With renewed optimism on Chinese tourism, a couple of sectors will benefit which includes airlines, hotels, entertainment and retail sector.
$SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD(C6L.SI)$, being the best airline globally, will benefit from easing travel restriction increasing flight frequency to China. Its record operating profit is a testament of airlines being one of the greatest beneficiaries of reopening.
Based on Singapore Tourism Board’s insights on Chinese travelers, the predominant activities are shopping, casino and sight-seeing. $GENTING SINGAPORE LIMITED(G13.SI)$ provides a one-stop integrated resort that offers gambling (casino), attractions (Universal Studios, Sea Aquarium) & various dining options.
The recovery of visitors have boosted Genting’s profit by 85% a year ago, with its gaming revenue up by over 100% and non-gaming revenue nearby doubled.
Hotels will also benefit though lesser due to the no. of excellent choices available in SG. For e.g. $Ascott Trust(HMN.SI)$.
