Japón – A tres contendientes les dijeron que era Nagasaki o nada

Nagasaki’s three chosen consortiums to go through to the next round for the race to land a licence for an Integrated Resort casino have been told they will not be allowed to bid for a licence in any other Japanese prefecture.

Casinos Austria International, Oshidori International/Mohegan Gaming and a consortium made up of The Niki of Japan and the Chyau Fwu Parkview Group have all made it through to the next round of Nagasaki’s partner-selection process as the prefecture looks to land a licence for an Integrated Resort casino. But all have now been told it’s Nagasaki or bust.

Only three licences are up for grabs in Japan’s first wave of licensing with Osaka, Yokohama and Wakayama so far joining Nagasaki.

The authorities there have said: “Any investment company that will hold a five per cent or more share in a firm formally progressing in the IR proposal process cannot be an investment company for another concurrent bid in a different IR development and operation public tender in Japan.”

The three entities ware due to take part in a ‘competitive dialogue’ with the selectors with a probity test on their suitability to take place in May. In June they will present all the necessary documents for their bid with August the likely month for an announcement for who has won the race.

Nagasaki Vice-Governor Ken Hirata wants the project to be developed at the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Sasebo city with an investment of between US$3.2bn to US$4.2bn.

Del resto de postores, Niki es una división de Niki Club, que anteriormente regentaba NIKI Resort, un resort natural situado en Nasu, mientras que Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group forma parte de la constructora taiwanesa Chyau Fwu, que tiene experiencia en MICE y actualmente construcción de una estación de esquí en Niseko, Hokkaido.
Casinos Austria International ha dicho que su proyecto podría incluir una Orquesta Filarmónica de Viena como elemento permanente. El spa del casino prestaría especial atención a los tratamientos médicos más modernos.

Oshidori International Development Godogaisha, una empresa japonesa, y el operador estadounidense Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment se han asociado para la oferta restante. Dijeron que colaborarían en el desarrollo de un resort integrado de clase mundial y también en la creación de una comunidad dinámica para que Nagasaki se convierta en un destino turístico premium y una opción residencial de primer nivel.
