Japāna — Suncity atver biroju, lai reklamētu savu Wakayama IR2.0 koncepciju

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.

Suncity izpilddirektors Alvins Čau sacīja, ka vīzija ir par "unikālu projektu, kas apvieno Vakajamas prefektūras vēsturiskās tradīcijas, dabas ainavu un kultūras būtību".
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.

Birojs jau iepriekš bija paziņojis, ka vairāk nekā 20 starptautiskie IR operatori no Ziemeļamerikas, Eiropas un Āzijas ir izteikuši savu interesi ar IR forumu, kas piesaistīja operatoru grupu, tostarp Solaire, Lucien Barriere, Mohegan Gaming, Bloomberry Resorts un Galaxy Entertainment, interesi. Valdība vēlas, lai tās IR būtu 2,500 istabu viesnīca ar sanāksmju centru un izstāžu zāli. Marina City atrodas aptuveni 40 minūšu brauciena attālumā no Kansai starptautiskās lidostas un 70 minūšu brauciena attālumā no Osakas. Tās infrastruktūra jau ir labi attīstīta ar daudzām viesnīcām un atrakciju parku, kura pamatā ir viduslaiku Eiropas pilsētvides ainavas.
