parks & resorts
Explore & More
Delaware North’s parks and resorts business is well-known in the hospitality industry, providing a full range of services such as lodging, food and beverage, retail and recreation at many highly visited national and state parks, attractions and one-of-a-kind destination resorts.
Our parks and resorts business expanded into Australia in 2009, when we acquired several iconic lodging properties. The awe-inspiring locations include Pinewood Lodge in Queenstown, New Zealand, and the lavish splendor of the Great Barrier Reef, where we own and operate Lizard Island Resort. The five-star resort has been recognised as one of the top hotels and beach resorts in the world by Forbes, Travel + Leisure and other prestigious travel publications.
gaming
Ahead of the Game
Through innovative thinking, decades of experience and industry-leading insights and analytics, Delaware North sets the bar high as a multinational gaming operator. We specialise in regional gaming venues with slots and video gaming machines, table games, poker rooms, full-service restaurants, retail shops and hotels.
In 2019, Delaware North expanded its Australian operations into the gaming sector with the acquisition of SKYCITY Darwin, a casino and resort in Australia’s Northern Territory. We rebranded the property as Mindil Beach Casino Resort. To date, we have
invested more than $15 million to upgrade the facility, helping to cement it — and its 30 acres of tropical gardens — as the premier tourism and leisure destination in the Northern Territory.
travel
Journey to Excellence
Delaware North is one of the world’s leading airport hospitality and retail companies. Our expertise has landed us in some of the most prestigious airports in the world. Our impressive portfolio of more than 200 local, proprietary, regional and national brands is a result of our brand customisation approach. This process ensures the airport reflects the essence of local culture and captures the hearts of travellers, taking into account key drivers such as local trends in cuisine, art, fashion, music and style.
We effectively — and to wide acclaim — manage in excess of 300 restaurants and retail stores. And we’ve won numerous awards — especially as of late — for concepts that we’ve brought to our airport partners.
