Wong said: “Surpassing 1.1 billion arrivals is not only a significant milestone for the company, but also a testament to the popularity of Macao’s tourism offerings and the vitality and sustainability of its economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis remarkable achievement would not have been made possible without the guidance and strong support of the central and SAR governments, the concerted efforts of our 27,000 team members, and the solidarity of over 2,500 suppliers. Sands China calls Macao home, and we are committed to fulfilling our corporate social responsibility while actively giving back to our community. Moving forward, we will continue to work alongside Macao and invest in non-gaming projects to polish further its ‘golden business card’ as an international metropolis, showcasing its unique charm to both residents and visitors from around the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
