Asian consumer market research for a large-scale entertainment facility

Our client needed Asian consumer market research and insight. With the advent of Integrated Resorts in Japan, our client, a large-scale casino and hospitality brand, sought to win a bid to develop a $4.5bil project in Wakayama. The main targets for the development were domestic tourists (Japanese) and Korean and South Korean tourists. In order to win the bid, they required deep-seat cultural insight around not only the idea of casinos / gaming but also hospitality, entertainments expectations and food and beverage requirements amongst visitors.
