Wynn eyes diversification of visitor sources, stable occupancy rate

Linda Chen, Wynn Macau president

Wynn Macau hopes efforts to diversify its sources of visitors will start producing results during the May First Golden Week.

“I hope that everyone’s hotel occupancy rate will not only be high, but especially that visitor sources will be more diverse,” Linda Chen, president and vice chairman of the Board of Wynn Macau, Limited, expressing her desire to attract tourists “not just from the mainland, but especially from the international market.”

“As you know, we just came back from Portugal. We hope to promote the importance of having more international visitors to Macau,” Chen told the press on the sidelines of an SME event at Wynn.

However, she added, it will take time and multiple campaigns to expand the international customer base.

She noted that labor is “a challenge that everyone is facing,” and claimed Wynn is relatively stable in this regard because it maintained the company’s employment rate and kept employees on during the three years of the pandemic. This has allowed Wynn’s hotel rooms to be fully operational.

In the process of promoting non-gaming projects, gaming employees are also encouraged to seek more non-gaming jobs.

Chen expressed that the first priority is to develop non-gaming industries, non-gaming activities and projects in the future. If these can be developed well, it will be of “great benefit to the recovery of the entire market.” There are currently more than 200 employees receiving training in non-gaming sector activities, she said.
