Will Europe's Casinos Survive The Economic Downturn?
December 8, 2008
Las Vegas Sands COO Expects to Survive `Rough' 18 Months Ahead | www.bloomberg.com
Whilst the impact of the recession in the US is already being felt amongst casino businesses in Las Vegas and elsewhere, it appears that Europe's operators are so far largely unaffected. For the moment the jury is out on whether the worst is yet to come, or if the sector will react differently on the other side of the Atlantic. Thanks to the markedly different client demographics and gaming behaviour in Europe will the industry weather the storm? Or will the sector's weakened state following the introduction of smoking bans in many countries leave it susceptible to the effects of the downturn in customer spending when it begins in earnest?
