial island called Marina City in the Japanese prefecture of Wakayama, located east of Osaka Canada-based Clairvest mounting the challenge to Suncity.
Ured je prethodno rekao da je više od 20 međunarodnih IR operatera iz Sjeverne Amerike, Europe i Azije izrazilo interes za IR forum koji je privukao interes operativnih grupa uključujući Solaire, Lucien Barriere, Mohegan Gaming, Bloomberry Resorts i Galaxy Entertainment. Vlada želi da njezin IR ima hotel s 2,500 soba s kongresnim centrom i izložbenom dvoranom. Marina City udaljena je oko 40 minuta vožnje od međunarodne zračne luke Kansai i 70 minuta vožnje od Osake. Njegova je infrastruktura već dobro razvijena s brojnim hotelima i zabavnim parkom temeljenim na srednjovjekovnim europskim gradskim pejzažima.
