Market Overview

Viet Nam has been described as an emerging tiger, and the region has certainly experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Vietnam is fast becoming a key destination for business and leisure travellers and investors keen to capitalize on the country’s economic strength and stability. With a wealth of cultural centres, landscapes from stunning beaches hugging the country’s 3,260-kilometre coastline to jagged mountain ranges, including the highest peak in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is one of the most captivating places on Earth.
 
Located at the heart of Asia, Vietnam is easily accessible to the most highly populated regional centres. Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport is Viet Nam's largest airport and the only one in the south of the country, with a total annual passenger capacity of 15 to 17 million, eight to ten million of which are international business and leisure travellers.
 
Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asian region is densely population with the world’s greatest demonstrated propensity to game. South and Central Asia is home to approximately four billion people whose gaming demand is underserved by just 199 licensed gaming venues, versus 1,623 and 1,202 in North America and Europe, respectively. Furthermore, the lucrative VIP segment of this robust market has few avenues to pursue gaming activities in venues that befit these players. Most current gaming options in the surrounding region lack premium facilities and a sufficient range of high quality leisure amenities. 
 
As the only licensed large-scale gaming establishment in southern Vietnam, the Ho Tram Strip will enjoy prime positioning in this segment of the Asian tourist market.
 
While the gaming market will play a key role in the success of the Ho Tram Strip, the facility will be developed as a full-amenity resort with a vast array of offerings catering to the needs of domestic travellers and visitors from across the region.
