The Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino is temporarily closing its hotel operations due to a lack of customers.

On Thursday, the property’s general manager Christopher Bishop confirmed that the hotel would suspend operations effective Saturday (5) and wouldn’t reopen until April 15, except for a period covering March 13-19 to honor a previously booked event. Bishop cited a “lack of customers,” particularly among Chinese tourists to the Northern Marianas, for the shutdown.

The Saipan Tribune quoted Tinian mayor Joey San Nicolas saying he learned of the shutdown in a letter from Wai Chan, the chairman of Dynasty’s parent company Hong Kong Entertainment (HKE). San Nicolas claimed the lack of customers was due in part to “some cancellation of flights” to the island.

The property’s casino has been shut since last September, when tourist traffic to the island dried up following Typhoon Souledor. The casino was supposed to reopen in December but HKE filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection that month.
