GENDA GiGO Entertainment, Inc. announces the establishment of its overseas branch, GiGO Vietnam (hereinafter referred to as GiGO Vietnam), headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on Friday, June 28, 2024.
Expanding amusement facilities operations through "GiGO Vietnam".
GiGO Vietnam was established for the purpose of operating the "GiGO" brand of amusement facilities, and is the company's first local subsidiary in Southeast Asia.
The reason for establishing a subsidiary in Vietnam is that Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country with a population of approximately 100 million, 88% of Japan's land area, and a long land shape from north to south, all of which are similar to those of Japan. The real GDP growth rate in 2023 (estimated value) is 5.05% compared to the previous year (according to the General Department of Statistics of Vietnam), and the country is expected to continue to develop economically in the future.
The average age of the population is very young ( 33.3 years old), and the smartphone penetration rate is high. GENDA GiGO Entertainment's amusement facility operation business in the country is expected to attract potential customers. GENDA GiGO Entertainment hopes to use this opportunity to expand its business in Southeast Asia and beyond.
