Macao – Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao announced that the company has entered into a long-term strategy partnership with Lander Real Estate Co., Ltd., one of China's leading property development companies, to co-develop sporting events both nationally and abroad. This strategic partnership marks another significant milestone for the integrated resort city as it continues to work towards its goal of transforming Macao into a destination for world-class sporting events. The contract signing ceremony took place in Hangzhou, China.

 

Entertainment is at the heart of Sands Resorts' business. To that end, the company has long been devoted to delivering unrivaled experiences for visitors and diversifying the tourism landscape of Macao by hosting and supporting premier sporting events and a diverse range of entertainment offerings. In this regard, Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao shares the same commitment as Lander Real Estate as both companies endeavour to boost the development of culture and sport in China. To showcase major sporting events to a wider audience, a sports broadcasting company was established by Lander in Macao this year.

 

“This strategic partnership will see our companies co-developing major sports offerings together, especially boxing events – a sport that continues to become increasingly popular in China,” said Dave Horton, global chief marketing officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp. & Sands China Ltd., “Sporting events are one of the many ways our company works to diversify Macao's tourism landscape. Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao will work with Lander Real Estate to build upon the recognition of Macao and Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao as the home of the best boxing events in Asia.”

 

Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao has played host to major international sporting events in the multi-purpose 15,000-seat Cotai Arena at The Venetian Macao, including basketball, tennis, boxing, ice skating, extreme sports, dirt-bike and racing. Most recently the arena has seen boxers Manny Pacquiao and Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming perform, putting Macao as a venue in the spotlight at the same time, helping to raise the profile of Macao as a world centre of tourism and leisure.

 

Apart from organizing and hosting different kinds of sporting events, the multi-award-winning Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao strives to present world-class services and a wide variety of under-one-roof facilities that exceed visitors' leisure and business needs. Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao features more than 9,000 deluxe hotel rooms by the world's finest brands; 1.5 million square feet of meeting and convention space; more than 650 duty-free high-end and mid-market retail outlets; a diverse range of dining options, including the Michelin starred Indian restaurant Golden Peacock; and a broad variety of entertainment offerings.

 

With this latest strategic partnership, Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao and Lander Real Estate Co. are confident they can leverage on their vast experience to organize the best sporting events in Asia.
