(Slovenia).- After a joint venture in a major gaming centre project with US casino operator Harrah's was shelved in 2008, Slovenian casino operator HIT presented a plan for a new tourism centre near Nova Gorica by 2019. The new 700 million-1billion euro tourism project gives gaming less than 3% in terms of the space used.
HIT chairman Drago Podobnik said the centre would be built with partners at one of six possible locations near the Slovenian-Italian border on 120 hectares of land, of which 70 hectares would be used for a golf course and an apartment village.
The tourism centre is further to include a hotel, a wellness centre, a casino, restaurants, a multi-purpose hall for events, a congress centre, a disco, a gallery, a shopping centre, a cinema multiplex, a water park and an amusement park.
This will be an attractive and major achievement for all of Europe in terms of size, the variety and quality of services, said Podobnik, adding that the centre was conceived as a sustainably-oriented all-in-one tourism area.
