Blackstone-owned Crown Resorts will remove up to 1,000 jobs amid a decline in tourists and gaming restrictions impacting its Melbourne and Sydney operations.

“The challenges at Crown reflect greatly reduced foreign tourism, a sharp decline in local workers in the city centres, and restrictions on gaming play in Sydney and Melbourne,” said Crown Resorts CEO Ciaran Carruthers.
