CHINA – GALAXY MACAU OPENS PHASE 2 The new chapter of Galaxy Macau and Broadway Macau opened its doors witnessed by government officials, high profile dignitaries, socialites and celebrities on May 27.
The resort, billed as the Most Spectacular Entertainment and Leisure Destination in the World, has doubled in size in just four years, now standing at a total of 1.1m square meters. It is also the first major resort to open in Macau since 2012, marking a new milestone for the city.
Queues of guests began forming outside in the early hours of the morning, awaiting a chance to explore and experience the greatly expanded resort in particular the non-gaming facili- ties, such as dining outlets and shopping and to discover the new and unlimited world-class attractions and entertain- ment on offer. Galaxy Macau and Broadway Macau marks HK$43bn of a HK$100bn planned investment by Galaxy Entertainment Group in Macau and over 95 per cent of the total floor area covers non-gaming amenities and entertain- ment, fulfilling its potential as a ‘World Center of Tourism and Leisure’.
The grand opening was officiated by a host of dignitaries including Dr. Chui Sai On, Chief Executive of Macau Special Administrative Region; Edmund Ho, Vice-Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Li Guan, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao Special Administrative Region.
During the ceremony, a traditional lion eye-dotting was per- formed by the officiating guests to symbolize a future of prosperity and good fortune for the new chapter of Galaxy Macau and Broadway Macau, followed by a spectacular and colourful display of two 138 foot long beautifully crafted dragons, along with 16 lions which set off 888,000 fire- crackers across the entire resort. A procession of jugglers, acrobats, ribbon dancers and drummers entertained the crowd before the officiating guests cut the ribbon to signal the official opening of the brand new chapter of Galaxy Macau and Broadway Macau.
Dr. Lui Che-woo, Chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group, said: “Being a Chinese company, GEG is rooted in Macau. We are committed to nurturing local talent and promote local culture to support the economy. We fully support the Central Government’s goal towards the stable economic develop- ment of Macau. We also firmly believe that as long as all walks of life in Macau are united, Macau will have a better and brighter future. Galaxy Entertainment Group is a patriotic company. We are loyal to the central government’s vision and hope that the territory fulfils its goal of turning Macau into a global centre of tourism and leisure.”
