Genting Malaysia Berhad

Genting Malaysia Berhad is a Malaysian leisure, hospitality and entertainment company within the Genting Group. Its principal operating identity is associated with Resorts World Genting, the large hilltop resort at Genting Highlands, where the company manages a broad combination of accommodation, amusement, gaming, dining and entertainment activities. The business is structured around the integrated-resort model: visitors can stay in hotels, use recreational and amusement facilities, dine, attend entertainment venues and access gaming facilities within a connected destination rather than purchasing a single isolated service. The company’s roots date to 1980. A major organizational change occurred in 1989, when Genting Group and Resorts World Bhd undertook a restructuring in which Resorts World Bhd acquired Genting Group’s gaming, hotel and resort-related operations, together with associated goodwill and other relevant assets. Resorts World Bhd operated as a subsidiary of Genting Berhad within the group’s leisure and hospitality activities. The restructuring provided the corporate basis for the company’s later role as an operator of resort and gaming assets. At Genting Highlands, the company’s activities cover tourism and resort operations, amusement, gaming, hotels and entertainment. The resort accommodation portfolio described in reference material includes Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Theme Park Hotel, Resort Hotel, Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort and First World Hotel. The resort is commonly discussed as a single destination under the Resorts World Genting name, although different properties and facilities may be held or operated by separate group entities. In particular, First World Hotel and First World Plaza are identified as being under First World Hotel & Resort Sdn Bhd rather than the same operating entity as every other Genting Highlands activity. Genting Malaysia also has an international operating footprint extending beyond Malaysia, with activities and investments connected with leisure and hospitality markets in Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and The Bahamas. Its international scope complements the Malaysian resort base and positions the company as a multinational operator rather than solely a domestic hotel business. The brand’s positioning is centered on destination entertainment and integrated hospitality. Its offer combines resort lodging with attractions, food and beverage, gaming and live or venue-based entertainment. Resorts World Genting is the flagship expression of that positioning and is closely associated with Genting Malaysia in public perception, while the company’s corporate scope encompasses a wider portfolio of resort-related operations. Genting Malaysia is listed in Malaysia under the ticker GENM and remains an active company.

Genting Malaysia Berhad’s history is closely tied to the development of the Genting Group’s leisure and hospitality business in Malaysia. The company began in 1980, providing a corporate vehicle for resort-related activities associated with Genting Highlands. The business was built around a destination-resort concept in which hotel accommodation, amusement, gaming, dining and entertainment could be offered together to tourists and local visitors. A decisive corporate transition took place in 1989. Genting Group and Resorts World Bhd carried out a restructuring exercise under which Resorts World Bhd acquired Genting Group’s entire gaming, hotel and resort-related operations, including goodwill and other relevant assets. Resorts World Bhd was described as a subsidiary of Genting Berhad and part of the group’s leisure and hospitality division. This restructuring consolidated the operating assets and helped establish the corporate framework through which the Genting Highlands resort business was managed. The resort operation at Genting Highlands subsequently developed as a multi-component tourism and entertainment destination. Its activities included amusement facilities, gaming, hotels and entertainment, rather than being limited to casino operations. The accommodation portfolio identified in reference material included Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Theme Park Hotel, Resort Hotel, Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort and First World Hotel. These properties supported the resort’s role as a substantial visitor destination with multiple price points and types of accommodation. The name Resorts World Genting is widely used for the overall destination, but the corporate ownership and operating arrangements are not completely represented by a single legal entity. First World Hotel and First World Plaza are identified as being operated or held under First World Hotel & Resort Sdn Bhd, while other Genting Highlands activities are associated with Resorts World Bhd and related group companies. The combined destination has therefore been presented as Genting Highlands Resorts, with the slogan “Genting – City of Entertainment.” Over time, Genting Malaysia’s business scope extended beyond the Malaysian highlands through international leisure and hospitality activities and investments. The company’s operating markets include Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and The Bahamas. This international reach broadened the company’s exposure to different tourism and entertainment markets while retaining Resorts World Genting as its most recognizable Malaysian operating platform. The company is listed on Bursa Malaysia under the ticker GENM. Its contemporary identity remains that of a Genting Group leisure and hospitality company, with integrated resorts at the center of its business model. Public recognition of the brand is strongly connected to Genting Highlands, but the corporate business also encompasses overseas operations and a range of resort, hotel, amusement, gaming, dining and entertainment activities.
