It will increase the number of available rooms to 500 from 350 &quot;over the next couple of months,&quot; said managing director Steve Wolstenholme.The permanent stores will replace the current &quot;pop-up&quot; stands. Wolstenholme said the casino-resort would have some 50 retailers by the end of 2019.&quot;We want to do it right. We may be compromising our return on investment in the short term, but we’re looking out for the long term,&quot; he said.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/12/18/17/look-okada-opens-biggest-indoor-beach-and-night-club-in-ph">Okada opens biggest indoor beach and night club in PH</a></li>	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/02/09/18/okada-opens-kids-facility-with-little-town-sports-zone">Okada opens kids facility with little town, sports zone</a></li></ul>Gaming is not the sole driver of growth in the Philippines&#x27; casino resorts, he said. &quot;A gaming table’s just a gaming table. It’s driven by a much bigger picture, that is, how Manila is perceived. And as important, how the administration is supporting the growth in visitation and tourism,&quot; he said.

Okada Manila will open permanent retail stores by mid-year, part of the "staggered" roll out of facilities to hit its target of 50,000 customers per day, an official said Tuesday.
