Macau gaming operator Sands China Chairman Patrick Dumont has described Macau as an ‘ideal market’ for additional capital investment in his first Chairman’s Statement after assuming the role on March 1st, signaling continued confidence in the city’s long-term growth outlook.
In the statement, published in the company’s 2025 annual report, Dumont said the company “remains confident in the future of Macau” and reiterated its commitment to further investment, including approximately $4.5 billion in capital and operating expenditure during the current concession period through 2032.
The remarks come after Sands China reported total net revenues of $7.44 billion in 2025, up 5.1 percent year-on-year, supported by a recovery in travel and tourism spending. This recovery was boosted by visitation to Macau exceeding 40 million in 2025, compared with around 35 million in 2024 and 28 million in 2023, according to the company.
Dumont also highlighted the group’s ongoing investment strategy, noting that Sands China has deployed approximately $17 billion in Macau to support economic diversification and tourism development, including hotel capacity, retail, and MICE facilities.
He added that developments such as The Londoner Macao are designed to enhance the city’s appeal as a leisure and business tourism destination while reinforcing the company’s integrated resort model.
Dumont said continued infrastructure development across Macau and the Greater Bay Area is expected to support further growth in visitation and spending, underpinning the company’s long-term investment strategy.
