I think it probably will be....the hotel includes a casino, and I think 'casino resorts*' are a big thing in Asia right now..they all want the same kind of success that Macao has had. However, if there is a casino resort on every corner, then they can't all make millions. It looks like a 'casino bubble' to me!
(Somehow, the more I hear about 'Happyland' the more depressed I become. The only benefit I can think of is if it is successful for Joe he may make sufficient millions to pay for a
real tribute centre for Michael in the USA).
(*See MGM Grand, Ho Tram Strip, Vietnam video below ... This resort was designed by Steelman Partners, who are also designing Happyland...this development is further away from Ho Chi Minh City ( 130km) and seems to be completed , or nearly so. )

An Australian company (Sanderson) has been contracted to design some of the Happyland attractions, and there are artist's impressions on their site....

Animatronics and a film and TV studio. None of these will be cheap!

Quote 'What AMERICAN INVESTORS? LOL!
I have a feeling that Joe Jackson is telling the good people of Vietnam, the same story he told the good people, and Mayor, of Gary, Indiana, because Lord knows that Joe Jackson doesn't have any money to invest in anything. He "probably" has those folks in Vietnam thinking that he is INVOLVED with the workings of Michael's estate. I certainly wouldn't put it past him, especially given his recent comments regarding how "it was Michael's mission to turn Neverland into an amusement park, and he (Joe Jackson) will now take over that mission." As if!' UNQUOTE
I think Joe and Dieter are probably involved so that the Happyland resort can use Michael's name / logos , whatever they can use, to help 'brand' this park as a 'Neverland' tribute. I have seen a number of nationalities mentioned on the website as being investors, including Russian and I think Cambodian.
