Why Genting Highlands the Best Travel Destination?
Genting Malaysia is principally involved in the leisure and hospitality business covering theme parks, gaming, hotels, seaside resorts and entertainment for over 50 years.
With about 10,500 rooms across seven distinct hotels, Resorts World Genting (“RWG”) is Malaysia’s premier integrated resort destination. The resort also features wide-ranging leisure and entertainment facilities, including gaming, theme park and amusement attractions, dining and retail outlets, as well as international shows and business convention facilities. Genting Highlands Premium Outlets (a joint venture between Genting Plantations Berhad and Simon Property Group) at the mid-hill further complements the various attractions at RWG. Additionally, the new outdoor theme park will add to RWG’s extensive entertainment offerings upon completion.
Genting Malaysia also owns and operates two beautiful seaside properties, namely Resorts World Kijal in Terengganu and Resorts World Langkawi on Langkawi Island.
Who owns Genting Highlands Malaysia?
Resorts World Sdn Bhd, a private company limited by shares, was incorporated on 7 May 1980 under the Companies Act 1965. Upon conversion into a public company in 1989, its name was changed to Resorts World Bhd (1989 – 2009), and subsequently Genting Malaysia Berhad (“Genting Malaysia”), Registration No. 198001004236 (58019-U). In 1989, Genting Berhad and Genting Malaysia underwent a restructuring exercise, which resulted in Genting Malaysia acquiring from Genting Berhad its entire gaming, hotel and resort-related operations, inclusive of goodwill and other relevant assets. Genting Malaysia’s shares have been traded on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia since its listing on 22 December 1989.
