I do think that these events contribute a lot to Las Vegas' GGR since they attract a lot of tourists. For Macau to gain on Las Vegas, what events do you see in the future that should be held or strongly promoted in Macau so that they can continue this momentum of gaining on Vegas? and are there any cities you think can be a surprise to the gambling industry and could potentially threaten both Macau and Las Vegas?
Let us discuss!
Macau's location and political affiliations might limit the growth of the gambling business. The country is a special administrative region of China, and many people will not be comfortable there. The Chinese government's tight societal regulations might discourage foreign travellers from China. Tourists might also be discomforted by China's authoritarian government and abuse of human rights. Expanding its visa and tax-free policies might attract more gamblers. Installing a democratically elected government in China will help in attracting more non-Chinese tourists/gamblers to Macau. Let us discuss!
Thailand and Japan are now competing with Macau. Unlike Macau, where mainland Chinese visitors account for 70% of the total, Thailand and Japan have a good balance of visitors from all over the world, including Europe and the United States.
