Some casinos in South Korea have banned Chinese package travel groups from entering the country to prevent the spread of the newly confirmed coronavirus, industry sources confirmed to GGRA on Tuesday. The source of the new coronavirus-related infection is believed to have been Wuhan in China's Hubei province.

South Korean casino operator Paradise Co Ltd, which operates a foreign-only concert hall in the country, has not allowed organized groups of Chinese tourists to enter the country since Jan. 27, Yonhap News reported. A company representative confirmed to GGRAsia that Paradise's casinos have temporarily "banned the entry of Chinese group tourists."

"This was not enforced by the tourism ministry (of the country)," the spokesperson said, adding that it was the company's decision.

According to the association, most of Paradise's customers are "private VIP tourists." Paradise's representative said the company's ban only covers Chinese tourist groups. "We don't plan on expanding it to individuals," the person told us.

Paradise currently operates four casinos in the country, including the casino resort Paradise City. The company told the union it had installed heat scan points for temperature checks at all locations.

Grand Korea Leisure, a market rival that operates three foreigner-only casinos in Korea under the Seven Luck brand, has also decided to ban Chinese tour groups from entering the country, the outlet reported.

Beyond Macau, Asia-Pacific casino operators are exposed to the consumer sector in mainland China, posing cash flow risks (in some cases debt service risks) related to the coronavirus emergency in China, ratings agency S&P Global said in a recent report.

South Korea has reported 15 confirmed coronavirus cases as of Monday. Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun announced Sunday that South Korea will ban all foreigners who have been to China's Hubei province in the past two weeks from entering the country. The restrictions took effect today (Tuesday) and last for an unspecified period of time until the disease rate drops.

The South Korean government said it would consider later whether to expand the measure to other parts of the country, local media said. The government said it would also restrict entry from China, such as strengthening entry visas for Chinese passport holders and suspending short-term travel visas.

Jeju Island is a Korean resort that hosts several foreigner-only casinos and is reportedly considering a temporary suspension of the visa-free system for Chinese visitors.

Dozens of countries have restricted travel to China, more than 20 airlines have suspended flights to and from the mainland, some including Macau and Hong Kong flights.
