The location is really something that cannot be replicated. It’s a very good location for this community and for this market.” 「綜合度假村項目擴大了整個市場，這是一件好 事。它們促進市場發展，不止帶來更多旅客，亦培育了 更多本地玩家。這些玩家嘗試過博彩遊戲後，想繼續玩 樂，這對所有人都帶來了很大的轉變。」 晨麗的第二個綜合度假村「Solaire North」將於 2022年假奎松市落成，這對Club Tropicana及附近地區 都是一個大挑戰，Mamangun指出離Club Tropicana三 至五公里之外的地方，有十多個中小型角子機場。 雖然馬尼拉現有很多奢華的綜合度假村，但Regal- ado-Trinanes強調，角子機場在馬尼拉這市場上仍有一 席位，「這是一個以社區作主導的市場。」 「我們最近進行了一項客戶資料調查，發現在我 們現有的客戶中，根據其出生地及位置等因素，只有少 數人有意去新的項目（Solaire North）。」 「對我們的玩家而言，來這裏消閒是最簡單不過。 事實上地理位置這元素是無法複製的，我們的場所對 這個社區和這個市場而言，都是處於非常好的地理位 置。」
