THE NIKI and Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group, represented by consortium NIKI Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group, confirmed this week that it has submitted a proposal for construction and operation of an IR facility in Sasebo city, Nagasaki prefecture.
Etsuko Oishi, executive vice president of THE NIKI, who represents the NIKI Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group, commented, “We have planned and designed a world-class integrated resort for Nagasaki. We intend to attract premium tourists to Kyushu, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy and becoming a major IR in the Asia region. We look forward to working with local communities and local governments in the process to bring a world-leading facility to the region.
“The NIKI Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group is leading a consortium of which Japanese companies make up the majority, but includes companies from various countries alongside local Kyushu companies. Further, it includes a large number of world-leading overseas partners, including major IR operators.”
The company did not announce which casino operator was participating in the consortium.
The NIKI Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group is made up of THE NIKI, operator of Niki Club, to provide hospitality services, and Chyau Fwu, a conglomerate company with its roots in construction and development that was founded in Taiwan in the 1950s.
It has stated it wants to aid regional revitalization in Japan by realizing a Kyushu/Nagasaki IR and developing a super smart community in Omura Bay that makes full use of cutting-edge technology.
Two other groups this week qualified for Nagasaki’s secondary screening – Oshidori Consortium and Casino Austria.
The three candidates will each make a presentation in August with the final screening results announced in that same month.
The prefecture has stated that the secondary screening documents will represent the operators’ final proposals.
