Laguna Lang Co is moving forward with Phase II of its master plan development in the Thừa Thiên–Huế province of Vietnam, with a casino part of the proposals.

Phase I comprised a 57-villa Banyan Tree resort, 229-room Angsana resort, luxury residences, a Nick Faldo-designed championship golf course, plus spas, restaurants, bars and a conference centre.

Phase II features a condominium development and additional residential hill villas with proposals for phase IIA include additional luxury accommodations and the construction of a “gaming facility”.

Andrew Klebanow, a partner at Global Market Advisors, the firm that conducted the gaming market assessment for the development, said: “Few people outside of the Asian hospitality industry realise the breadth and scope of Laguna Lang Co.

“The project is similar to Laguna Phuket - only masterplanned on a far grander scale. This will ultimately be an iconic resort destination that will exceed the expectations of those who have ever seen Laguna Phuket. The addition of a games club will only enhance the vacation experience for guests staying at Laguna Lang Co.”

Concept submissions for the gaming facility are due on August 6 with the selection of a gaming operator expected to coincide with the convening of the National Assembly in early 2016.
