The Parisian Macao will celebrate its 10th anniversary this weekend, reiterating Sands China’s investment commitment into the Macau SAR, the company said in a release.
The official anniversary takes place on Sunday 13 September, with Sands stating that The Parisian Macao has attracted more than 100 million visitors from around the world since its 2016 launch.
It was, when opened, the company’s second “themed” integrated resort after The Venetian Macao – it has since added The Londoner Macao – and has become an iconic part of the Cotai Strip’s visual splendor and standing as a global tourist attraction.
The property’s replica Eiffel Tower, the result of four years of planning, was built at half the scale of the original in Paris and comprises 2,800 tonnes of steel and 6,600 lights, having been refined through more than 4,500 design drawings to faithfully capture the spirit of the iconic Parisian landmark.
The Parisian Macao is home to over 2,540 hotel rooms, approximately 62,000 square feet of MICE facilities, including the 1,200-seat Parisian Theatre, and offers approximately 297,000 square feet of retail at Shoppes at Parisian.
“The 10th anniversary of The Parisian Macao marks a significant milestone in Sands China’s longstanding commitment to supporting Macau’s economic diversification, while also standing as a testament to our shared journey with the city,” said Dr Wilfred Wong, Executive Vice Chairman of Sands China Ltd.
“Over the past decade, The Parisian Macao has continually enriched Macau’s non-gaming tourism offerings through its diverse portfolio of hospitality, MICE, retail, entertainment and family-friendly experiences, while serving as an important catalyst for the high-quality development of the tourism industry. Its iconic Eiffel Tower has become a defining feature of the Cotai skyline and a landmark through which myriads of visitors have come to experience, remember and connect with Macau.
“Since its inception, The Parisian Macao has welcomed more than 100 million visits. Behind this achievement is the strong support of the Central People’s Government, the Macao SAR government and the wider society, as well as the longstanding dedication of our team members.
“Looking ahead, Sands China remains firmly committed to advancing non-gaming development, introducing world-class events and experiences, and transforming the vitality of tourism into lasting momentum for Macau’s economic diversification. We look forward to working closely with all sectors of society to help shape an even brighter future for Macau.”
