Especialista em marketing, e presidente da Associação Internacional das Indústrias Culturais e Desportivas de Macau, Patrícia Cheong aponta Las Vegas como modelo para se transformar: do jogo para o entretenimento Patrícia Cheong  – Como todos sabemos, Macau sempre teve limitações relativamente aos espaços. Temos  eventos  desportivos bastante bons, em escala eventos pequena ou média, mas precisamos de ser muito seletivos sobre os eventos que realizamos.

Let’s put that in numbers: 1,250,000,000,000. That’s 1.83 million patacas for every person in Macao. It’s more than the amount  spent on 1,800 projects  under China’s signature Belt and Road Initiative. It’s bigger than the size of the  entire global food delivery market . As a statistician, I’m used to dealing with large numbers – especially when working in the gaming industry. In Vegas, millions were usually the largest units when it came to describing monthly revenues or visitors. When I came to Macao in 2006, using billions became commonplace, for talking about rolling volumes in VIP gaming, or monthly casino revenues. But the co...
