Operations fall under Entertainment City Resorts Corporation (ECRC) following the 2025 corporate restructuring. Alliance Global directly holds 50%, while Westside Bayshore Holding controls the remaining 50%, with ownership divided between Travellers International Hotel Group (60%) and Suntrust Resort Holdings (40%). AGI and Travellers jointly hold an 80% economic interest.
The conglomerate was founded by Andrew L. Tan. Travellers, headed by Nilo Thaddeus Rodriguez, also operates Newport World Resorts. Suntrust was previously associated with LET Group. In 2025, developers estimated an additional US$300 million to US$450 million would be required to complete construction. ECRC secured PHP 16 billion in bridge financing, backed by affiliated companies.
Between January and September 2026, Travellers reported PHP 23.1 billion in net revenue, PHP 6.1 billion in EBITDA (+8%), and PHP 5.9 billion in non-gaming revenue (+16%). The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), chaired by Alejandro H. Tengco, oversees the market, while Wilma T. Eisma serves as President and Chief Operating Officer. Westside has yet to announce an exact opening date or its initial operational capacity.
