Macau, the world’s largest gambling hub, hopes to move from being a “tourism city” to a “business city,” according to the head of the Chinese city’s trade and investment promotion arm.
Speaking at the Fortune Leaders Forum in Macau on Sept. 8, Alex Che Weng Keong, president of the board of directors of the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute of the Macao SAR, cited an interesting role model: Las Vegas. The world’s other major gambling hub has shown a casino town can also become a “world-class venue…for business, exchange, conferences, and exhibitions,” Che said.
