Macau’s Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai delivered his 2026 Policy Address on Tuesday, revealing that the government will review the investment activities of gaming concessionaires over the past three years in accordance with the law and encourage them to establish tourism promotion agencies in major global tourism markets.
The annual Policy Address outlined the Macao SAR Government’s key priorities for 2026, marking the second Policy Address since the Chief Executive’s inauguration. Overall, the policy document itself contains minimal focus on gaming – only 13 characters sections to the industry – although tourism development occupies significant space.
Sam Hou Fai emphasized that the government would promote the lawful, healthy, and orderly development of the gaming industry.
