A bit of Paris in Macao
Representatives from Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao introduced their latest property — The Parisian Macao, which will open mid-September this year.
Ruth Boston, Vice President – Destination Marketing & Sales, Sands China, said, “The Parisian Macao will be the seventh hotel in our portfolio and the jewel in the crown for Sands Resorts. It’s the dream of our chairman and is finally being realised with this property, which is modelled on the city of Paris in France. The Venetian Macao is already very popular in the Indian market and we believe that the new property would emulate the success.”
Revealing the various highlights of the property, she said, “The Parisian Macao will have 3000 guest rooms and suites and will have meeting spaces that can be shared with the Venetian Macao, allowing the guests to stay in one of the propertied and have their meetings in either. The Parisian Macao also has 150 shops including some French brands, which will be coming to Macao for the first time. In fact, with these, we will have 850 stores throughout Sands Resorts, which is larger than any other shopping centre in Hong Kong. We also have 20 restaurants and the key land- mark of the property is a halfscale recreation of the famed Eiffel Tower, with two observation decks both on the seventh and 37th floor. It also has a restaurant which sits around 200 people as well. Also, every night there will be a light show at the Eiffel Tower at the Parisian Macao. There will also be a plethora of entertainment options at the property, as well as a number of family facilities like Aqua World, the outdoor pool deck featuring an adult pool as well as children’s facilities. There are so many other things for kids, including the Qube Kingdom.”
We share a good relationship with the agents in India and do a lot of cooperative marketing with travel agents
Speaking on the expectation from the travel trade, she said, “We have been connecting with the travel trade on our visits from India and we share a good relationship with the agents in India for a long time. We do a lot of cooperative marketing with travel agents and would be continuing to do that. In June, India was the fourth largest source market for us after Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.”
