IAG JAN 2020年1月 亞博匯 14 亞博匯早報 BREAKFAST BRIEFS SUNCITY ON TRACK FOR 1Q20 LAUNCH OF VIETNAM IR HOIANA 太陽城集團將按計劃於2020年第一季度 推出越南「會安南岸」綜合度假村 HONG KONG -listed Suncity Group Holdings Limited has confirmed it is on track to open its Vietnam integrated resort, Hoiana, within the first quarter of 2020. According to Suncity’s Assistant Vice President of Marketing Communications, James Wong, final preparations for the launch of Hoiana’s first phase are progressing rapidly. “We are looking at the first quarter, most likely late February or March,” Wong told IAG . Hoiana, a joint venture between Suncity, VMS Investment Group and Vietnam’s VinaCapital Group, represents a significant step forward for the junket operator as it looks to move into the world of casino operations. While Hoiana will launch its first phase early next year, completion of the entire resort is expected to take multiple years across a number of phases. Explaining Suncity’s decision to move into casino operations, Wong told IAG , “We have been getting experience for the last 12 or 13 years in providing high level service, so we’ve got the skill, we’ve got the database, we’ve got all the software, which makes us ready to be an operator. “Now we are testing the hardware. Obviously one of the main reasons is that when we have our own hardware we have better control to entertain our guests and provide a more unique experience. Under the leadership of Mr Alvin Chau, this is the strategy of Suncity Group.” 香港 上市公司太陽城集團控股有限公司日前確認， 其於越南的綜合度假村「會安南岸」將於2020年第一 季度開業。 太陽城集團市場傳播部助理副總裁黃梓漢稱，「 會安南岸」一期的最後階段準備工作正有序不紊地 展開。 黃梓漢告訴《亞博匯》，「我們正在考慮第一季 度，很可能是二月下旬或三月。」 由太陽城、VMS Investment Group及越南 VinaCapital Group共同合資的會安南岸，對博彩中 介人太陽城而言，是其進軍娛樂場營運領域的重要 一步。 雖然會安南岸今年初將推出其第一期項目，但 整個綜合度假村的完工預計將在數年內分多個階段 完成。 黃梓漢向《亞博匯》解釋太陽城進軍賭場營運的 決定時表示，「在過去的12至13年間，我們在提供高 水平服務方面一直在積累經驗，我們現在擁有技術、 擁有客戶資源、擁有軟件設備，這些都使我們做好了 成為營運商的準備。」 「目前我們正在測試硬件設施。顯而易見，主要 原因就是當我們擁有自己的硬件設施之後，可以更 好地來招待我們的賓客，為他們提供更為獨特的體 驗。這就是周焯華先生領導之下的太陽城集團的策 略。」
