We hope that this will be a precedent for all integrated resorts that will be built outside of Entertainment City in Manila because in Cebu City, there will be a world-class resort casino that is worth taking a look.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Uy said that the project will help transform Mactan into one of the top tourist destinations in the region. He added that the project will benefit the local community with thousands of jobs being created and will increase revenue for local businesses. The casino will also provide an opportunity to showcase Filipino talent and hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>The casino site is a 12.5-hectare property facing a beach and is located around 4 miles from <strong>Cebu\u2019s international airport<\/strong>. The project is expected to consist of a casino, a large retail complex as well as luxury hotels. The first phase is expected to open by 2019 while the remaining facilities will be opened by the year 2022.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. architect <strong>Paul Steelman<\/strong> has been commissioned to design the Emerald Casino Resort. Steelman has been responsible for designing several gaming projects across the U.S. and Asia including <strong>The Sands Macau and The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas<\/strong>. Steelman said that despite including gaming, the property has been designed to be family friendly. <\/p>\n<p>Pagcor had announced in March, that it was imposing a moratorium for five years for new casino licenses in Manila. However it said that it would still welcome applications for casino projects in other smaller regions of the country with lower capital requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippine gaming market has been steadily gaining prominence, recording gaming revenue of PHP149 billion in 2016.The country\u2019s growing relations with China is expected to help boost the country\u2019s tourism sector further, although the <a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2017\/06\/05\/asia\/resorts-world-manila-suspect-parents\/index.html\">recent attack by a gunman on Resorts World Mania<\/a> is expected dampen sentiments near term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Philippine company Udenna Development Corp recently carried out a groundbreaking ceremony for a casino resort development in Lapu-Lapu City, located on Mactan Island in Cebu province.
