Malaysia’s integrated resort, Resorts World Genting, has intensified its marketing efforts in Singapore, with special offers and exclusive gala events lined up just for holiday-makers coming from across the border.
The promotions are part of Resorts World Genting’s year-long 60th anniversary celebrations and coincide with Singapore’s 60th year of independence.
For the month of August, guests from Singapore can enjoy buy-one-free-one tickets to Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park and use them before September 14.
The SG60 Gala Dinner, created in partnership with Singapore travel agency, WTS Travel, promises an evening of culinary excellence and cultural spectacle as a tribute to the shared heritage of Singapore and Malaysia. It will be hosted on August 25 at the Genting International Convention Centre. This limited-capacity event is exclusive to Genting Rewards Card members.
Another Singapore-exclusive promotion is the 3D2N Resorts World Awana Gala Dinner Experience. Running from November 22 to 24, the weekend experience will bring guests into the restful rainforest setting of the rejuvenated Resorts World Awana property. The programme includes a gala dinner hosted by popular Singapore Malay radio station DJs at the Awana Wawasan Grand Ballroom, as well as a two-hour guided walk down the Awana Trail.
This package is available for booking through authorised travel partners in Singapore – WTS Travel, Transtar Travel, and EU Holidays.
Spencer Lee, executive vice president of sales, marketing and public relations at Resorts World Genting, said the Singapore market is valuable to the company. He noted that holiday-makers from Singapore are not only familiar with Resorts World Genting, they are also strong repeat visitors through generations and come with a strong spending power.
Arrivals from Singapore to the integrated resorts grows 10 per cent annually.
While Singaporean guests typically favour the complex’s Resort Hotel, Lee said more are booking the luxurious Crockfords, which is the one and only hotel in Malaysia to receive the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award for seven consecutive years.
“Our tagline, Enjoy More For A Lot Less, emphasises how far the strong Singapore dollar can stretch for our Singapore guests who are coming to Resorts World Genting. Singapore guests can enjoy a Forbes five-star hotel at a good price in Malaysian ringgit,” he remarked.
A check on the hotel website shows that a night’s stay in a superior room in Crockfords is priced at 1,483 ringgit (US$373) for non-members over the August 8 to 10 Singapore National Day weekend. In comparison, Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star-awarded hotels in Singapore command between S$1,450 (US$1,126) and S$10,000 per night for the same weekend.
Lee added that Singapore guests can enjoy a variety of experiences in the misty highlands, from nature-focused retreats at Resorts World Awana to high-energy entertainment at Resorts World Genting, and from gourmet indulgences to retail therapy. Furthermore, a new botanical themed attraction, Eufloria, is set to welcome guests in 1Q2026.
To highlight new developments and transformation across the integrated resort, Resorts World Genting will join the Travel Malaysia Fair from October 3 to 5 at the Singapore Expo, where travellers can also snag hot deals and exclusive gifts.
