IAG JAPAN DEC 2020 20 Hoiana adds luxury accommodation and a diversity of entertainment options to complement the cultural allure of Hoi An and the tropical white sand beaches along its coastal margin. ホイアナはこの地域に高級宿泊施設とエン ターテイメントオプションを加えてくれ、ホイ アンの文化的魅力と海岸沿いの美しい白浜 を補完しててくれる施設だ。 L ocated on a massive 945 hectares of land, with 3km of beach frontage and just a short hop across the river to the culturally rich heritage town of Hoi An, the US$4 billion Hoiana integrated resort is a game changer in every sense of the word. For Vietnam and more specifically the surrounding Quang Nam Province bordering Da Nang to the north, Hoiana adds luxury accommodation and a diversity of entertainment options to complement the cultural allure of Hoi An and the tropical white sand beaches along its coastal margin. But for the property’s owners – Hong Kong-listed Suncity Group, hospitality investor VMS Investment Group and Vietnam's leading investment firm VinaCapital – it represents their most significant foray yet into casino and IR operations. “In terms of Suncity Group Holdings Limited, the listed platform of Suncity Group, it aims to expand its investment in integrated resorts as well as casinos within the Asia region,” Suncity says of its involvement. The company also holds a 69.66% stake in Summit Ascent Holdings, which owns a majority stake in Russian casino resort Tigre de Cristal, and a 51% stake in a Philippines entity set to develop a US$700 million hotel and casino in Manila’s Entertainment City precinct.
