3ALLIANCE Global Group Inc. sees its Boracay casino opening shop by next year.
Kevin Andrew Tan, AGI president, said the group is spending $300 million for the boutique casino to be called Boracay World Resorts.

“It’s not going to be very big. It’s like a boutique style. … because we don’t want a big structure in Boracay. We want it to be just right for the island. We’re having a more sustainable design so it will be right for the island,” Tan last week in a chance interview during a casino summit last week.

Tan said The Boracay World Resorts “will elevate the island’s appeal to tourists from all over the globe even more.”

“Our group currently owns 150-hectare called the Boracay New Coast (which includes Fairways). And in this area, we have an 18-hole golf course and our own one-kilometer pilot beach and also close to 2,000 hotel room keys,” he said.

“This unique feature will elevate Boracay World Resorts to an elite league of destinations and abilities, posing the rare distinction of having its own golf course, pilot beach, redefining luxury by seamlessly combining the natural beauty of Boracay with the excitement and sophistication of a modern integrated resort,” he added.

Tan earlier said the company is pouring some $400 million for an integrated resort and casino in Cebu, which it will call the Mactan World Resort.

“It will be the latest integrated resort to rise in our Cebu Township and will be located just 20 minutes away from the Mactan Cebu International Airport, the country’s second busiest international gateway,” he said.

“We are investing at least $400 million in the future for this tourism development, which will be home to the state-of-the-art hotel, resort, casino, and casino.

This new integrated resort is targeted to be completed by 2026.

Once completed, this gaming and leisure hub is expected to provide more than 5,000 new jobs to the residents of nearby city’s community, he said.
