According to a filing by AGI with the Philippine Stock Exchange, Newport World Resorts Properties, Inc., a subsidiary of AGI, has announced that it will acquire the shares held by Star Cruises Philippines Holdings B.V., Asian Travellers Ltd, and Premium Travellers Ltd, all formerly part of the Genting Hong Kong Group, in Newport World Resorts operator Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (TIHGI).
After finalizing the deal, Genting Hong Kong’s stake in TIHGI and associated entities is set to end.
