Macau welcomes over 20 million visitors annually and the “Monte Carlo of the Orient” boasts more than just an Asian Las Vegas. Discover a cultural heritage and rich and rewarding fusion of culture, architecture and cuisine as East meets West in this incredible coastal region. Macau is the only region in China where casinos are legal and has built her fine reputation by creating an amazing choice of resorts and hotels that offer gambling entertainment at its best. Macau offers its visitors peaceful sandy beaches, hilltop hikes, ancient Temples and churches as well as museums that delve deeper into the historical and cultural background of this previously Portuguese run colony.
Macau’s incredible tourism numbers were largely based on the resorts all offering visitors legal gambling entertainment, however with online casinos becoming increasingly popular, Macau tourism has realised that they will need more than just incredible casinos to draw in crowds. Casinos offer players an authentic casino experience on their PCs or mobile devices and thus have eliminated the need for people to travel to a resort purely to enjoy gambling.
In order to attract visitors to Macau for more than just the casinos, the resorts and hotels offer tourists amazing deals and special offers to attract them to the region and discover all Macau has on offer.
The popularity of online casinos has definitely impacted the tourism numbers in Macau and Macau resorts offer great rates to ensure that visitors return for more than just the casino experience. A region with so much on offer that has largely built up its tourism reputation based on its casinos and gaming establishments now has to shift its focus and attract visitors with lower rates and special offers to encourage them to discover all the other great attractions available.
