PDF 25 MB - Sun International | Investor Centre

INTRODUCTION
This past year has once again been a challenging one for the group and
economic conditions have continued to be difficult. The global economy
has been slow to recover while the World Cup brought some temporary
relief to the local economy.
Sun International’s casinos, hotels and resorts have felt the negative impact
of the local and global economies. Whilst our casino operations have
generally experienced consistency in footfall, the trend of customers
spending less per visit has continued. The impact of the subdued Euroeconomy
has resulted in the hotels and resorts continuing to experience a
decline in inbound tourism, international groups and conventions bookings.
Although the decline in economic activity appears to be stabilising, trading
for the next period will remain challenging.
