The Parisian Macao will mark its 10th anniversary on Sept. 13. Over the past decade, the integrated resort has not only evolved into a landmark on the Cotai Strip, but has also demonstrated Sands China’s steadfast confidence in Macao’s long-term growth, as well as its enduring commitment to expanding non-gaming elements, supporting Macao’s economic diversification and its status as World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
As a pioneer in Macao's integrated resort model, Sands China has maintained a strategic focus on non-gaming businesses for over 20 years, including hotels, retail, entertainment, MICE and cultural tourism experiences, all in a bid to drive Macao's economic diversification. The Parisian Macao stands as a key manifestation of this vision and its opening on Sept. 13, 2016 marked the completion of Sands China's interconnected integrated resort cluster in Cotai.
Sands China has dedicated significant efforts to developing The Parisian Macao into a world-class tourist attraction. Following four years of planning, The Parisian Macao's Eiffel Tower was built at half the scale of the original in Paris. Meticulously crafted using over 2,800 tonnes of steel and 6,600 lights, and refined through more than 4,500 design drawings, the tower faithfully captures the spirit of the iconic Parisian landmark. Integrating diverse experiences ranging from observation decks and the love lock bridge to the panoramic restaurant La Chine and light shows, the tower has shaped the distinctive Cotai skyline over the past decade while creating the setting for countless festive and cherished romantic moments with both visitors and residents.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: The 10th anniversary of The Parisian Macao marks a significant milestone in Sands China's longstanding commitment to supporting Macao's economic diversification, while also standing as a testament to our shared journey with the city. Over the past decade, The Parisian Macao has continually enriched Macao'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 Macao. 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 Macao's economic diversification. We look forward to working closely with all sectors of society to help shape an even brighter future for Macao."
Over the past 10 years, Sands China has continued to invest in and enrich The Parisian Macao's non-gaming offerings. The property now boasts over 2,540 hotel rooms, approximately 62,000 square feet of MICE facilities and the 1,200-seat Parisian Theatre. Shoppes at Parisian, covering approximately 297,000 square feet, has brought the Macao debut of many international fashion brands, further enriching the city's retail and tourism experience. The resort also features family-friendly facilities such as Qube Kingdom and Aqua World, all of which are complemented by a diverse array of dining options. Together, these amenities provide expansive leisure experiences for family, business and leisure travellers alike while strengthening Macao's position as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.
The Parisian Macao has played a significant role in the fields of entertainment, culture and the arts. Over the years, The Parisian Theatre has presented spectacular performances from around the world, including the hit musical Thriller Live, which took London's West End by storm, and Crazy Horse Paris, the world-renowned French cabaret revue with a history spanning more than 75 years. These productions have brought diverse international cultural experiences to Macao, continuously contributing to the city's development as a "City of Performing Arts." Sands China has also integrated arts and culture into guest experiences through themed exhibitions such as Le Petit Prince and the Pop Mart series, as well as art exhibitions co-organised with the Macau Artist Society, the Art for All Society, and the Orient Foundation. These initiatives have further enriched the cultural ambience of The Parisian Macao and showcased Macao's unique charm as a platform for cultural exchange between China and the West.
