A record number of holidaymakers made their way to Sands China properties during the first week of the Year of the Horse, with 1.8 million visits from 31 January – 6 February to its four Macao properties – Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, The Plaz Macao and Sands Cotai Central. That represents an average of over 260,000 visitors each day during the first week of Chinese New Year.
The seven-day Spring Festival surge in visitation was likewise reflected in increased hotel occupancy rates.
“With over 9,000 hotel rooms on offer in Sands China’s portfolio, we are pleased to see that our broad selection of accommodation was at or near full capacity almost the entire week. We have so much to offer visitors, whether here for business or leisure, and we are very pleased to see so many people enjoying our integrated resorts during Chinese New Year. With Sands China’s unparalleled integrated resort offering of luxury accommodation, superstar entertainment and celebrity events, duty-free retail, exquisite dining options and spectacular exhibitions, we are proud to continue contributing to the diversification of Macao’s tourism industry, helping develop the city into a world centre of tourism and leisure,” said Gunther Hatt, Executive Vice President of Operations, Venetian Macau Limited.
