Wong confirmed this in an interview with the media during the gaming expo, but he noted that it would take some time before they start on the project. <\/p>\n<p>Taking into account the Macau gaming industry\u2019s current state of recovery, it would not be wise to launch full force in terms of new offerings and products, Wong stated. In this regard, construction of the new MICE facility won\u2019t start anytime soon. It would probably commence in the next few years, according to Wong. <\/p>\n<p>Casino operators in Macau are just starting to recover from the pandemic, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/news\/moodys-says-sands-china-unlikely-to-see-full-recovery-until-2024\/\">analysts not expecting a full recovery until 2024<\/a>. Wong said that their MICE expansion timeline will hugely depend on the pace of recovery of Macau\u2019s gaming sector. <\/p>\n<h2>Sands China\u2019s MICE Offerings to Target Overseas Customers<\/h2>\n<p>Sands China\u2019s increased focus on its MICE offerings is aimed at attracting foreign MICE customers and tourists into Macau. This is in line with the government\u2019s goal of reducing Macau\u2019s dependency on customers coming from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. <\/p>\n<p>Wong said they are primarily targeting patrons from overseas, including Japan, South Korea, and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region with their MICE offerings. When it comes to leisure, the company is eyeing customers from the United States and Europe. <\/p>\n<p>Wong said efforts to attract more foreign customers into Macau will be boosted by the upcoming launch of a direct airside pass for passengers flying into Hong Kong International Airport. It will allow foreign travellers to enter Macau without clearing Hong Kong immigration first. The clearance, which is expected to be implemented in August, will enable tourists to link direct to Macau via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Sands China Ltd will expand its MICE facilities in Macau as part of the new gaming concession However, the expansion projects
