Anti-gambling groups have gathered forces to push against a potential IR in Yokohama and warned the city Mayor Fumiko Hayashi.
Fumiko Hayashi received a letter by anti-casino groups criticising the potential casino. The Yokohama Harbor Transport Association and the Yokohama Harbor Resort Association have sent the document.
“Operating an IR casino over the objections of an unpersuaded public is totally unacceptable,” stated in the letter.
According to the groups, an international convention centre without a casino could attract 20 million visitors annually and forecasted an overall economic impact of about €16 billion. They also warned that the family-aimed companies like Disney wouldn’t want Yokohama to host an IR close to them.
An estimated €2.8 billion to €7.1 billion revenue could come from a Yokohama casino. The estimate for annual EBITDA may range from €652 million to €1.7 billion.
