Could Sun International Hotels And Casinos Be Set To Profit Amid Coronavirus Outbreak?
As the global economy begins to suffer, many businesses have taken the hit as people all over the world are told to avoid unnecessary travel. In this article, we will be looking into the effects that these restrictions are having on numerous industries around the globe.
The Affect Of Coronavirus On The Global Market
At this moment in time, the outbreak has taken a toll on several national economies as well as the global economy. With the FTSE dropping by 33% with a number of the world’s leading banks cutting interest rates to prevent this. This 33% drop equates to as much as £130bn wiped from the value. This is hugely problematic for not only individuals but small businesses that have had to close down as a result of Covid-19.
However, with several announcements from the US and British government, the stocks have continued to see a downward trend. The Dow Jones index closed 12.9% down after President Trump said that the country may be heading for a recession as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. Though, as further regulations are put in place to combat the spread of the virus, we may well continue to see the stocks drop dramatically in price as a result.

As the virus begins to spread around the world, the South African president declared a national state of disaster within the country. With this came travel bans for those from the U.S, UK Italy, China, Germany South Korea, Iran and Spain. Though this has been declared in the country, there are several industries such as online gambling in Casinos.co.za and casinos are continuing to thrive. Though this is looking promising at this time, many industry experts suggest that this could be a problem in the near future. However, as several businesses continue to close around the world, Covid-19 could be problematic for a number of these businesses that are currently thriving as people begin looking to spend their money elsewhere.
The Current State Of South African Gambling Giant Sun International
As of Monday south African hotel and casino, Sun International reported that they have seen a 91% jump in the adjusted full-year earnings despite the ongoing issue of Covid-19. However, the company has said that they are preparing for the worst when it comes to the impact that the virus could have on their business. As they also have hotels and casinos in Latin America the company saw income rise by a total of 4% to 17.2 billion. However, with travel bans and the sheer number of Coronavirus cases, this is set to change dramatically.
The Recent State Of Affairs
However, as restrictions tighten and the number of confirmed cases rises, it is the hospitality industry that is set to suffer. As people all over the world are advised to avoid social gatherings and unnecessary travel, the company have seen a drop in the stock price of 13.17%. This is a huge loss in volume for the company, however, it is not unexpected as this is occurring within a huge number of industries as this continues.
Whether you are experiencing a drop yourself or you are looking at the current state of the economy at this time, there is plenty that has been affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Across the conference, side events, and business meetings, the team aligned strategies for 2026, discussed performance trends, explored new collaboration formats, and presented upcoming product updates. These conversations shaped a more focused partnership roadmap for the year ahead.

A defining moment of AWA week was N1 Partners’ success at the Affiliate Space Awards 2025 by Conversion Club. N1 Parthers was named “Best Gambling/Betting Affiliate Program”. Determined by peer voting and expert evaluation, the award reflects the affiliate program’s proven results, reliability, and consistently strong performance recognized across the industry.
“We’re incredibly grateful for this recognition,” says Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “What truly makes this program the best is the product depth across our brands, a hands-on affiliate managers team that is always present, and partner conditions designed with care – all that meets affiliates where they are. Winning this award isn’t just about N1 Partners, but every affiliate who grows with us. This is our common win.”

The team also joined the Affiliate Drinks Meetup Bangkok 2025, where the relaxed setting encouraged direct, meaningful discussions on performance, GEO strategies, and long-term cooperation.
Throughout the week, N1 Partners was present at Fridman Palace, a curated business space where industry leaders gathered for strategic meetings. As the sponsor of the smoking lounge, the company hosted partners in a comfortable, premium environment designed for meaningful conversations and high-level deal-making.
With the Bangkok chapter concluded, the focus now shifts to Barcelona 2026, where N1 Partners will host the grand finale of the N1 Puzzle Promo during iGB/ICE Europe week. The celebration will feature exclusive prizes, a high-energy entertainment program, and the reveal of the Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter winner — setting the stage for one of the most anticipated events of the upcoming iGaming year.

Co-founded by veteran publisher Mike Wilson, best known as the co-founder of Devolver Digital and Gathering of Developers, the company is positioning Sing as Wilson’s final major venture in the gaming industry; a project that bridges music, wellness, and play across both VR and traditional platforms. Known for championing creativity and emotional depth in gaming, Wilson’s work has consistently challenged the boundaries of what interactive experiences can express.
To support this vision, Realize Music recently selected Tuned Global to power the music backend that enables Sing’s extensive licensed catalogue across platforms.

At release, the app features over one million of the most iconic popular songs officially licensed from Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Beggars Group, covering an unparalleled range of genres and decades, with new songs to be added regularly. It transforms singing into a hands-on, interactive experience where players can explore, express, and unwind through sound.
Announcing the launch on Meta Quest, Realize Music: Sing also marks the start of its next phase. A Steam PC gaming version and additional platforms are planned for 2026, expanding Sing beyond virtual reality and into new spaces for interactive music and wellness.
“We’ve always believed that games can help people feel better, not just entertained,” said Meta Quest, Realize Music: Sing Co-Founder, Mike Wilson. “Sing is about rediscovering joy without judgment or pressure, through the simple act of raising your own voice and watching the world respond. It’s the kind of project I’ve always hoped to finish my career on, and I hope it inspires other creators to focus their energies on beneficial media.”
“Realize Music: Sing is a breakthrough moment for music-driven wellbeing,” said Con Raso, CEO of Tuned Global. “We’re proud to support the Realize Music team with innovative music technology that empowers their vision and brings it to life in such an exciting way. From licensed catalogue delivery to lyrics and reporting, Sing shows what becomes possible when creativity, wellness, and responsible music innovation come together.”
Players can preview songs for free, purchase individual tracks or albums à la carte, or subscribe for unlimited access. Subscriptions launch at an introductory price of $9.99 per month for the first two months, before moving to $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year.
