Taiwan aims to build mega resort-casino

TAIPEI: Officials in an outlying Taiwan archipelago said yesterday they would build a massive resort-casino with investment of at least US$910 million (US$1 = RM3.55) if local voters approve a gambling referendum as early as next month.

The Penghu County government has proposed its casino resort on 130 coastal hectares with hotels, duty-free shops, a convention centre and a golf course, said Liu Mei-fan with the county’s tourism bureau, which would concession out the land.
