The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA), operator of Mohegan Sun properties throughout the U.S., along with KCC Corp. and Incheon International Airport Corp. have been awarded a license from the Korean government to develop and build a resort at Incheon International Airport in South Korea.
The first phase of the project is called “Project Inspire” and will include a three-tower luxury hotel complex with 1,350 guestrooms, retail space, an indoor/outdoor amusement park, a casino and an adjacent private air terminal. The first phase is estimated at US$1.6 billion, with a commitment total of US$5 billion.
“We are pleased with the Korean government’s decision to award us the opportunity to help fulfill their vision of driving economic development by growing tourism, creating jobs, and showcasing Korean culture via the integrated resort,” said Bobby Soper, president of MTGA.
