Resorts World Sentosa goes ‘smart,’ rolls out contactless payments for Chinese visitors

Chinese visitors at the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) complex in Singapore can now opt to pay in a contactless fashion.

The integrated resort rolled out this week on-site smart payment terminals in more than 110 locations around Resorts World Sentosa. For this project, RWS collaborated with Ant Financial Services Group and appointed Alipay—China’s largest mobile payment provider—as its partner for contactless mobile payments of visitors from mainland China.

Alipay was also named the official partner of S.E.A. Aquarium and Resorts World Theatre as part of its partnership with Resorts World Sentosa.

The resort will extend its Alipay-enabled payments across its hotels, dining, retail and entertainment offerings, with plans to offer joint travel packages and promotions exclusively for Alipay users.
