ITL Appoints Rebecca Deng to Their Shenzhen Office
Innovative Technology (China) Ltd. has appointed Rebecca Deng, Sales Support Administrator, to their Shenzhen Office.
Rebecca joined Innovative’s China office earlier this year and is responsible for providing sales support. Rebecca also assists with the general daily running of the office including organising shipments and deliveries.
“I am really enjoying learning about all the ITL products and the benefits that they bring to our customers. My product knowledge is growing daily as I work closely with the well-informed team here in China. ITL is an expanding International organisation and it was this that attracted me to the role initially as it offers a great opportunity and ideal working environment. It is certainly living up to all my expectations!” Rebecca said.
“Rebecca is already proving to be a great asset to the business and is delivering first-class customer service. Rebecca is using her strong customer service skills from her previous job and is already building an excellent rapport with our customers. Her appointment has allowed Alina Chen to take on more of a business development role and together they are providing exceptional assistance to our growing customer network across the region. Alina now has responsibility for RKB (Retail, Kiosk & Banking) sales and business development in China and other parts of Asia and is successfully increasing sales and customer acquisition in the region. The new team and structure are working well, and we look forward to growing our customer base over the coming months and years,” Sean Wang, Business Development Manager Asia said.
Nagasaki has re-consolidated the IR bid support from all the regional governors of Kyushu Island.
The Kyushu Regional Strategy Conference, consisting of the seven governors of Kyushu region, as well as those of nearby Yamaguchi prefecture and Okinawa prefecture, plus the leaders of regional economic organisations, released an official message supporting Nagasaki’s IR bid.
Under the principle of “Kyushu is One,” potential IR operators were advised that they were expected to offer, and could be expected to receive, support for tourism development in the entire region.
While Nagasaki had gained early support from such regional associations, the regional unity behind its bid was briefly threatened by the prospect that either Fukuoka city or Kitakyushu city might join the IR race.
A new study released by the Macau Research Centre has found that 60% of those who visited Macau during the COVID-19 pandemic did so for gambling, with each willing to spend around MOP$87,000 on average.
The research centre surveyed 103 visitors between March and May, of which 93.2% were from mainland China. With the threat of a 14-day quarantine upon leaving Macau, research showed those mainlanders chose to stay longer, with an average stay of 6.7 days. Around 59% stayed for more than five days.
The study also found that 59% of those surveyed visited Macau for gaming, while 87% had conducted gaming activities. Their gaming budget ranged from MOP$1,000 to MOP$500,000, with an average of MOP$87,000.
“Compared to the mass market, the spending decisions of this group of high-end customers may be less influenced by macroeconomic and social sentiment,” the study said.
Moreover, the visitors spent another MOP$45,549 during their visits on average, mostly on dining, shopping and hospitality.
The study also found the arrivals had visited Macau an average of 5.8 times in the last 12 months, while 83% of them had visited Macau at least three times in the last 12 months.
Macau casino king Stanley Ho has died on Tuesday (May 26) at the age of 98. He was known as the godfather of Macau casinos and was instrumental in turning Macau into a gambling boomtown.
The flamboyant tycoon, who loved to dance but advised his nearest and dearest to shun gambling, headed one of the world’s most lucrative gaming businesses through his flagship firm, SJM Holdings Ltd, valued at about US$6 billion.
Ho spearheaded what is known in Macau as the junket VIP system, whereby middlemen act on behalf of casinos by extending credit to gamblers and taking responsibility for collecting debts.
Some of Ho’s children have become successful gaming operators in their own right. Daughter Pansy is the co-chairperson of MGM Resorts’ Macau unit while son Lawrence runs Melco Resorts & Entertainment.
