Genting HK, who owns 44.9 percent of Travellers International Hotel Group, owner and operator of Resorts World Manila, reported its share of profit from the Philippines group totalled US$33.9 million, compared with US$52.4 million in 2014, largely as a result of the decrease in gaming volume during 2015.

Genting HK also reported its share of profit from NCLH amounted to US$2.9 million in 2015, as a result of the reduction of the group’s equity interest in NCLH.

Two new Dream vessels, Genting Dream and World Dream, will launch in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
