Speaking at the at the Kyushu Nagasaki Integrated Resort (IR) Business-Connect Seminar, Casinos Austria International Japan’s Managing Director, Akio Hayashi, described the plans as “amazing” adding they had not been “seen elsewhere in the world.”
Nagasaki emphasised that CAI wasn’t looking to replicate the “gaudiness of Las Vegas or Macau” but that it wanted to to create a “European-style IR” to suit a regional city with MICE as a key.
As part of the presentation, Austrian Prime Minister, Sebastian Kurtz, spoke via a video recording about what a great honour it would be to be a part of Nagasaki’s IR.
Nagasaki Governor, Hodo Nakamura, has previously said: “We aim to establish an entry point for IRs with a Japanese IR in Kyushu.”
