Positive outlook for Genting despite theme park delays

PETALING JAYA: Despite the likely delays of Genting Malaysia Bhd’s Skytropolis indoor theme park and 20th Century Fox attraction, the group’s outlook for the second half of financial year 2018 (FY18) remains positive, says RHB Research.

Visitor count to the hilltop resort increased by 21% year-on-year to 12.8 million as of June, due to the new facilities opened under the Genting Integrated Transformation Plan that included the SkyCasino, SkyAvenue mall and Awana Skyway cable car.
