Hong Kong-listed Suncity Group says construction of the Hoiana integrated resort on Vietnam’s central coast will be ready to open as scheduled in first-quarter 2020. The junket operator added that the development has so far been untouched by the coronavirus sweeping Macau, China and other parts of the world.
Hong Kong-listed Suncity will manage gaming at the venue, according to a May 2019 filing. The latter company is controlled by Suncity Group junket boss Alvin Chau Cheok Wa.
According to GGRAsia, a Suncity spokesperson said the coronavirus “will not affect our pre-soft opening provided we obtain the local license on time.” The spokesperson added that “part of the hotel rooms and casino operation will be ready” by Hoiana’s “pre-soft opening” stage.
Hoiana has been described as a US$4 billion, multi-phase development.
