Title: Sands China Ltd. Welcomes 1.1 Billion Visitors to Its Properties in Macao
Sands China Ltd. has reached a significant milestone, welcoming over 1.1 billion visitors to its properties in Macao, a testament to its over two decades of development in the region. The company celebrated this achievement with a welcome ceremony at its flagship property, The Venetian Macao, on August 28, 2025. The event marked the arrival of the 1.1 billionth guest and coincided with The Venetian Macao's 18th anniversary.
Sands China's journey in Macao began in 2004 with the grand opening of Sands Macao, the city's first hotel and entertainment complex. Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio to include The Venetian Macao, The Plaza Macao, Sands Cotai Central (now The Londoner Macao), and The Parisian Macao. These iconic attractions along the Cotai Strip are interconnected, forming a European-themed destination that has reshaped the skyline of Cotai.
The company's success is not just a reflection of its investments in gaming and entertainment but also in non-gaming offerings. Sands China has been actively involved in developing Macao as a world center for tourism and leisure. Its integrated resorts offer over 10,000 hotel rooms, 150 dining options, and 760 retail outlets. Additionally, the company has invested in large-scale meeting and convention facilities, arenas, and theaters to cater to a diverse range of visitor needs.
According to Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., surpassing 1.1 billion arrivals is a significant milestone that reflects the popularity of Macao's tourism offerings and the vitality of its economic development. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of the central and SAR governments, the concerted efforts of its 27,000 team members, and the solidarity of over 2,500 suppliers.
Looking ahead, Sands China is committed to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility and giving back to the community. The company plans to continue investing in non-gaming projects to further enhance Macao's reputation as an international metropolis. This includes initiatives that promote the integration of sports, culture, and tourism to enrich the visitor experience.
Sands China Ltd. is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (HKEx: 1928). It is the largest operator of integrated resorts in Macao and a subsidiary of global resort developer Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS).
