Yokohama city is evaluating a way to move forward with its integrated resort project after hold ups due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Japan.- Yokohama city is concerned on the viability of its integrated resort (IR) project due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to a senior official, the city is planning to press investors that previously showed interested in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toshihide Hirahara, who has responsibility for the city\u2019s initiative to develop a large-scale casino complex, said the intention is to contact those operators that submitted proposals under Yokohama\u2019s request-for-concept (RFC) process, which took place in late December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the pandemic crisis, it had been calculated that building an IR would cost up to US$10 billion. Now some analysts consider it should be less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Japanese central government has yet to reveal its basic policy on IRs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
