It’s an exciting time for Macau with operators formally signing 10-year casino concession contracts with the Macau government on Friday afternoon and all six concessionaires announcing their investment plans on Saturday.

The Macau SAR Government has made no secret of its desire to increase the number of “foreign customers” visiting Macau. With Hong Kong and Taiwan understood to count as part of China (or greater China, if you prefer) according to the Macau SAR government definition, “foreign” is understood to mean visitors from outside the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and, of course, Macau.
