The MRP Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of City of Dreams Manila, has funded the redevelopment of Caloocan’s People’s Park, advancing a broader green space initiative in Metro Manila. In a densely populated urban environment where accessible parks are limited, the project enhances community infrastructure while reinforcing the resort’s long-term social commitment beyond Entertainment City.
In 2026, the global Integrated Resort (IR) industry isn’t just observing Singapore — it’s recalibrating against it.
Singapore recorded approximately 1.5 million visitor arrivals in January, marking an 8% year-on-year decline. The drop was primarily attributed to weaker arrivals from mainland China and Indonesia — traditionally two of Singapore’s most significant inbound markets. The softer start to the year reflects shifting travel patterns, currency considerations and seasonal timing factors around Lunar New Year.
