OKADA MANILA wins an award

OKADA MANILA was named Best Hotel - Manila at the 35th TTG Travel Awards 2026 on October 2, according to Envalith. The recognition gives Universal Entertainment a concrete operating milestone for its integrated resort business, which sits alongside its Japanese pachislot and pachinko machine operations.

The award does not change the reported earnings base, but it adds a measurable external marker for the performance of the Manila resort. El Fondo describes the company as active in both amusement equipment and integrated resort operations.
