Recent events have included world-renowned DJ Fat Boy Slim and the Miss Universe Philippines after-party. Asked about the long-term plan for Okada Manila, a company representative told Inside Asian Gaming , “We are positioning it as an integrated resort with features that cater to different kinds of people. “Okada Manila mainly stands for one thing: entertainment. While we have a casino and gaming area – possibly the largest in the country in terms of size and gaming options – we have a rich array of various amenities that truly spoil our guests with choices on how they would like to spend their time, from relaxation to shopping to dining and other kinds of entertainment.” Okada Manila is also keen to push its MICE capabilities, describing Cove Manila as “not your typical corporate venue” and “an alternative location for those who want to foster creativity and encourage socializing.” “One major trend in MICE is the growing preference for venues with demonstrable environment-friendly and green operations and practices,” the company says. “Okada Manila has an efficient rainwater collection system that recycles water for use in our facilities. In the future, we will have a heat recovery system for cogeneration. We are also using high-specification low-e glass to greatly reduce our energy consumption, as well as maximizing natural ventilation and natural systems to ensure that our structures are sustainable.”
