Melco Resorts chairman Lawrence Ho has said that he sees “a lot of potential” in Japan, where casinos were legalised last year.
“Japan is an amazing place but it got just 20 million visitors last year,” he told the South China Morning Post. “Look at Macau - it got well over 30 million visitors. Hong Kong got more than 40 million visitors. There is a lot of potential in the market.
“We had many opportunities go into Las Vegas but every time we shied away from that because the greatest development opportunities for years to come will be in Asia. We have a strong Asian focus and we are a brand that is well known in China.”
