# Vancouver's current facilities are too small.

Vancouver needs larger convention, cruise-
ship, and hotel facilities to attract major
conventions and increase economic
spin-offs.

«If approved, Seaport Centre
would greatly expand our tourism
potential by providing:

## A new cruise ship terminal capable of
handling the world’s largest cruise ships.

An expanded Convention Centre and
new destination resort hotel, enabling
Vancouver to host conventions for as
many us 10,000 delegates.

A new Casino, uniquely designed by British
Columbians, providing entertainment
choices to rival London, Paris, Sydney,
Las Vegas and Monte Carlo.

8 New Sea Bus and Helijet terminals.

TA PROJECT
LIKE SEAPORT CENTRI

Seaport Centre is
much more than a casino in
downtown Vancouver...

If approved, Seaport Centre would:
& Be funded totally by private sector capital,
requiring no public funds for either
construction or operation.
#4 Generate $250 million in annual new tax
revenues for three levels of government.

44 Charity casinos contribute significantly to
non-profit societies,

%t The Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Seaport Centre simply will not proceed
with a venture that will harm charitable
organizations. We mean that.

AAR CAS eT,

#@ Seaport Centre would establish links with
Gastown, Chinatown and surrounding
communities.

@ Recognizing their special concerns,
Seaport Centre has offered to negotiate a
“social contract” with the downtown east-
side community

The commitment to redevelop the vacant
Woodward's building in a manner that
responds to the needs of the community is
but the first step.

% In order to privately fund a tourism project
of this magnitude, the income from the
casino is essential. The casino would be
owned and regulated by the provincial
government.
