Queenco Leisure, the hotel and casino operator, is moving into Cambodia.

It today signed a joint-venture deal with Paradise Investment to open a hotel, casino, restaurant and karaoke premises.

This is Queenco's first move into Asia, though it has businesses in Greece, Belgrade and Bucharest. It will own 70% of the Cambodian venture, which will initially be based at the Holiday Palace Hotel in Sihanoukville in Cambodia.

Queenco is to pay for renovations to the property, including the development of a new wing for the hotel. A long-term lease of 25 years has been agreed, with an option for a further 25 after that should the venture prove a success.

The shares on the London Stock Exchange were unchanged at 3.39p.

In the six months to June, Queenco, led by chairman Yigal Zilkha, reported a near €14 million fall in sales to €82 million (£69 million).

The company plunged into the red, losing €10.7 million compared to a €2.4 million profit the previous year.
