The prefecture said in its announcement that the process to select a priority partner was conducted with fairness and integrity. Nagasaki Governor Hodo Nakamura added, “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all entities who participated in our RFP at a time when the world had faced [the COVID-19] pandemic, and for their unique proposals that make use of their own experience and expertise. “We also thank the members of the evaluation committee, each with their own perspective based on their area of expertise, who have taken the time to strictly evaluate the proposals. “Going forward, our next course of action is to come to a master agreement with the priority negotiation rights holder. The prefecture will continue its efforts toward receiving national approval for developing an integrated resort in Nagasaki.” 日本長崎縣 宣佈，確定Casinos Austria作為其位於長崎佐世保市 豪斯登堡的IR營運商合作夥伴。 根據長崎縣公佈之訊息，Casinos Austria在長崎縣的競標評 分系統中以697.0分高居榜首，緊隨其後的是以682.8分排在第二 位的Oshidori International Development，以及以667.1分排在 第三位的NIKI Chyau (Parkview) Group。 就在消息宣佈四日前，Oshidori發表新聞稿宣佈退出長崎IR 競標，原因是「受限及不合理的規定」，並暗示競標過程中存在不道 德的行為。 三家公司於一周之前在長崎對於他們如果發展及運營佐世保 市豪斯登堡的IR進行了最終陳述。 該縣在其公告中表示，選擇優先合作夥伴的過程是公平且有 信的。 長崎知事中村法道稱：「在此全球疫情大流行之際，我們僅向 所有參與競標過程的實體表示誠摯的感謝，感謝他們在此過程中 利用自己的經驗和專業知識所作出的特別提案。」 「我們同時感謝評審委員會的委員，他們基於各自的專業領 域，花了相當的時間對提案進行了嚴格的評估。」 「接下來，我們將與優先談判權持有人達成主要協議。本縣將 繼續努力，爭取獲得國家批准在長崎開發綜合度假村。」
