Under [[Party of Corummese Democrats|PCD]] rule, the construction of casinos on the island has been heavily promoted with the first casinos opened in the early 2000's. The gambling industry has seen an exponential growth in the last decade and its become one of the largest sources of revenue for the regional administration. The increased stream of revenue has fueled a construction boom and the expansion of the tourism industry, with luxury hotels, condominium complexes and shopping malls catering to rich foreigners being built at an accelerated pace.
