Alliance Global Group (AGI) CEO and AGI subsidiary Travellers International Hotel Group Inc (TIHGI) Chairman Kevin Tan has told Inside Asian Gaming that avoiding any potential conflict of interest arising from former Travellers Chairman David Chua’s role as President of Manila casino developer Suntrust Resort Holdings was one of his reasons for choosing to remove Chua from the Travellers Board of Directors.

The clarification follows a report by local media outlet Bilyanaro on Thursday that Chua had been removed from the Travellers board as part of Tan’s “purge” of executives previously linked with Genting Hong Kong – the company’s former partner in Travellers, which owns and operates Manila IR Newport World Resorts.
