Corea – Bloomberry aprirà il Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino questo mese
By Phil - 14 settembre 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, analista presso Regina Capital Development Corp a Manila, ha dichiarato: “Avere una maggiore presenza al di fuori delle Filippine sarebbe di buon auspicio per l’azienda. Possono attingere a più coreani, cinesi e giapponesi”.
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 ha recentemente aperto il suo primo casinò sull'isola sudcoreana di Jeju. Situato presso l'Hyatt Regency Jeju Hotel, il nuovo Genting Jeju Casino è una joint venture tra Genting e Landing International Development, ciascuna delle quali detiene una partecipazione del 50% nell'impresa. Il casinò dell'Hyatt Regency è una delle otto licenze di gioco a Jeju ai sensi della legge sulla promozione del turismo. Genting prevede inoltre di aprire il Resorts World Jeju da 2.2 miliardi di dollari, un progetto in cui sta collaborando anche con Landing.
Bloomberry owns and operates the $1.2bn casino-resort Solaire in Manila Bay, in the Philippines.
