Japonska – Suncity odpre pisarno za promocijo svojega koncepta Wakayama IR2.0
By Phil - 14. september 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.
Generalni direktor Suncityja Alvin Chau je dejal, da je bila vizija 'edinstven projekt, ki združuje zgodovinsko tradicijo prefekture Wakayama, naravno krajino in kulturno bistvo.'
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.
Urad je že povedal, da je več kot 20 mednarodnih IR operaterjev iz Severne Amerike, Evrope in Azije izrazilo zanimanje za IR forum, ki je pritegnil zanimanje operativnih skupin, vključno s Solaire, Lucien Barriere, Mohegan Gaming, Bloomberry Resorts in Galaxy Entertainment. Vlada želi, da ima njen IR hotel z 2,500 sobami s kongresnim centrom in razstavno dvorano. Marina City je približno 40 minut vožnje od mednarodnega letališča Kansai in 70 minut vožnje od Osake. Njegova infrastruktura je že dobro razvita s številnimi hoteli in zabaviščnim parkom, ki temelji na podobah srednjeveških evropskih mest.
