Description
A Jeju provincial legislative committee on Thursday passed an agenda deemed mandatory before Lotte Tourism Development moved its foreign-only casino license to Jeju from the existing Lotte Hotel Jeju to the newly opened Jeju Dream Tower (pictured).
According to data compiled by GGRAsia, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Council passed the plenary session with 29 votes in favor, 6 votes against, and 3 abstentions.
A Jeju Island representative for GGRAsia said the agenda for the casino relocation will now be sent for review by the Jeju Casino Supervisory Board, known as its affiliated organization. The person did not predict how long the review would take.
After the review by the supervisory committee, the final approval of the Jeju branch will be the final procedure.
Thursday's agenda is the submission of opinions on the application for the relocation of the LT casino location, referring to the name used locally at Lotte Hotel Jeju Casino.
Previous plans for gaming licensing include expanding the 1,175 sq m (12,648 sq ft) casino allowed area, which includes five table games and 51 gaming machines, to 5,367 sq m, which includes 150 table games and 300 machines.
In December 2020, a hotel called Grand Hyatt Jeju opened at Jeju Dream Tower.
According to the online broadcast of the provincial council's plenary session, the provincial council's Culture, Tourism and Sports Committee discussed the agenda for the relocation of the Jeju Dream Tower license from March 19.
There has been a long debate over the police investigation into allegations that questions raised to the public were subject to manipulation in the August 2020 local government's "Social Impact Check" survey and survey, which Jeju Dream Tower "passed" in August 2020.
However, the committee eventually unanimously passed the agenda on Wednesday, which it transferred to the plenary session of Parliament. 온라인카지노
The Culture, Tourism and Sports Commission commented that it expects the project to provide "80 percent" of job opportunities for Jeju residents. It also expected that the project would help local young people, that the developer would create "active" plans for educational opportunities and crime-fighting for local residents, and that the resort operator would create a "detailed" plan regarding donations to the "communities."
