Resorts World, the luxurious property that is supposed to open doors for players within a few months, is expected to take the casino industry of the United Kingdom to new heights.
Paul Thandi, the Chief Executive Officer of NEC Group, the company that is in charge of the mega project, commented on the matter and said that once the casino is fully functional, the gambling sector of Birmingham and West Midlands will attract the wealthiest players in Europe.
As a result, the tourism industry will also benefit as according to the estimates, the area will become even more attractive to foreigners and the tourism sector will be further expanded with 2 million tourists on annual basis.
Mr. Thandi reassured the communities that the casino and leisure facilities will be of the highest class. In addition, it is expected to play a major role for boosting local economy in general by making the region an appealing one for foreign investors.
Mr. Thandi put emphasis on the fact that the casino operations of Genting will have an extremely positive impact on the diversification of the gambling sector of West Midlands as Europe-based players are to be provided with gambling facilities of an unparalleled quality.
Resorts World Birmingham is scheduled to open in July and apart from attracting foreign investors, the casino opening will also have a positive effect on the reduction of the unemployment rate. As many as 1,000 workers will be needed for the casino floor as well as the restaurants and shops that are to be located within the luxurious property.
Actually, the company has recently revealed that it is about to hire 300 people for the Genting International Casino and dealers, cashiers and managers will be needed.
According to Mr. Thandi, the resort will manage to become a thriving one as it offers facilities and conveniences that are not frequently available in Europe. The combination of gambling, dining, shopping and recreational facilities within a resort is what makes certain Asian gambling destinations appealing and now European players are provided with these, too.
Food and clothing chains, popular on a global scale, will be available within the property as well. These include TGI Fridays, Pizza Express, Next, etc.
In conclusion, the Chief Executive shared that it took quite some time for his team to figure out all details about the mega project and how to make it lucrative for foreign investors and players and last but not least, they intended to project to “transform the future of the West Midlands” area.
