An official with Incheon International Airport Corp (IIAC) in South Korea says the opening of the $5 billion Inspire integrated resort near the airport has been delayed by at least a year.
A project of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE), a U.S.- tribal operator based in Connecticut, Inspire was originally slated to debut Phase I of the development in 2020. Construction is now expected to be “completed by end-2021″ and the property will “open for business in June the following year.”
“Once the Inspire Resort opens at Incheon airport in 2022, it will not only offer world-class facilities for domestic and international travelers but also provide high-quality jobs in the region,” said IIAC chief executive Koo Bon-hwan in comments to the Korea Herald.
