We are proud to be recognized by Trip.com as a Chinese Friendly Hotel! In recent months, we have worked closely with Marriott International's Digital Field Marketing team to enhance our digital footprint in China, including launching our Chinese language hotel website for ease of browsing and booking. Our property team have also ensured we cater to the travel preferences of our Chinese customer-base to bring us closer to this growing audience segment. In 2016, Dubai announced visas-on-arrival for Chinese nationals and within three years China grew to become the emirate's fifth-largest source market with nearly 1 million annual visitors. Although these numbers plummeted during the pandemic, a 2023 article by Skift reported on the gradual recovery with China breaking into the top 10 source markets by April, and by July placing it as the eighth-largest source market with 328,000 visitors, a 311% increase since the start of the year.

Disappointing lack of progress on this front … but will be a real breakthrough when it comes, both for integrating Hengqin with Macau and for boosting the MICE industry. The potential for Macau to build 100,000 hotel rooms in Hengqin over the next decade should not be laughed off. Vegas didn’t get to where it is today in a couple of years. It took decades for it to become America’s conventions king. Macau and Hengqin could become the same for China - while eclipsing Singapore and Hong Kong as the region’s premier MICE destination.
