The state government of Queensland has invited proposals for a second casino in Gold Coast.

Tenders have been invited for a Global Tourism Hub, which focuses mainly on entertainment along with gambling. The tender period will end in April.

The tourism minister of the state Kate Jones said: “We want to see a new tourism product that sets the Gold Coast apart from the rest of the world.”

The winning bidder is likely to be announced in October.

“We expect a GTH to create more than 6000 local jobs and attract an extra million tourists (to the Gold Coast) each year,” Ms Jones added.

The bidders can suggest where they are planning to build a GBT. However, it is reliably learned that but consultants Price Waterhouse Coopers has already compiled a list of 11 sites around the Gold Coast for the purpose.
