Razon sizes up Vietnam, Japan for potential Bloomberry expansion

Another country has been added to Bloomberry Resorts’ growing list of potential new ventures as the leisure and gaming company eyes expanding its operations outside of the Philippines.

In a filing to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Bloomberry named Vietnam and Japan among the “several prospective jurisdictions” it is eyeing at the moment, although the company stressed that an overseas expansion won’t happen anytime soon.

“Vietnam and Japan are just some of several prospective jurisdictions outside the Philippines that the corporation is looking at, but there is nothing definitive at this point,” according to Bloomberry.

The announcement comes after Bloomberry chairman Enrique Razon Jr was quoted by the Philippine Star saying “he is interested in expanding his casino operations in the Asian region, depending on how the respective regulatory environments would turn out.”
