South Korea's Incheon city says it aims to transform a small fishing island off the country's west coast into a hub of tourism, shopping and gambling to rival Macau and Las Vegas.
The city, 28 kilometres west of the capital Seoul, hopes to attract up to $290 billion in investments by 2030 to build casinos, hotels, auto racing tracks, a marina and K-pop concert halls in its district of Yongyu-Muui.
Incheon hopes the complex will lure the growing middle and upper class from China, who are spending more on leisure and travel, and tourists from Japan.
