Korea – Bloomberry tento měsíc otevře Jeju Sun Hotel and Casino
By Phil - 14. září 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, analytik společnosti Regina Capital Development Corp v Manile, řekl: „Větší přítomnost mimo Filipíny by byla pro společnost dobrým znamením. Mohou klepnout na více Korejců, Číňanů a Japonců.“
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 nedávno otevřel své první kasino na jihokorejském ostrově Jeju. Nové kasino Genting Jeju, které se nachází v hotelu Hyatt Regency Jeju, je společným podnikem mezi Genting a Landing International Development, z nichž každá má v podniku 50procentní podíl. Kasino v Hyatt Regency je jednou z osmi herních licencí v Jeju podle zákona o podpoře cestovního ruchu. Genting také plánuje otevřít 2.2 miliardy dolarů Resorts World Jeju, projekt, kde se také spojuje s Landing.
Bloomberry owns and operates the $1.2bn casino-resort Solaire in Manila Bay, in the Philippines.
