Recently, New York City officially welcomed its first-ever large-scale live casino. Even more surprisingly, the company that secured this coveted casino license is a Malaysian company—Genting Group. Why did New York City award a casino license to an Asian company? Why not a domestic American casino giant? And why are casinos increasingly becoming an integral part of the modern urban economy? From Genting Highlands in Malaysia to Queens, New York, this is not just a story of a company's international expansion, but also a story of how casino tourism is transforming the global tourism industry.
