Kangwon Land, home of South Korea’s only locals casino, has announced an integrated tourism project to boost foreign patronage. The plan will add more non-gaming attractions and also increase the gaming floor.
Kangwon Land Casino & Hotel is located in Gangwon Province. The picturesque but remote mountainous region borders the DMZ between North and South Korea. The property, about 150 kilometres from Seoul, opened in 2000 in a onetime coal mining community.
“Just as Las Vegas transformed from a desert mining town into a global entertainment hub, Kangwon Land has the potential to transform from a former coal mining region,” said Kangwon vice president and interim CEO Choi Cheol-kyoo.
