The entire resort will occupy 619 acres, where tourists will be offered a wide range of entertainment services,” he added.
Wang Wenli confirmed that they’d like to become residents of the project and invest in the creation of tourist facilities on the territory of the gambling zone. “On the day of arrival in Vladivostok, we visited the first entertainment complex in Muravyinaya Bay and remained under the great impression not only from the casino, but also in general from the beauty of the place which was selected for the creation of the resort. It is important that the first complex was founded by Melco, a very well-known and respected company in China. For us, this is one of the indicators of the high status of this project,” he concluded.
