We were integrating marketing efforts, automating and streamlining processes to enhance productivity. Together with these efforts, a significant investment will be made for a technological refresh that will embrace the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency and create personalised experiences. These projects will stretch into 2025\/26. With the deployment of these technological advancements, earnings will exhibit good incremental results from the full launch of RWS 1.5 in the third quarter of 2025 (\u201cQ3 2025\u201d) onwards. We remain agile, staying ahead of tourism trends by enhancing our existing offerings with innovative events and experiences. These efforts support the resilience of our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As we forge ahead, we remain committed to our RWS 2.0 transformative investments to further strengthen our reputation as the region\u2019s premier destination, while driving strong sustainable growth for our stakeholders. On 14th February, we opened Universal Studios Singapore\u2019s new themed zone, Illumination\u2019s Minion Land. This will be followed by the opening of a super luxury all-suite hotel and the Singapore Oceanarium in Q3 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At the group level, we note that the Thai cabinet has given approval-in-principle to a draft Entertainment Complex Business Act on 13 January 2025, which could pave the way for the legalisation of casinos in Thailand. We are closely monitoring the development and will continue to evaluate and explore geographical diversification opportunities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/12\/1638455622Marina-Bay-Sands-300x200.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\"><span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/marina-bay-sands-net-revenue-rises-in-q4\">Marina Bay Sands net revenue rises in Q4<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Net profit declined 5 per cent in year-on-year terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":25660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Genting Singapore reported a 5% decline in net profit for 2024 despite a revenue increase, attributing the dip to rising costs and inflationary pressures.
