Chen said, “I am confident in the future of Macau and believe that with the relaxation of the anti-epidemic policy, all non-gaming activities will begin to develop.”

In a statement released to coincide with the press conference, the company referred to its status as the first overseas company to be offered a gaming concession by the Macau government and said, “Wynn has enjoyed a front row seat to the city’s success: its prosperity, its stability and its rise as a tourism destination.” The company said it was committed to “non-gaming development and support for Macau’s goals of attracting more international tourism in the years ahead.”
Expanding international markets
The company has outlined its plans to expand international feeder markets to Macau, stating, “International travelers know Wynn Resorts. Wynn is proud to have established a significant international network, global partnerships, and a well-known international premium brand, through its consistent and unwavering delivery of luxury guest experiences at each and every one of its operations in Las Vegas, Boston and Macau, and a forthcoming addition in the United Arab Emirates.
“Wynn’s deep experience globally also means that it understands the complex process of developing, operating and marketing to international visitors. Its premium facilities will help to differentiate Macau through its multiple award-winning properties and renowned customer service excellence.”
Wynn said it would support Macau’s continuing goal of growing its sources of international tourism by “leveraging the company’s worldwide reach, including its expanded sales office network and representative agencies in overseas markets such as Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Canada, the USA and other countries.”
It also pledged to “develop regional and international partnerships with airlines that service both Macau and Hong Kong, as well as explore charter and private flight services for its guests where appropriate, along with specialized limousine and other transportation services for those traveling from nearby destinations.”
The company said it would further develop its international MICE efforts, expand and refine digital marketing campaigns to target feeder markets, and expand direct booking channels through “the integration of multi-language websites and booking platforms.” It also intends to “expand its third-party relationships with travel agencies and others as it further looks to support international tourism to Macau.”
Wynn said international visitation growth “will be supported further by designated areas within the casino space catering to overseas patrons at both the Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace properties.”
