Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd says that keeping “Japanese culture and heritage at the heart” of any integrated resorts it builds is behind the company’s latest Japan push after it named Ako Shiraogawa as President of Melco Resorts and Entertainment Japan this week.
In a statement, Mr Shiraogawa pointed to Melco’s establishment of new offices in Tokyo and Osaka as key to the company’s Japan strategy, adding, “Our approach of bringing together a team of Japanese advisors, architects and executives will ensure that we keep Japanese culture and heritage at the heart of anything we build, while our global IR expertize will ensure that anything we develop here can more than fulfil the government’s ambitions of establishing Japan’s newest world‐class tourist destination.”
Melco Resorts and Entertainment also announced that it had formed an official partnership with Osaka in its bid to host World Expo 2025. Osaka is one of four nations bidding to host World Expo 2025 – to be held from 3 May to 3 November 2025 – with the winner to be announced in November 2018.
Melco Resorts Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho said earlier this week that he wanted to introduce a new wave of world-class integrated resorts to Japan utilizing “artificial intelligence and technology” to improve the customer experience.
