LONDON: Japan’s second-largest metropolitan area aims to attract gamblers from South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia to its planned casino-resort as Covid-19 curbs in China have cut the flow of tourists, the region’s leader said.
Osaka has been vying for years to build a casino resort, but its plans have been stymied by regulations, low public approval for gaming and a coronavirus pandemic that had largely slammed the brakes on tourism worldwide for more than a year.
