Discovery World Corp. (DWC) saw revenues in the nine months ended September surge by 300 percent on the back of improved occupancies and guest arrivals in flagship resorts Discovery Shores Boracay and Club Paradise Palawan.
In a regulatory filing, Tiu-led DWC chalked up revenues of P563.5 million, driven by higher room revenues and food & beverage revenues in the second quarter.
