For the future development of tourism in 2023—the new touristic orientation programmed by the government SAR. Las Vegas is considered as the gambling capital of the world. However, it’s definitely the gambling center for the United States. Macau was a former number one casino city of the world between 1999 and 2018 and did attracted many international visitors but it is in fact Asia’s casino playground. Half of the visitors to Las Vegas come from the Western United States. The rest comes from abroad, mainly from Western Europe. Many visitors from Las Vegas come here for family reason or sightseeing. Gaming tables are essential and it is Macau’s supremacy, not the slot machines. For its new touristic orientation Macau has to attract and follow the best of Hong Kong.
