Sands Shopping Carnival aims to revive Macau retail

Sands China is to launch the Sands Shopping Carnival at Venetian Macau next month to boost the local retail market.

Co-organized by the Macau Chamber of Commerce, the promotion will feature some 500 free booths for local SMEs and Sands retailers to promote their products. Besides shopping, the Sands Shopping Carnival will also feature an international cuisine zone, shows, lucky draws and activities for children.

“With this three-day, large-scale sale event, we hope to provide a free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers to gain more business opportunities,” said Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China.

“I am convinced that by bringing together international retail brands and local SMEs in the same venue, we can create huge synergistic effects that will help foster domestic consumption, thereby contributing to the gradual recovery of Macao’s economy,” Wong said.

The free-admission shopping event is scheduled to launch on August 7 with strict safety measures.
