For colleagues, Splendors of China aims to create deeper insight into understanding the majority of Melco’s clientele, as well as appreciating the achievements of Macau’s mother country. A total of 40 colleagues from the Melco management team also recently toured the ‘Loving the Country, Loving Macau Education Base for Young People’ located at the Handover Gifts Museum of Macau to strengthen national knowledge and identity and to gain a deeper understanding of Macau’s developments and achievements. Looking ahead, each Melco colleague in Macau will have the opportunity to visit the patriotic education base as the Company rolls out regular tours.
