Bloomberry Resorts Corporation, which owns and operates Solaire Resort Entertainment City, has reported consolidated net revenue of Php11.9 billion ($212 million) in Q42023 for the Manila-based integrated destination resort that spreads across an 8.3-hectare site.
The figure, which marks a 3% year-on-year rise compared to 2022’s fourth quarter, was partially generated with the help of improved non-gaming revenue.
