Why do Foreign Travelers Love Visiting Genting?

June 30, 2022 By StrawberrY Gal - Hotel News Leave a Comment

Malaysia is loaded with hidden gems and some great sites that attract tourists from all over the globe. Among foreigners, Langwaki, George Town, and Kuala Lumpur are the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Tourists visiting Malaysia get to experience both ultramodern and colonial buildings. One of the most visited ultramodern buildings is doubtlessly the Petronas Tower.

The Petronas Towers was the tallest building in the world from 1998 until 2004. Located in Kuala Lumpur, the Petronas Tower is visited by thousands of foreigners every year. Those who visit Kuala Lumpur also enjoy visiting the KLCC Park, located very near the Petronas Towers. The park is a massive fifty-acre sanctuary packed with over two thousand different palm species and other plants that are indigenous to this area.

One of the main attractions of the park is Lake Symphony. This is a large artificial lake with a forty-three-meter bridge. Lake Symphony also has many colorful fountains, the biggest of which shoots water over one hundred and eighty meters into the sky. Another top-rated tourist attraction in Kuala Lumpur is the primary bird park covering over twenty acres of land. This is the biggest park of this kind in the world.

The Petaling Street, Merdeka Square, Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Kuala Lumpur Tower and National Museum are just some of many other excellent tourist sites in Malaysia’s capital city. When discussing the most visited places in Malaysia, we also have to mention one of the world’s most luxurious casino and hotel resorts, Resorts World Genting.

Genting Casino Gambling Scene – Resorts World Genting

 

While you may not think of Malaysia as one of the premier casino gambling destinations in the world, the truth is that this southeastern Asian country has many tourists who visit just to enjoy some awesome land-based gambling fun.

Compared to many other countries with land-based casinos, Malaysia has some of the strictest gambling laws and regulations. When it comes to online gambling, it is heavily restricted but not illegal in most forms. If you are looking for trusted online casinos in Malaysia, BestCasinoSites.net has got you covered.

According to the primary gambling law, gambling activities in Malaysia are only legal if valid permits have been granted by the Malaysian authority, which in this case is the Malaysian Ministry of Finance. There are not many land-based casinos in Malaysia. 

Currently, the Selangor Turf Club, Penang Turf Club, Perak Turf Club, and Resorts World Genting offer some casino games to foreigners. However, the only legal gambling venue in the country is Resorts World Genting.

Formerly known as Highlands Resort, Resorts World Genting is one of the most luxurious, fully integrated casino and hotel resorts in the world. The complex is located at Genting Highlands in Bentong, Pahang. It opened its doors over fifty years ago, on the 27th of April, 1965.

Genting Highlands is a massive hill station located over one thousand and eight hundred meters above sea level. The hill station was established by Lim Gog Tong, who was a very wealthy Chinese businessman.

Resorts World Genting has a massive gambling space of over 200,000 square feet. There are two different casinos located within the resort, SkyCasino located in SkyAvenue Mall and Genting Casino located in the main complex area of Genting Grand. Both casinos cater to foreigners who prefer classic table and card games.

Some of the games available at Genting Casino are Classic Blackjack, Classic Baccarat, Mini Dice, Three Pictures, Genting Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Tai Sia, Zodiac Wheel, Classic Roulette, Progressive Texas Hold’em Poker, Pontoon, and French Boule. sky casino is equally packed with roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker games. 

Both casinos have awesome VIP Loyalty Programs that offer the most loyal customers an unrivaled gaming experience through different loyalty perks and benefits. In addition, both casinos accept deposits made via mobile apps, which adds to the overall convenience factor.

Why Tourists Love Visiting Resorts World Genting 

 

The entire Genting Highlands complex has several popular tourist attractions, but the most visited venue is the fully integrated hotel and casino complex known as Resorts World Genting. Resorts World Genting is owned and Genting Group ad Genting Malaysia Berhad. In 2013, the complex was renovated to include 10,466 rooms across seven hotels.

One of these is First World Hotel which is the largest hotel in the world, with 7,351 hotel rooms and suites. Aside from First World Hotel, the complex consists of six other accommodation venues, including Genting Grand Hotel, Awan, Genting SkyWorlds Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Resort Hotel, and Crockfords, which opened relatively recently in 2017.

Resorts World Genting, often called Asian Las Vegas, has a lot more to offer. The Genting SkyWorlds is one of the biggest amusement parks in the world, and it is located within the complex. The amusement park was previously called the 29th Century Fox World. When discussing the most visited Resorts World Genting attractions, we also have to mention Skytropolis Funland, yet another amusement park within the complex.

Skytropolis Funland offers the most immersive VR attractions, while it also has some retro attractions that mimic those found at SkyWorlds. SkyWorld was formerly known as First World Plaza Theme Park. The indoor theme park opened in 2001 and eventually closed in 2017 for renovation. The park officially opened its doors to visitors in 2018.

Resorts World Genting also caters to those who enjoy shopping. The resort is packed with loads of Genting Premium Outlets with stores such as Adidas, Aigner, Absolute Thai Highlands, Akemi, Animation World, Anta, Armani, Asics, B.Space, Austin Reed, Baskin-Robbins, Bonia, Boss, Beauty Scents, Ball Watch, Braun Buffel, Brooks Brothers Factory Store, Burberry, Camel, Calvin Klein, Carlo Rino, Charles & Keith, Clarks, Coach, and numerous others.

Some of the most luxurious restaurants and dining spots can also be found within the complex. One of the most popular dining places is Imperial Rama which offers both takeaway and dine-in options. The Olive, Taiwan Little Chef Bento, Spice Garde, Cha Chaan Teng, Genting Garden Hotpot, Malaysian Food Street, Genting Palace, C Chuan Village, Thai, Burger & Lobster, Motorino Pizzeria, and Maxims Platinum Club Restaurant are also very popular among foreigners who want to try out local, Italian, and Asian cuisine, as well as the world-famous mooncakes, which are a true specialty. 

When we add all of these different amenities Malaysia’s premier fully-integrated casino and hotel resort offers, there is no wonder why foreigners enjoy visiting Genting any time of the year. According to the latest reports, Resorts World Genting expects over thirty million visitors by the end of this year. This is definitely possible considering the complex welcomed over twenty-five million visitors four years ago.
