Kingson Sian -Chief Executive Officer at Travellers International Hotel Group, which owns and operates the gaming facility- said the company is trying to gain back the trust of the public.

According to the operator, closure of Resorts World Manila’s cost the company about USD 1.2M a day in lost gaming revenue. Hotel occupancy plunged to 40 percent from 90 percent and is now at about 60 percent. When the casino reopened on June 29, traffic was half of that before the attack.

“We’re spending a lot of time enhancing the overall security of the place and learning about what had happened,” claimed Sian in a report published by Bloomberg.

On June 2, a former patron burned gaming tables with fumes asphyxiating dozens before he killed himself. The company is under probe for the security breach that led to the attack and its gaming license was suspended for almost a month.

Travellers holds one of four integrated casino licenses issued by the Philippines government in 2008 to develop Manila’s Entertainment City and grab a bigger share of Asia’s rising gambling revenue.
