By Фил - 14 сентября 2015 г.
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.
Луис Лимлинган, аналитик Reджина Capital Development Corp в Маниле, сказал: «Расширение присутствия за пределами Филиппин будет хорошим предзнаменованием для компании. Они смогут привлечь больше корейцев, китайцев и японцев».
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.
Компания Genting Hong Kong недавно открыла свое первое казино на южнокорейском острове Чеджу. Новое казино Genting Jeju, расположенное в отеле Hyatt Regency Jeju, является совместным предприятием компаний Genting и Landing International Development, каждая из которых владеет 50-процентной долей в этом предприятии. Казино в отеле Hyatt Regency имеет одну из восьми игорных лицензий на Чеджу в соответствии с Законом о развитии туризма. Genting также планирует открыть проект Resorts World Jeju стоимостью 2.2 миллиарда долларов, в рамках которого компания также сотрудничает с Landing.
Bloomberry owns and operates the $1.2bn casino-resort Solaire in Manila Bay, in the Philippines.
