Hokkaido governor reopens discussion of Japan integrated resort bid
Hokkaido Governor Naomichi Suzuki said the prefecture is listening to renewed interest in an integrated resort, citing changing circumstances and potential contributions to development and tourism spending. The prefecture surveyed municipalities, with Tomakomai, Kushiro and Hakodate expressing interest in exploring a project.
Renewed municipal interest could bring Hokkaido back into consideration for Japan’s integrated resort licensing process.
