Outlook
Macau's Chief Executive Mr. Sam Hou Fai has delivered his first Policy Address in April 2025. This Address emphasized that Macau continue to implement the plan for the development of a diversified economy, to promote the“1+4” diversified industries and accelerate the development of the Hengqin Deep Co-operation Zone. The Government will also guide the concessionaires to make their non-gaming investments effective and to put more resources into supporting development projects in Macau and Hengqin. These policies reflect a consistent vision for a more diversified and sustainable development of Macau and its further integration with Hengqin.
We continued to see an increase in Macau's visitation numbers facilitated by the Mainland IVS extension and further visa relaxation policies such as the one-trip-per-week and multiple-entry visas, as well as improving infrastructure and the continuing joint marketing efforts by the MGTO and the concessionaires to expand the international tourist arrivals. These together brought a larger pool of visitors to Macau and higher hotel occupancy rates. We look forward to further policy relaxation which will further help to revitalize Macau's tourism.
The rebound in Macau's visitation with a broader base continued to drive the shift of the Macau gaming industry towards the mass market. GEG is adapting to the evolving tourism landscape by constantly enhancing its non-gaming elements including leisure and entertainment that integrates with our gaming offerings.
In particular, GEG is well positioned to continue capitalizing on the trend of increased entertainment in Macau with Macau's largest indoor coliseum - Galaxy Arena. Subsequent to Q1, in April we hosted ITTF World Cup Macao 2025, one of the world's most prestigious table tennis events, which received overwhelming demand. In the past weekend we successfully hosted the Wakin Chau World Tour and later this month we will be hosting J-hope, a member of the globally acclaimed K-pop group BTS, who is set to bring his first solo world tour to Galaxy Arena. Additionally in June we will present BIGBANG leader G-Dragon's first concert tour in eight years and the highly anticipated Jacky Cheung 60+ Concert Tour, as well as the Extraordinary General Assemblies and Conference of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile which is co-organized by Automobile General Association Macao-China and GEG, marking the first time of this world class annual event in Asia.
The adoption of advanced technologies such as smart tables is expected to further enhance the customer's gaming experience and casino's operational efficiency. We expect this to enhance game speed, ensure integrity, improve table hold percentages, and refine our customer analytics to provide a more personalized service experience.
Further, the ultra-luxury Capella at Galaxy Macau, the 10th hotel brand in GEG's portfolio, soft launched in early May. The opening of Capella at Galaxy Macau is set to reshape the market dynamics. With a new level of luxury accommodation in Macau Capella at Galaxy Macau is expected to assist GEG in capturing a larger market share and contribute to the overall growth of Macau with the premium mass market expansion.
We are also progressing well with the construction of Phase 4, which has a strong focus on non-gaming, primarily targeting entertainment and family facilities, and also includes a casino. Our Cotai Phase 4 is the only new development site in Macau and it will further enhance Macau's appeal to tourists, solidifying its reputation as the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
Meanwhile we continue to evaluate development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and overseas markets on a case by case basis, including Thailand.
We acknowledge the recent comments by Macau's Chief Executive that the 2025 GGR target maybe challenging to achieve. In the shorter term we continue to adjust operations as required, but we remain confident in the longer term outlook for Macau. Macau's proactive approach in economic diversification combined with China's firm support, position it well for future sustainable growth.
