Philippines.- Suntrust Home Developers Inc informed that will make a shift in business and focus on tourism after the agreement of its shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early November Suntrust delivered a statement where explained it would \u201cbuild and operate the hotel and areas of the casino\u201d on the \u201cWestside City Resorts\u201d project, on land near Manila Bay in the Philippine capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suntrust\u2019s primary purpose has been changed from real estate development to tourism-related businesses, including but not limited to \u201cacquiring, developing, improving and operating tourism-oriented facilities such as hotels, resorts, private clubs, leisure parks, entertainment centres, restaurants, food and beverage outlets, and other recreational facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suntrust is a 51-percent subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed Suncity Group Holdings Ltd.
