And I will take you by surprise

What is the Lebanese government doing to support you? We are in negotiations to extend the contract for another 30 years and to discuss the percentage issue, since casino strategies have changed around the world. Nowadays, they have to pay for tickets, hotel bills and send planes for big players, while funding marketing tools, etc. We cannot do this, when we’re paying 50 percent in taxes. Casinos in Cyprus pay 20 percent to their government, for example, so we need to reevaluate the percentage we are paying and close all the unlicensed shops. Extending the contract is key to finding investors for the casino. Hopefully, the main shareholders will invest and there are also grants available from the Lebanese Central Bank. hospitalitymag

Il governo, in maniera indiretta, ha risposto.
