The Incheon Metropolitan City government has announced it plans to expand its cultural and tourism industries. This will include expanding its casino cluster as part of the Yeongjong-do Integrated Resort Cluster Project.

The plan was outlined as part of a proposal to establish the region as one of the leading tourist and cultural locations in Northeast Asia. Yeongjong island, which is located off the West Coast of the city, is already a well-known area because it is the location of the Incheon International Airport. This makes it ideal for expansion, including the addition of five-star hotels, convention centers, foreigner-only casinos, theme parks, shops, and spas.

This is already a hotbed for gaming activity. The island boasts the Paradise City complex in a region where resorts and casinos such as the Caesars Resort complex, Mohegan Gaming, and the Inspire Entertainment Resort will soon join the Paradise facility.

Paradise City first opened in 2017 as the first foreigners only resort complex in South Korea. It includes a five-star hotel with 711 rooms, a casino complex, and a convention hall which is able to accommodate as many as 1600 people.
