The integrated resort has received over 500 million visitors since opening in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Singapore – Marina Bay Sands (MBS)<\/strong> has announced that it has surpassed 500 million visitors<\/strong> since it opened in 2010. It recorded over 38 million visitors in 2024 and said that over 1.2 million delegates had attended meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a social media post, MBS said: “This milestone underscores our position as a global icon, attracting guests from around the world. It comes as we continue to transform our property and redefine our guest experiences. Our latest Annual Review details our exceptional performance last year, marked by record-breaking financial success, with EBITDA surpassing US$2bn for the first time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Paul Town<\/strong>, chief operating officer of MBS, said: \u201cThe reinvestment programme has been a profound journey of transformation, focusing on areas that we knew were critical to our guests and underdeveloped in the past. We have increased the number of high-value suites to 775, up from 180 previously, and elevated the service experience to match this new development. The repositioning allows us to actively engage with the premium customer segment on a much broader scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, MBS secured\u00a0a loan of SG$12bn (US$8.96bn)<\/a> to partially refinance an SG$4bn (US$3bn) facility from 2019 and the development of the second phase of the\u00a0MBS\u00a0integrated resort, which has seen projected costs rise from an original estimate of US$3.4bn in 2019 to US$8bn. The MBS expansion should be complete by June 2030 with an anticipated opening date in January 2031 after deadlines were pushed back several times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
