History

The Company ceased its mall and cinema operations in 2017. Gotesco Tyan Ming Development, Inc. (GTMDI), a subsidiary, ceased its mall and cinema operations in June 2015.

In 2021, the Company launched through its new subsidiaries its venture into agri-eco-tourism business.

The transformation started with the acquisition of the net assets of Everwoods Management and Development Inc. (EMDI, formerly 3-J Development Corporation) and Agriwave Inc. (termed as Agriwave, formerly Agriwave Organic Inc.) on December 15, 2021. These new subsidiaries handled the eco-tourism and agricultural production of high-value crops and orchids, respectively.

In 2022, the Company disclosed to the public the plans to engage in bamboo farming and production in its landholdings in Cebu. The project in Cebu, called Bambusay, will involve a Bamboo park and a multitude of recreational facilities which will showcase activities that are sustainable and structures that will be working with nature. Bambusay is a play between bamboo and Busay, the mountain side of Cebu where the properties of the Company are located. During the second half of 2022, the Company has hired professionals from different fields for the master planning and the pre-feasibility studies of Project Bambusay. The masterplan was completed in December 2023.

As the Company further introspect on its strengths and analyze the prevailing market, it decided to pivot the focus to the attractions industry. While the tourism sector hit a downfall during the pandemic years, along with most industries, its potentials for higher growth trajectory remains. This strategic shift is guided by the Company’s commitment to innovation and in giving unique and immersive entertainment as the Company seeks to explore new opportunities for revenue generation and market expansion.

Products

In response to evolving market trends and changing consumer preferences, the Company shall spearhead a diverse array of location-based entertainment facilities and services, encompassing amusement parks, theme parks, family entertainment centers, and experiential learnings within the Philippines. Bamboo farming is still in the Masterplan of the business and will be strategically positioned in some parts of the lands in Cebu as part of its attractions and preservation of ecological balance. EGRHI believes that the attractions industry presents significant opportunities for revenue diversification and long-term growth which shall give funding for other future endeavors of the Company and reasonable returns to its shareholders.

Meanwhile, Agriwave Inc. is engaged in real estate and agricultural production.

On the other hand, Everwoods Management and Development Inc. is likewise engaged in real estate and operation of leisure facilities. It has signed a lease contract with Majestic Plus Holding Int’l. Inc. in January 2022 to operate the Forest Crest Nature Resort and is intended to position the 17-hectare leisure complex into an eco-tourism hub integrated with an appreciation of agricultural processes. EMDI temporarily assigned its management rights to Forest Crest Nature Hotel and Resort Inc. until 2024. During the assignment period, EMDI bills management fee to Forest Crest.
