PHNOM PENH -- NagaCorp is planning its third casino project in Phnom Penh to tap the growing numbers of free-spending Chinese tourists to the country. But with a price tag equal to almost a sixth of Cambodia's GDP, analysts are questioning the viability of the project.
In a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Sunday, NagaCorp said it will spend $3.5 billion to build a hotel and casino resort that will boast over half a million square meters of floor space when finished in 2025. The figure excludes land costs.
