IAG JUL 2021年7月 亞博匯 37 封面故事 It seems unfeasible for Casinos Austria to execute on a Nagasaki IR without a significant number of consortium partners. However, despite Casinos Austria being interested in Nagasaki for many years now, none have been announced. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY We’re yet to see Casinos Austria getting out and engaging with the Nagasaki community, so it’s hard for us to draw any conclusions here. Murray does note the company’s CSR efforts in their home base of Austria. “Casinos Austria has a very solid reputation for taking their community relations, corporate social responsibility and sustainability strategies seriously in all business units and corporate functions,” he says. “The Director General leads such initiatives through a CSR Forum, and there is a CSR clause in all key employee contracts. “Although Casinos Austria have not undertaken major or significant community engagement activities to date, I do believe they will execute best practices in Japan to operate in an appropriate manner beneficial to the local community. Casinos Austria typically conduct community engagement activities in a very strategic, inclusive, measured and controlled fashion.” THE BOTTOM LINE The biggest factors for us regarding Casinos Austria are: The lackof experienceoperating large integrated resorts with hundreds of tables, thousands of slot machines, over 1,000 hotel rooms, dozens of restaurants and a major international MICE facility of tens of thousands of square meters; The company’s unwillingness to name any consortium partners, which begs the question: do they have any? A huge question mark on financing.
