It noted that, "Having successfully pioneered the integrated resort concept in the Philippines back in 2009, the well-established brand is taking a bold step into newer and bigger things." "The name change reflects a shift in perspective for the brand to present itself as the most innovative, dynamic, and comprehensive casino, hotels, and entertainment complex in the country," the firm said. "Newport World Resorts (NWR) is reinventing the brand to bring together its pioneering integrated resorts and the best of its community within the sprawling Newport City complex," it added. This came as Genting Hong Kong was undergoing liquidation and has been selling its assets. AGI had not yet bought out Genting from Travellers but had announced an infusion of P7.8 billion into the joint venture to help it meet obligations. Making the most of its two main wings, the Newport Grand Wing and the Newport Garden Wing, NWR's casino offers a wide array of gaming thrills.
