History

The idea of creating a hill resort located in proximity to Kuala Lumpur came up in the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's mind during a business trip to the Cameron Highlands in 1964. He mooted this idea while enjoying the fresh and crisp air from the balcony at his hotel room.

Subsequently, a study of the maps and Kuala Lumpur’s vicinity located the ideal site - the 1,800-metre Gunung Ulu Kali, just 55 km from Kuala Lumpur. Tan Sri Lim then set to transform a remote mountain area amidst the dense virgin tropical jungle and rugged terrain into a holiday destination.

A private company called Genting Highlands Berhad was set up on 27 April 1965, with the late Tan Sri Haji Mohammed Noah bin Omar, Tan Sri Lim successfully obtained approval for the alienation of 12,000 acres (49 km²) and 2,800 acres (11 km²) of land from the Pahang and Selangor State Government respectively between the years 1965 and 1970. An anomaly happened during the obtaining of the land approvals. While the Pahang state government swiftly approved a freehold lease, the Selangor state reluctantly approved a 99-year lease. As a result, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong met the then Mentri Besar of Selangor, Dato Harun Idris and telling him that a freehold lease will be more feasible than a 99-year lease. Finally, the Selangor state government agreed to grant a freehold lease.

On 18 August 1965, a technical and construction team began the herculean task that would take four years to complete the access road from Genting Sempah to the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali.

On 31 March 1969, the late YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia’s first Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for the company’s pioneer hotel, the then Highlands Hotel, marking the completion of the access road to Genting Highlands Resort. The Prime Minister was impressed that the private sector, without the assistance of the Government, could develop a mountain resort for the enjoyment of all Malaysians^{[citation needed]}; subsequently a gaming licence was suggested to help accelerate the development of this remote area.

In 1971, the first hotel at Genting Highlands was successfully completed and was then named Highlands Hotel (now renamed Theme Park Hotel).

The Genting Highlands Resort continued to expand since the opening of the first hotel in 1971. Development of the area continued with care taken to ensure the maintenance of the natural beauty of the rainforest of the region.^{[citation needed]}

To date, Genting Highlands Resort has six hotels (namely Maxims, Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Resort Hotel, Theme Park Hotel and First World Hotel) and two apartment blocks (Ria and Kayangan Apartments) at the hilltop and Awana Genting Highlands Golf and Country Resort.

In 1997, Genting Highlands Resort further boosted its facility attraction with Genting Skyway cable car system that provides a 3.38 km transport to the hilltop. Genting Skyway is also recognised as the 'World's Fastest Mono Cable Car System' with a maximum speed of 21.6 km per hour and the 'Longest Cable Car in Malaysia and Southeast Asia'.^{[citation needed]}

THE GENTING STORY

It all began in 1965 with Genting Highlands Resort on the lush, tropical highlands of Malaysia. Our ambitious founder, the late Tan Sri (Dr.) Lim Goh Tong, transformed 10,000 acres of dense, impenetrable forest, 6,000 feet above sea level, into the largest resort in the world.

Today, this magnificent resort is called Resorts World Genting and is one of Malaysia’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting almost 20 million visitors a year.

HOSPITALITY ON A GRAND SCALE

You can choose from the resort’s five hotels, offering around 10,000 rooms in total. They include Maxims Hotel, Genting Grand, Resort Hotel, Awana and First World Hotel – one of the world’s largest hotels with 6,118 rooms.

There’s also a stunning casino, an 18-hole golf course, more than 200 dining and retail outlets, mega shows, business convention facilities and endless entertainment. All at this one resort, where the longest cable car system in Southeast Asia, spanning 3.38 km, whisks you to its breath taking hilltop location. In 2017 the world’s first Fox Studios theme park will open in Genting Highlands.

This highly acclaimed resort was just the beginning, however. Genting Malaysia has two other beautiful seaside properties, known as Awana Hotels & Resorts, and Genting’s gaming, leisure and hospitality business has grown across the world.

RESORTS AROUND THE GLOBE

Genting now has several Resorts Worlds. These include Resorts World Manila in the Philippines, Resorts World Bimini in the Bahamas, Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, Resorts World New York with Resorts World Las Vegas due to open in 2017.

In late summer 2016 we shall be opening Crockfords Cairo in the heart of the Egyptian capital.

ELEGANT CRUISES

We’ve also made our mark on the cruise industry. Genting owns the Crystal Cruises, and Star Cruises operating in Asia, North America and the Caribbean.

CLUBS AND CASINOS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

In the 1990s, we spread our wings even further, establishing ourselves as a global multinational with interests ranging from plantations to property, biotechnology, power generation, and oil and gas. Although leisure and hospitality remain our core business.

Today, the Genting Group, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, has five public-listed companies on the Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia stock exchanges.

We’ve come a long way since Tan Sri (Dr.) Lim Goh Tong began this colossal journey in the highlands of Malaysia!

WE HAVE ALSO MADE OUR MARK ON THE GLOBAL CRUISE INDUSTRY
