Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon’s Yeongjong Island, South Korea will inject a range of tourism and event facilities to the destination starting from 4Q2023 when its phase one developments are complete.
The multi-billion-dollar, multi-phase project occupies a site of 4.3 million square metres in Incheon International Airport’s International Business Centre area, adjacent to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2, placing it within an hour from downtown Seoul.
In all, there will be three five-star hotel towers with more than 1,200 rooms; a 15,000-seat indoor multi-purpose arena; a variety of business events spaces, including a banquet hall for 4,000 guests; a gaming facility; a complex taking in shopping, dining and entertainment features; an indoor water park that will operate year-round; and an outdoor family theme park.
The gaming facility is expected to be ready early-2024 upon acquisition of licenses for operation.
In a press release, the integrated resort claims it will be “Asia’s next-generation entertainment resort”.
Some 4,000 jobs are expected to be created directly and indirectly from the resort’s initial opening. Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort has industry-academy partnerships with more than 30 educational institutions to drive large-scale recruitment and talent development in the hospitality and tourism sector. About 40 per cent of the entry-level employees have been hired from the local community through an early selection programme with partner universities.
