Japão – Suncity abre escritório para promover seu conceito Wakayama IR2.0
By Phil - 14 de setembro de 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.
O CEO da Suncity, Alvin Chau, disse que a visão era de um 'projeto único que combinasse a tradição histórica, a paisagem natural e a essência cultural da província de Wakayama'.
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.
O Escritório havia dito anteriormente que mais de 20 operadores internacionais de RI da América do Norte, Europa e Ásia manifestaram seu interesse em um fórum de RI que atraiu o interesse de grupos operacionais incluindo Solaire, Lucien Barriere, Mohegan Gaming, Bloomberry Resorts e Galaxy Entertainment. O governo quer que seu RI tenha um hotel de 2,500 quartos com centro de convenções e sala de exposições. Marina City fica a cerca de 40 minutos de carro do Aeroporto Internacional de Kansai e a 70 minutos de carro de Osaka. A sua infra-estrutura já está bem desenvolvida com muitos hotéis e um parque de diversões baseado em paisagens urbanas medievais europeias.
