Genting targets high-rolling Chinese gamblers with massive Jeju project

The resort can rake in $145 million in profits per year.

Genting is eyeing deep-pocketed Chinese gamblers and property buyers with its newest integrated development Resorts World Jeju.

According to a report by CIMB, the resort could add $145m per annum to Genting's bottomline. RWJ will be the first integrated resort in Jeju, a South Korean resort island which received almost 3 million Chinese visitors in 2014.

CIMB expects RWJ's foreigners-only casino to draw Chinese gamblers, particularly as Jeju is only a 2-hour flight away from major cities in northeast China. The development's 1,518 residential units are also expected to be a hit with wealthy Chinese, as Jeju has a policy that grants permanent resident status to foreigners who
purchase property worth at least W500m (US$0.4m) in Jeju.

Resorts World Jeju is a US$1.8bn development built on 2.5 million square metres of land in Southwest Jeju. It is a 50-50 joint venture between Genting and Landing International and will feature a 10,000 sq m foreigners-only casino, a Myths & History Theme Park and a 70,000 sq m retail complex.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
