DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c86600) has announced the
addition of "Jeju Island, South Korea: Asia's Next Casino Gaming
Giant?" to their offering.

   A current analysis of the tourism situation in Jeju and an
assessment of the island's potential as an attractive casino gaming
and tourism destination.

   Jeju Island (a territory of the Republic of South Korea) is now a
popular destination for South Koreans, attracting nearly five million
tourists last year. A new geopolitical development promises to alter
forever the tourism trajectory of this island. As of July 1, 2006,
Jeju has been awarded Free International City status - a status
similar to that of Hong Kong and Singapore - to boost economic
development for the city and the Korean Republic. The author believes
that Jeju could become the next significant opportunity for the global
casino gaming industry if it is able to take full advantage of its new
free city administration status. This includes the creation of a
well-regulated and robust environment for multi-billion dollar
integrated resort developments that contain casino gaming facilities.
