Coreea – Bloomberry va deschide Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino luna aceasta
By Phil - 14 septembrie 2015
Bloomberry Resorts will re-open its newly refurbished and rebranded casino on Jeju Island in Korea this month, under the new management of Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino.
The venture marks Bloomberry’s first casino investment on foreign soil. The operator bought 92 per cent of Golden and Luxury, who co-owns T.H.E. Hotel and Vegas Casino in the southern island of Jeju.
Bloomberry Chairman and Chief Executive Enrique Razon Jr. said: “We are very excited to introduce Jeju Sun Hotel & Casino starting out with the re-opening of this world-class casino after only less than four months. This is our first operating overseas property, and we exerted much effort to put in place the ambiance and amenities that would enrich the gaming experience.”
September’s reopening is the first phase of the refurbishment plan with the second phase scheduled for December 2015.
The Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino features 208 rooms and suites, and 2,125 square meters of gaming space. It is located on Jeju Island, which has been stamped by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
“The expanded casino facilities will include the refurbishment of the main lobby and new dining options. Moreover, the newly branded Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino will offer energetic entertainment and premium gaming facilities featuring the most popular games like baccarat, roulette, Sic Bo, blackjack and South Korea’s premier selection of the latest electronic games and slot machines that will set a new benchmark for lifestyle and leisure experience,” Bloomberry added.
Luis Limlingan, analist la Regina Capital Development Corp din Manila, a declarat: „A avea mai multă prezență în afara Filipinelor ar fi de bun augur pentru companie. Ei pot atinge mai mulți coreeni, chinezi și japonezi.”
Jeju Island attracted 2.3m foreign tourists last year, of which 1.8m were from China. Chinese visitors are expected to grow to 5.3m this year. The island has been the focus of much casino activity in recent months.
Genting Hong Kong a deschis recent primul său cazinou pe insula sud-coreeană Jeju. Situat la hotelul Hyatt Regency Jeju, noul cazinou Genting Jeju este un joint venture între Genting și Landing International Development, fiecare dintre acestea deținând un pachet de 50% din participație. Cazinoul din Hyatt Regency este una dintre cele opt licențe de jocuri de noroc din Jeju, conform Legii de promovare a turismului. Genting intenționează, de asemenea, să deschidă Resorts World Jeju, în valoare de 2.2 miliarde de dolari, un proiect în care face echipă și cu Landing.
Bloomberry owns and operates the $1.2bn casino-resort Solaire in Manila Bay, in the Philippines.
