The government of Japan’s Wakayama prefecture announced the start of its request-for-proposal (RFP) process to choose a private-sector consortium as partner for its tilt to host a casino resort. Wakayama hopes that if approved by the national government, its project could be ready for commercial launch in the spring of 2025.
Wakayama has scheduled the end of August as the deadline for would-be partners to submit business proposals, with mid-November the target date for selecting such a partner. The local government’s designated site is a 23.61-hectare (58.3-acre) plot on an artificial island known as Marina City.
It runs from early January 2021 to July 31 of that year. There has been no sign so far of that being revised, notwithstanding the global public health alert over the novel coronavirus pandemic. The RFP process, Wakayama said would-be IR operators should develop their resort scheme based on the concept of “sports and wellness” by integrating it with Wakayama’s own tourism resources.
