Hann Group plans second integrated resort by 2030: Report
Hann Group is preparing plans for a second integrated casino resort in New Clark City, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Central Luzon following the performance of Hann Casino Resort in Clark, Pampanga.
According to a report by Insider PH, the proposed development is expected to form part of the second phase of the Hann Reserve project, a 450-hectare, golf-led estate located around 15 minutes from the group’s existing casino resort.
The report said that the second integrated resort is being positioned as a key component of Hann Reserve’s next stage of development, which is targeted for completion by 2030. The broader estate is designed to combine gaming, leisure, residential, education, and lifestyle components within New Clark City, one of the Philippine government’s priority growth areas.
Phase two development plans
Insider PH quoted Hann Philippines’ Vice President Agnes Liwanag saying that the leadership has framed the expansion as a continuation of its strategy to integrate gaming with leisure and lifestyle offerings, rather than relying on casino activity alone. The approach reflects a wider shift among integrated resort operators towards mixed-use developments that can attract a more diverse customer base.
Operating amid a challenging land-based market
The expansion plans come at a time when land-based casinos in the Philippines are facing pressure from a slowdown in high-roller activity. This trend has weighed growth across the sector, particularly for properties that depend heavily on premium international players.
According to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)’s third quarter 2025 gross gaming revenue (GGR) report, land-based casinos generated 45.28 percent of the total GGR.
Despite these conditions, Hann Group continues to invest in its physical footprint. Management has indicated that a listing remains an option, subject to market conditions and timing, while operational expansion continues.
Tourism shifts and local player base
Hann Casino Resort has historically benefited from its proximity to Clark International Airport and from Korean visitor traffic. However, according to the report, softer inbound tourism from South Korea has affected overall volumes. In response, Liwanag said the resort has increasingly relied on the domestic market, with local players now accounting for the majority of its customer base.
While the tourism slowdown has been felt across the business, Hann has maintained that its operations remain stable. The company has continued to expand capacity and invest in facilities, signalling confidence in the medium- to long-term prospects of Clark and New Clark City as leisure and gaming hubs.
Online gaming partnership with PhilWeb
Alongside its land-based expansion, Hann Resorts has moved to strengthen its digital presence. In January, PhilWeb Corporation disclosed a partnership with Hann Resorts to operate and manage Hann’s regulated online gaming platform in the Philippines.
Under the arrangement, PhilWeb provides technical systems and operational support, drawing on its experience in the local gaming sector. Hann Resorts retains oversight of the online business and remains responsible for regulatory compliance, governance, and responsible gaming standards.
Hann operates its online gaming activities under a Philippine Inland Gaming Operators (PIGO) licence issued by PAGCOR, allowing it to offer regulated online products alongside its physical casino operations.
