Japan casino giant vows to put RP in world map with $2-B plan


Tiger Resorts, Leisure and Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Japan-based casino resorts developer and operator Universal Entertainment Corp., is set to put the Philippines in the world map of entertainment and gaming with the construction of its $2-billion premiere entertainment complex project.



Highly anticipated to excite the coastlines of Manila Bay, Tiger Entertainment broke ground Thursday on a 45-hectare site located at the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment Complex to officially kick-start the rise of the next major world-class entertainment, luxury shopping and prime gaming destination in Asia — the Manila Bay Resorts.


“The Philippines, with its scenic environment and world-famous Filipino hospitality, is an excellent location for the next huge entertainment tourism hub in the region,” Universal Entertainment Corp. chairman Kazuo Okada said.


“Considering its proximity to China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, Manila has a competitive advantage over other major Asian cities,” he added.


With a vision of building a real-life wonderland, Manila Bay Resorts is ideally equipped with a variety of facilities and amenities designed to meet the entertainment, retail and gaming needs not only of the Philippines, but also of its neighboring countries.
