Macau.- Fortune<\/strong> has released its Most Powerful Women in Asia <\/strong>list for 2024, and it features two women with gaming interests in the city of Macau.

Sam Hou Fai meets with Macau casinos bosses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sam Hou Fai<\/strong>, the only candidate for the position of chief executive (CE) in Macau<\/a>, met on Thursday (September 12) with leaders of the city\u2019s six casino concessionaires. Discussions revolved around the status of the industry and strategies to transform Macau into a global tourism and leisure hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, Hou Fai praised the contributions made to Macau\u2019s socio-economic development and encouraged operators to ensure the industry continues to develop in \u201ca healthy, orderly and sustainable development in accordance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hou Fai also urged casino operators to continue promoting an \u201cadequate diversification\u201d of the city\u2019s economy. The former judge has previously said diversification was essential for the city\u2019s development<\/a> and that despite driving rapid development since 1999, gaming has led to imbalances in the economy and workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting was attended by 12 representatives from the casino concessionaires, including Pansy Ho<\/strong>, chairperson of MGM China; Kenneth Feng<\/strong>, president of MGM Grand Paradise; and Lawrence Ho<\/strong> of Melco Resorts. Also in attendance were Wilfred Wong Ying Wai<\/strong>, vice chairman of Sands China; Grant Chum Kwan Lock<\/strong>, CEO of Sands China; Lawrence Ho Yau Lung<\/strong>, chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment; Francis Lui Yiu Tung<\/strong>, vice president of Galaxy Entertainment Group; Linda Chen Chih Ling<\/strong>, president of Wynn Macau; and Daisy Ho Chiu Fung<\/strong>, chairperson and executive director of SJM Holdings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
