When Resorts World Genting was founded in 1965, its biggest task was to build a 20-kilometre access road through rugged terrain from the foothills to the summit. What should have taken 15 years to complete, according to surveyors, was done in only 3 years. 

When Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman first visited, he said he was greatly impressed by our founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong’s efforts to develop the area without government help. 

Since then, we have worked on improving and maintaining the road, and what you see today is a 24km stretch of pristine private road that connects the thriving community that now calls Genting Highlands their home. 

From Genting Sempah to the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali, more than 7 million vehicles head up to Resorts World Genting every year, not including vehicles that use the road to get to other destinations. 


This causes a lot of wear and tear, and between 2017 and 2023, we spent more than RM80 million on improvements, repair, and maintenance and about RM47 million on slope monitoring, maintenance, and repair. 

Over the years, the Genting group has invested almost RM390 million, if not more, into constructing, upgrading and maintaining the Genting Main Road since its inception in 1965.

We love our roads, and we take the responsibility of maintaining it seriously. Our teams, stationed at mid-hill and hilltop, are on standby 24/7 for any contingencies with trained emergency response teams in case of mishaps and accidents. 

The Genting Main Road has enabled the tourism industry to grow and thrive in Genting Highlands, contributing opportunities for enterprise and employment, creating a vibrant local economy and contributing to the Pahang state economy.


 


Resorts World Genting has been a significant contributor to the tourism sector economy, providing jobs to over 10,000 Malaysians each year. 

Due to the resort's popularity, various businesses have also arisen in the area, including many property development plans that branch out further into the mountains from the Genting Main Road. 

Like our roads, we were responsible for building Genting Highland’s original water reservoir before building a dam costing RM 38 million in 2018. 

 


We recently collaborated with the government to build the Gohtong Jaya Fire and Rescue Station and Quarters. The construction of this new fire station will ensure a quicker and more effective response in the event of fire or other emergencies.

While the fire station and quarters were one of our most recent collaborations with the government, we’ve also been responsible for setting up the mountain’s first police station and its sanitation and sewerage infrastructure. 

We believe that a rising tide raises all boats, so we have cared and continue caring for the local community growing around us.  


 


Of the 10,000 acres of land owned by Resorts World Genting less than 10% has been used for development and 90% is protected land. Through our Genting Nature Adventures arm, we’re educating the next generation of visitors to Genting Highland about the importance of our natural surroundings. 

As far back as 1997, when the first cable car was being built, the Genting Skyway cable car, the felling of trees was minimised, and the building materials were also airlifted to the site by helicopter. 

Throughout the resort, exposed surfaces and slopes were planted with turf and hydroseeding to minimise soil erosion, a practice that continues today with Genting Nature Adventures where companies have been invited to sponsor our verging efforts that prevent and reduce erosion that may cause landslides. 


We designated three types of forests as Biodiversity Parks to achieve comprehensive biodiversity conservation and safeguard unused rainforests. This initiative develops features for biodiversity tourism and streamlines data collection for our sustainability initiatives. 

Different forest and habitat preservation programmes are underway at each park. We conduct biodiversity impact assessments at four levels: global, policy, programme and planning, and project. Genting Malaysia collaborates with various organisations, external agencies, and species experts, including Jabatan Perhilitan Malaysia, and the Forest Research Institute Malaysia.
