Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) has been fully supporting the Macau SAR Government’s policies to proactively support, organize, and participate in different large-scale international sports events and activities, and fostering Macau’s establishment as a “City of Sports”. Earlier, the national Olympic athletes brought home 40 gold medals, achieving the best overseas performance at the Paris Olympics. Starting from August 31, the Delegation of National Olympic Athletes embarked on a three-day visit in Macau. In addition to being one of the bonus providers, GEG also sponsored the Delegation’s accommodation and catering at the Galaxy Hotel™ within the Galaxy Macau™ integrated resort. This marked the fifth time that the Delegation of National Olympic Athletes has stayed at GEG’s hotel during their Macau visit since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. To share the joy of the Olympic athletes’ Macau visit with the community, GEG arranged for members from the local social service organizations, student representatives, and GEG team members to cordially welcome and bid farewell the Delegation in various forms.
