Liu said such comments “hurt” the hotel’s personnel as well as the residents of Tinian.
Speaker Froilan C. Tenorio last week said Tinian Dynasty was struggling and might close anytime next year.
The $135 million Tinian Dynasty, which opened in 1998, has yet to make a profit.
But Liu said “Tinian Dynasty is doing okay. We have our ways to survive. Although not so easy, we have overcome many obstacles.”
Dynasty has hard-working employees, he added.
He said they are recovering their investment “slowly but surely.”
The charter flights to Tinian, he said, continue, especially those from China.
He expressed confidence that one day the island will receive regular flights as well.
Noting that a parole program is now made available by U.S. immigration authorities in the CNMI, more tourists from China can now visit Tinian, Liu said.
The Senate’s rejection of the Saipan casino bill, he added, eliminated a major threat to Dynasty.
