Resorts World Sentosa
Unlocks Seamless Travel
with Mini programs

In an increasingly mobile-first world, hospitality brands are turning to digital innovation not only to streamline bookings but also to craft memorable and immersive guest experiences. Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), one of Asia’s premier lifestyle destinations, partnered with Fugu to bring to life a robust, user-centric Mini Program ecosystem that bridges convenience, personalization, and performance.

The Challenge

Enhancing Guest Engagement
in a Fragmented Ecosystem

RWS operates a world-class integrated resort that includes multiple hotels, Universal Studios Singapore, SEA Aquarium, and luxury dining and shopping experiences. However, its digital interfaces lacked cohesion and scalability, particularly on China-facing platforms where customer behaviors, payment preferences, and regulatory needs differ greatly.

 

The challenge was clear:

Build a mobile-first experience tailored to Chinese users

Consolidate hotel and attraction bookings into one intuitive platform

Ensure real-time responsiveness and API integrations across services

Maintain compliance with data laws like China’s PIPL

Drive ongoing engagement with rich campaign support

An End-to-End Mini Program Ecosystem

Fugu, acting as RWS’s digital strategy and execution partner, architected and implemented an end-to-end solution on WeChat and Ali Mini Program platforms.

 

From early-stage planning to technology stack evaluation, Fugu’s involvement extended beyond development to include:

  • Digital marketing and platform strategy
  • Architecture consulting for backend and hosting
  • Maintenance and lifecycle management
1. Hotel & Attraction Booking Integration

Users can now book any of RWS’s hotels and attractions (like Universal Studios) seamlessly within the Mini Program. Behind this fluid experience is a tightly coupled API integration with RWS’s BME systems, enabling:

  • Real-time availability, pricing, and booking
  • Payment processing via WeChat Pay and AliPay
  • Booking confirmations, changes, and cancellations
  • Data storage of user preferences and booking history

Special hotel + attraction bundles and F&B offers are prominently displayed, encouraging upselling and cross-service discovery. These are backed by dynamic campaign modules that RWS can update internally.

Corporate event and wedding planners now have direct access to the RWS MICE team via an embedded contact form. Upon submission, a sales representative is automatically notified and follows up personally, ensuring lead conversion opportunities aren’t missed.

To personalize each guest’s digital journey, the Mini Program offers:

  • Tailored recommendations based on user behavior
  • A curated F&B experience with booking integration
  • Tracking of user interactions and preferences to inform future campaigns

Real-time tracking is essential for agility. The platform uses tools like Tencent Analytics, Wedata, and custom dashboards to monitor:

  • Booking and ticket volumes
  • Page views and user engagement
  • Unique and repeat visitor behavior
  • Lead generation and conversion patterns

 

All metrics are stored and visualized for internal stakeholders, improving strategic decision-making.

Technology doesn’t stand still—and neither does the platform. Fugumobile ensures ongoing reliability through:

  • Monthly performance checks and platform patching
  • Server infrastructure management and cloud hosting
  • Data backup and virus scanning
  • Troubleshooting and corrective maintenance for system integrity

Results & Impact

The launch of the RWS Mini Program ecosystem has brought measurable results across several dimensions:

Improved booking conversion rates across WeChat and Ali platforms

Higher guest retention due to lifecycle messaging and intuitive UI

Strong engagement on Xiaohongshu, enabling RWS to tap into the discovery phase of younger audiences

Operational efficiency, thanks to seamless backend integrations and campaign management tools

Conclusion

Resorts World Sentosa’s journey into the mobile-first future exemplifies what’s possible when customer experience and backend scalability align. By leveraging Fugu’s strategy, design, and technical execution, RWS has created a rich, engaging digital ecosystem that delights users and delivers business outcomes.
