Any business wanting to trade here will need to understand the local vision, explore the opportunities for growth and development, and most importantly, witness for themselves the extent of investment and commitment being made towards the infrastructure from Macau and all the way around the Silk Road trading area. This summit will be the first and most comprehensive opportunity for the gaming industry to hear how China will be steering its course on the tourism and cultural stage in the coming years.” Although uncertainty currently plagues much of the region’s gaming industry, there are a few bright spots. One sector tipped to experience continued strong growth is China’s lottery industry, notes Mr Chun, and this year’s MGS Summit has accordingly organized a session devoted to. Another major opportunity that Mr Chun is well aware of in his capacity as chairman of LT Game, Macau’s leading supplier of multiplayer terminals, is for suppliers of electronic gaming machines, which are poised to proliferate across the region and particularly in Macau over the coming years with the opening of several new resorts and the market’s continued shift away from the VIP segment towards the mass. Furthermore, Mr Chun observes that falling casino revenues heighten the urgency for operators to find ways to cut costs, enhance efficiency and increase customer retention and loyalty.
