Ms. Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM, remarked, “Indonesia is Macau’s fourth-largest international source market and a key focus within Southeast Asia. Following our product seminar last year in Indonesia, and participation in the ‘Experience Macao’ Indonesian roadshow in May, this seminar provided an excellent opportunity to further deepen local awareness of Macau’s diverse tourism offerings and strengthen our partnerships with local industry stakeholders. With a 33% year-on-year increase in visitors from Indonesia in the first three quarters of 2024, we are excited to present SJM’s world-class tourism products to this high-potential market. From luxury resort to a vibrant calendar of cultural, festive, and culinary events in the coming months, we look forward to welcoming more Indonesian friends to enjoy the full spectrum of Macau’s unique charm and cultural heritage.”
