South Korea – Jeju Dream Tower moves closer to being able to house relocated casino
By Phil - 26 de março de 2021
Lotte Tour Development Company Limited has taken a huge step towards being able to offer casino gambling at its new Jeju Dream Tower development on the South Korean island of Jeju with approval from the Standing Committee of the Jeju Provincial Council to relocate its current Jeju casino licence to the tower.
The relocation will now have to clear a plenary session of the council before being signed off by Governor Won Hee-ryong.
The Jeju Provincial Council’s Culture, Tourism and Sports Committee said the application ‘complies with employment regulations such as maintaining 80 per cent of hiring for citizens and 80 per cent of young people, and devises specific solutions for social side effects such as housing rights, learning rights and crime that local communities are concerned about.’
The relocation would increase the current gaming positions from five gaming tables and 51 slots to 150 tables and 300 machines with the gaming floor covering 98,166 sq ft.
The two 38-storey towers are now the tallest buildings in Jeju at 169 meters high and boast 1,626 rooms inside the 75-acre facility with the foreigner-only casino destined for the second floor.
Ki-Byung Kim, presidente e CEO da Lotte Tour, disse: “Com a sólida parceria que foi formada entre o Grupo Greenland, o maior desenvolvedor imobiliário da China e co-desenvolvedor deste projeto, a China State Construction Engineering Corporation, a maior do mundo empresa de construção e empreiteiro principal que forneceu uma garantia completa incondicional, e Grand Hyatt como operador hoteleiro, espera-se que o resort integrado Jeju Dream Tower se torne um importante destino turístico na Ilha de Jeju. Também criará 3,000 empregos, incluindo hoteleiros e revendedores de cassinos, e contribuirá com dezenas de bilhões de won coreanos para o Fundo de Promoção do Turismo de Jeju todos os anos.”
O COO da Lotte Tour, Lawrence Teo, que já foi responsável pelo Altira Macau, focado em VIP da Melco Entertainment, disse: “Queremos ser o Marina Bay Sands de Jeju. Sabemos o que os turistas querem.”
