Fumio Kishida (pictured) built an integrated casino resort for parliamentarians as an "important means" for Japan to become a "sightseeing advanced country" in just one week after becoming Japanese prime minister. He said that.
According to GGR Asia reports, the 64-year-old prime minister was appointed as the 3th prime minister at the end of last month, overtaking three rivals and succeeding the unpopular Yoshihide Suga. Officially inaugurated on October 100, he will lead the Liberal Democratic Party in the next general election scheduled for 10th.
Global goals
Kishida has announced that he will build three integrated casino resorts to meet Japan's goal of attracting 2030 million foreign tourists annually by 6,000.
Kishida said these Las Vegas-style developments support this effort as they include not only large gaming floors, but also hotels, family entertainment spaces, and facilities to hold conferences and exhibitions. It is said that there is.
Mr. Kishida said as follows:
Integrated casino resorts are an important initiative for Japan to become a tourism-advanced country in the future.
Currently, each local government is preparing an application for an integrated casino resort that includes a risk assessment, and is appropriately proceeding with necessary procedures such as implementing strict regulations on casinos based on the integrated resort implementation bill.
Financial failure
Meanwhile, according to Inside Asian Gaming, Kishida responded to many criticisms, revealing that future casino-friendly developments will require measures to prevent an increase in gambling addiction.
In addition, Mr. Kishida, who served as Foreign Minister under Shinzo Abe's administration, argued that these facilities would have a positive "spillover effect" on the economy of the host country, leading to increased employment and improved economic outlook. That is.
Main candidates
Most gambling is currently illegal in Japan, but the Abe coalition government passed an integrated resort implementation bill in July 2018 and launched a license program for three large integrated casino resorts.
The metropolises of Osaka, Wakayama and Nagasaki have already selected priority operating partners, which are a requirement of the program, and have officially joined the federal selection committee for the April 4 deadline. We are preparing to submit a bid.
