Travellers International Hotel Group Inc, operator of the Newport World Resorts casino and leisure complex in the Philippine capital Manila, recorded total gross revenue of PHP28.6 billion (US$484.6 million) in the first nine months of the year. That was down from the PHP29.7 billion achieved in the prior-year period.
Of the total, gross gaming revenue (GGR) reached PHP23.5 billion, a 3.3-percent decline from a year earlier, according to a Wednesday filing from the parent, Philippine conglomerate Alliance Global Group Inc.
Non-gaming revenue – mainly from the firm’s hotels, retail and food and drinks operations – amounted to PHP5.1 billion, down from PHP5.4 billion a year ago.
The performance in the year to September 30 was “backed by increased foot traffic at the Newport World Resorts complex,” stated the parent in a filing to the Philippine Stock Exchange.
In the third quarter of 2025, GGR rose 7 percent quarter-on-quarter, “as both mass and VIP GGR improved from the previous quarter’s levels on better win rate and steady mass volume,” it added.
Alliance Global said attributable net income at Travellers International “grew markedly by 31-percent year-on-year, to PHP651 million, benefitting as well from its ongoing cost management measures”.
Newport World Resorts currently has five international hotel brands: Marriott Manila Hotel, Sheraton Manila Hotel, Hilton Manila, Hotel Okura Manila, and Holiday Inn Express Manila. It offers a total of 2,742 guest rooms.
Alliance Global said in June that it planned to allocate PHP5 billion this year to Travellers International, for “ongoing expansion projects” at Newport World Resorts. That includes the development of a 157-room The Narra Palm Hotel and Villa.
Travellers International is also involved in the development of the US$1.25-billion Westside City casino resort in Manila.
Alliance Global on Wednesday posted net income of PHP24.8 billion for the first nine months of 2025, on revenue that reached PHP143.4 billion.
Kevin Tan, president and chief executive of Alliance Global, said the “robust performance” in the first three quarters of 2025 was “largely due” to the group’s “diversified business portfolio and product mix”.
He added: “During the period, we saw a sequential improvement in office and mall rentals, and steady contribution from our residential and hospitality segments.”
