A business empire associated with Kings Romans Casino in Laos has resumed construction on an airport in Bokeo province in an effort to boost tourism. The move is controversial due to the gaming property owner’s reputation for alleged human trafficking, illegal trade, and money laundering, according to
Radio Free Asia.
