The Marine Life Park, the Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium and two more hotels are being added to the resort. “As Resorts World Sentosa continues to grow and add new hotels and attractions to its offerings, we are confident that Trust is the right choice for our new CRS provider,” says Andrew Hickey, Vice President of Rooms at the mega-resort. “Trust offers us the forward-thinking international and technological experience and responsive customer service we need to help meet our strategic goals.” “Trust has developed several new products and enhancements to yourVoyager CRS this year that offer our partners the most advanced technology available to increase their productivity and bookings, while improving their bottom line,” explains Richard Wiegmann, Managing Director, Trust International. “Resorts World Sentosa has been driving phenomenal expansion and increased bookings.
