@ 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:

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

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

#@ New Sea Bus and Helijet terminals.

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

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

#& Charity casinos contribute significantly to
non-profit societies,

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

Seaport Centre would establish links with
Gastown, Chinatown and surrounding

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

33 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.
