Panel wants other facilities besides casinos at Japan IRs
The panel proposed Japanese-style integrated resorts that offer “one-stop” services, including arranging tours to sightseeing spots as well as securing reservations and tickets for transport services. Serving as bases for travelers, integrated resorts are expected to have a positive economic impact across the country.
The government is planning to submit to an extraordinary session of the Diet to be convened this autumn a bill for the establishment of integrated resorts including casinos.
According to the proposal, the core facilities will be run in an integrated manner by the resort operator, and profits from the casinos will be used to support the operations of the other core facilities.
It is hoped that integrated resorts will attract large events, including international conferences and exhibitions, while encouraging tourists to make long-term stays at large hotels to be constructed there.
In future meetings, the panel of experts will focus on casinos, discussing regulations and the types of games to be made available. Its members will also talk about ways to combat gambling addiction and money laundering.
