IAG AUG 2019年8月 亞博匯 44 T here is not a single obstacle to developing an IR in Nagasaki. At least, that’s how it appears. The push for an IR bid started in the private sector in 2007 and has been unwavering since, and those who are in favor of the initiative have been in the majority. That fact hasn’t wavered despite political changes. In 2014, the governor announced at the Prefectural Assembly that he would be promoting an IR bid and this has formed the backbone of the prefecture's aspirations. The majority of residents agree, particularly among the youth. That Nagasaki has already reached consensus is no doubt a point of envy among many other prefectures. In April, approximately 30 hectares of land on the west side of Huis Ten Bosch was purchasedas an IRcandidate site with the prefecture, city and Huis Ten Bosch all in basic agreement. 今年4月，長崎縣、長崎市及豪斯登 堡就達成了一個基礎協議，購買豪 斯登堡西側約30公頃土地成為一 個潛在的IR選址。 GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS WORKING TOGETHER There are many strengths to Nagasaki’s proposal. In April this year, approximately 30 hectares of land on the west side of Huis Ten Bosch was purchased as an IR candidate site with the prefecture, city and Huis Ten Bosch all in basic agreement. The infrastructure is already in place thanks to the existing resort, which attracts around 3 million visitors annually, reducing the initial outlay. Potential IR operators will welcome this discount on their initial investment. Further, part of the candidate site looks over Omura Bay and is located only a 30-minute high-speed boat ride to Nagasaki Airport. 要 在長崎發展一間綜合度假村(IR)，其實並沒有 甚麼因素在阻礙著，至少看起來是這樣。要求 參與競爭成為IR落腳地的呼聲其實早於2007 年就在私營企業之間傳出，並且一直持續，而 那些贊同此事的人一直都是佔大多數。 而這趨勢在政治環境的改變下依然沒有改變。在2014年 ，該 縣的知事在縣議會上宣佈，他們會推動參與IR競爭，而此事也成為 了長崎願景的基石。大部分的居民都對此表示贊成，特別是年輕 的一代。誠然，長崎能夠在這事上達成共識，無疑是羨煞了很多其 他縣。 政商合作 長崎方案其實有很多優勢。在今年4月，長崎縣、長崎市及豪 斯登堡就達成了一個基礎協議，購買豪斯登堡西側約30公頃土地 成為一個潛在的IR選址。由於現存的那一間每年能吸引約300萬 名遊客的度假村，該處已經建有基礎設施，所以就省掉了一筆起 JAPAN
