NCT Group Tops Out Remaining Towers of Grand Ion Majestic in Genting Highlands
NCT Group of Companies (NCT Group) has announced the topping out of the remaining two towers of its Grand Ion Majestic (GIM) mixed development, located in Genting Highlands, Pahang. With a gross development value (GDV) of RM1.6 billion, GIM is a significant project comprising three towers that include a total of 1,885 serviced apartments and hotel rooms, as well as 17,800 sq ft of retail space.
Grand Ion Majestic: A Landmark Development
The first tower, the Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel, opened its doors in May this year and currently enjoys an average occupancy rate of 40%. The remaining two towers, now 95% complete, will house the 1,035-room 1001 Nights Hotel, part of the Trademark Collection by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The 1001 Nights Hotel is scheduled for a soft opening by the fourth quarter of this year.
Tee Yih Fung, Executive Vice President for Corporate Strategy and Business Development at Ion Majestic Hospitality Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of NCT Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the development.
A Unique Offering in Genting Highlands
“Today we celebrate a milestone for NCT’s Grand Ion Majestic with the launch of 1001 Nights Hotel, a Trademark Collection by Wyndham. This concept is specially crafted to cater to travelers who desire a unique experience to elevate the appeal of Genting Highlands and pique the curiosity of both domestic and international tourists,” said NCT Group Vice President of Finance Sae-Yap Atthakovit.
Boosting Tourism and Economic Growth
At the same event, Pahang State Executive Council for Unity, Tourism, and Culture Leong Yu Man highlighted the positive impact the unveiling of the 1001 Nights Hotel will have on the local tourism industry. Leong emphasized that this development would enhance Genting Highlands’ status as a prime tourist destination and increase its visitor capacity.
“This is the time for Genting Highlands to become a potential tourist destination and to increase its visitor capacity. At the same time, 1001 Nights Hotel has the potential to promote Genting Highlands as a new destination for the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry, wedding destination, and filming location,” Leong stated.
Future Prospects
The Grand Ion Majestic project represents NCT Group’s commitment to enhancing tourism infrastructure and providing unique experiences to visitors. The integration of the 1001 Nights Hotel into the development adds a distinctive charm and caters to the growing demand for high-quality accommodations in Genting Highlands.
With its strategic location and comprehensive amenities, Grand Ion Majestic is set to become a landmark development, contributing significantly to the local economy and tourism sector. As the project nears completion, it is poised to attract a diverse range of visitors, from leisure travelers to business delegates, thereby fostering a vibrant tourism ecosystem in the region.
The successful topping out of the remaining towers marks a significant milestone for NCT Group, reflecting its dedication to delivering exceptional developments that meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. The anticipated opening of the 1001 Nights Hotel later this year will further cement Genting Highlands’ reputation as a premier destination in Malaysia.
