Aquis Casino

Aquis Casino (‘Aquis’) is intended to be Australia’s largest, most exciting, innovative and world-class integrated resort at a cost of A$8.14. billion to construct.. Aquis is intended to attract substantial tourism visitation from both the international market and domestic market. Aquis will compete on the world stage for international and domestic tourists for the benefit of the whole North Queensland community. The contemporary model of world-class, fully-integrated ‘mega resorts’ was first developed in Macau and is being implemented in a host of Asian destinations, including Singapore and the Philippines. For Queensland (and in particular North Queensland) to compete in this international market Aquis needs to provide a high-class international standard, with multi-faceted and diverse tourism facilities. North Queensland can win the battle for the international tourism dollar with an asset like Aquis. Aquis, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean at the Great Barrier Reef, and located just north of Cairns International Airport, will have the scale, diversity and international flavour to be without peer in Australia. Queensland, and in particular North Queensland, has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to take advantage of the substantial near term growth expected in outbound Chinese tourism and to position North Queensland as a tourism leader within the region. The opportunity is not limited to China however, and it is envisaged that Aquis will attract significant tourism visitation from all over the world. The key to North Queensland securing all the benefits that Aquis offers is to move quickly and with certainty, such that Aquis can become this leader in the region, and attract a whole host of new opportunities as quickly as possible.
