Westside Resort to open in Parañaque City by the end of the year

Resort is expected to offer 300 gaming tables and over 2,000 electronic gaming machines for both the mass and VIP markets

Newport World Resorts operator Travellers International Hotel Group has confirmed that its Westside Resort at the Manila Bayshore Integrated City in Parañaque City will open by the ‘year-end.’

The main hotel casino is expected to have over 300 gaming tables and over 2,000 electronic gaming machines for both the mass and VIP markets; over 450 five-star luxury hotel rooms and suites; a mall composed of food and beverage and retail units; and a parking facility with over 1,000 spaces.

The entertainment complex will also have a collection of theatres, including the Grand Opera House and three additional theatres: Apollo, Bohemia and Crown. 

The news came as the project’s owner, Alliance Global Group (AGI, delivered its results for the nine months to September 30, 2026.

Kevin Tan, President and Chief Executive of Alliance Global, said: “With Westside Resorts Manila set to open by year-end, we are adding new leisure capacity to a group that is already gaining momentum.”

Travellers International, the Group’s leisure and tourism arm and owner-operator of Newport World Resorts (NWR), delivered the Group’s most improved earnings performance in the first half as its revenue mix continued to shift. Attributable net income nearly doubled year-on-year to P568m, while EBITDA grew 13 per cent year-on-year to P4.4bn, supported by cost efficiencies and a higher-margin revenue mix. Net revenue reached P15.2bn, as strength in the resilient non-VIP segment and fast-growing non-gaming offerings more than offset a decline in volatile VIP volumes.

Non-gaming revenues grew 12 per cent year-on-year to P3.9bn as the NWR complex sustained higher room rates and stronger food and beverage sales. Non-VIP gross gaming revenue grew 6% to P9.6 billion over the period, reflecting the resilience of the segment and the growing contribution of its digital channels. With additional capacity from Westside Resorts Manila and Narra Palm Resorts and Villas scheduled to come on stream later this year, Travellers is positioned to build on this momentum.

“In a demanding global environment, the strength of this Group is its mix. Our recurring property income kept compounding, our gaming business grew earnings even as the industry moved away from VIP play, and our spirits continued to grow on a stronger portfolio. Diversified, high-quality earnings are what carry us through cycles, and that is where we continue to invest,” said Tan.
