Visitor numbers in Genting Malaysia could come under pressure

KUALA LUMPUR: Visitor traffic to Genting Malaysia Bhd could remain subdued despite the restart of its Malaysian operations as there will be social distancing requirements limiting the capacity, says Affin Hwang Capital research.

"While the re-opening is likely to welcome an influx of visitation at the beginning, we believe that the momentum is unlikely to be sustainable, as GENM will need to limit the number of patrons in the casino to ensure social distancing practices are in place.
