Net revenue in the period was up 78.9 per cent year-on-year to $144.7m, operator Melco Crown reported to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Friday.

City of Dreams Manila generated a cash flow of $50.2m for the fourth quarter, more than three times the $15.5m in the same period a year prior.

Willy Ocier, vice chair of Belle Corp - Melco Crown's partner in the project - said the rise in net revenue was due to the surge in “various tourists from all over”.
