Wakayama to Conduct Two Public Consultation Hearings on Planned IR Development
Authorities in Wakayama will hold two public hearings and 14 residents’ briefings to discuss the prefecture’s draft integrated resort (IR) district development plan. The Wakayama Prefectural Government hopes to open an integrated resort by 2026.
The prefecture must submit its area development plan to the national government for approval by April 28 if it is to bid for one of three IR licences planned for Japan. IR legislation requires public hearings that must be held before the prefectural government submits its plan to the Japanese government.
According to Wakayama’s draft regional development plan, Canada’s Clairvest Neem Ventures Co Ltd, Wakayama’s IR partner, will raise JPY470bn (US$4.09bn) to invest in the integrated resort. The draft plan stipulates that the cost will be divided into JPY145bn in equity.
Clairvest Neem Ventures and Canada’s Clairvest Group Inc will own 55% of the total equity in the resort. Caesars Entertainment is also part of the core investor group with a 5% stake.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
One of betting and gaming’s best-known customer acquisition and comparison businesses, Quantum, has announced the next steps in its ambitious growth plan by welcoming two new director-level appointees.
Joining the business are Dimitris Papamichael as commercial director and Luke Watkin as marketing director – both in newly created roles. They come in alongside a full C-suite and a full team of new tech hires that continues a recruitment drive which began in 2023 – and reflects Quantum’s rapid and consistent growth throughout the last five years.
Papamichael will be responsible for all revenue-generating activities across the business in a pivotal leadership role. He’ll shape Quantum’s commercial strategy as the company diversifies into new verticals while maintaining its strong position in the iGaming sector. He’ll also lead an expanding team of commercial and sales managers.
Watkin will lead the development and execution of the marketing strategy across all business verticals. As marketing director, he’ll be instrumental in shaping Quantum’s marketing vision, building scalable systems, and delivering commercial impact as it expands into new markets. Watkin will build and mentor a high-performing marketing team and is also tasked with driving further recruitment.
Speaking of the appointments and new strategic direction, CMO James McCarthy said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Dimitris and Luke to Quantum during what is undoubtedly a really fascinating time in our growth. From cementing our relationship with some of iGaming’s biggest names to helping us expand into exciting new sectors, both of our new Directors will be integral to the continued success of the business.”
Papamichael said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Quantum at such an exciting stage of its incredible growth journey. The company has already achieved so much, and there’s huge potential ahead as we expand into new markets and sectors. I can’t wait to work with the exceptionally talented team here to seize the many opportunities ahead and drive the next phase of growth.”
Watkin said: “I am delighted to join a business with such a proven track record of excellence in its core markets, as well as highly ambitious plans for strategic expansion into new markets and territories. I am looking forward to contributing towards building on the exceptional progress the team has made to date, and accelerating that growth in the years ahead.”
This people news comes hot on the heels of the company’s exciting rebrand news of last week, moving toward the “quantum” in QiH Group” as well as redefining the business’ purpose and strategic direction.
