Wynn Resorts, a US-based developer and operator of high-end hotels and casinos, has announced that construction work has resumed at its premium development on the Al Marjan Island in the northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah following a short pause. 

All necessary steps have been taken to ensure the safety and security of all employees working on site, said a statement from Wynn Resorts.

The company said it continues to be in regular touch with both the US and UAE governments in order to make informed decisions amid the ongoing Middle East conflict. 

The Wynn Design and Development team overseeing the construction, architecture, and design of project, and the resort executive team leading operational strategy and planning, have been able to continue their work in a consistent manner. 

"The company believes the broad defence posture of the UAE has worked extremely well, and we have confidence in the UAE's ability to keep its population safe," said a spokesman for Wynn Resorts.

"We note that for broad segments of the local population, business continues to follow normal patterns. Our project construction has resumed following a short pause. Steps have been taken to ensure the safety and security of all employees working on site," he stated.

Lauding the commitment of its UAE construction team and employees, the spokesman said: "Wynn employees have been offered the opportunity to work from abroad, if their home embassy recommends they do so." 

"We will continue to closely monitor the situation; any additional impacts on the project will be assessed in due course," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
