The company reported a 55% drop in net profit for Q1 2025, attributed to rising costs and reduced tourist spending. Recent additions include BODHI Spa and QUAN Hotpot, part of a SGD6.8 billion RWS 2.0 development aimed at expanding attractions and improving visitor experience. RWS plans to focus on food, lifestyle, and entertainment to attract both tourists and locals."

# Genting Singapore spa and restaurant services as Middle East tensions hit profits

Among the latest attractions launched in recent months are the BODHI Spa at The Laurus hotel, the QUAN Hotpot restaurant and new tenants including People People Brewing Co., according to RWS’s media channels. The resort has also launched attraction season passes to incentivize repeat visits.

The moves came after Genting Singapore reported that the continuing hostilities in the Middle East have inflated energy, freight and logistics costs throughout supply chains, while steeper airfares have curbed tourist arrivals and visitor spending at the resort.

It reported a 55% decline in net profit to SGD65.2 million (US$51.3 million) for the first quarter ended March 31, against the same period in 2025, while revenue edged down 3% to SGD607.6 million, according to _The Business Times._

The latest openings were part of a bigger agenda. Since 2019, Genting Singapore has committed billions of dollars to RWS 2.0, a SGD6.8 billion development aimed at expanding the integrated resort's gross floor area by 50% through new attractions, luxury hotels and lifestyle offerings.

Last year, RWS completed and unveiled several major attractions to bolster its non-gaming appeal, among them permanent additions such as Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore and the Singapore Oceanarium.

The resort also opened Weave, a lifestyle mall featuring more than 40 retail and dining concepts, including the first Southeast Asian outlet of French macaron brand Pierre Hermé Paris.

Genting Singapore said it will press ahead with hotel upgrades, new concepts, amenities and technology investments at RWS to sharpen operational efficiency and enhance the visitor experience.

These planned upgrades are part of a change in business strategy. RWS chief executive Lee Shi Ruh told _The Straits Times_ earlier that many visitors, Singaporeans in particular, have stayed away from the complex for years, and winning them back will be pivotal to the integrated resort's next stage of growth.

"To bring people back, they need to feel that this is a place they can hang out with family and friends, with something new every two to three weeks," she said, adding that RWS also wants to be a place where locals go regularly to experience new things.

Lee said recapturing the gaming crowd hinges largely on strengthening the broader environment surrounding it: giving guests compelling reasons to linger, return and introduce others to the resort.

She added that RWS has no intention of mirroring Marina Bay Sands' luxury retail model, instead aiming to build a distinct proposition anchored in food, lifestyle and entertainment.

"In the past, some guests came to gamble and then left straight away. How do you bring gamers back? We want them to feel there is more to do – eat, drink, socialize and spend time with family and friends," she said.
