New MICE Destination Set to Open in Macau

Galaxy Entertainment Group has unveiled the Galaxy International Convention Center and Galaxy Arena, a new integrated resort and MICE destination for Macau.

The new complex is set to open in Macau in the first half of 2021, together with the spectacular events venue Galaxy Arena, and Andaz Macau, a vibrant luxury lifestyle hotel seamlessly integrated into the property.

Macau is a uniquely attractive destination for domestic and international MICE organizers. The city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, with more than 20 historical locations, has a rich cultural heritage for visitors to explore, while Macau remains a food lovers’ paradise designated as a UNESCO city of gastronomy. The city’s transport links and infrastructure have also recently been enhanced, most notably with the newly-opened Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the world’s longest sea-crossing, which dramatically improves Macau’s connectivity with the region’s Greater Bay Area.

Macau is also seamlessly connected by direct flights to major cities in Greater China and over 200 cities worldwide via three major international airports, including Macau International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport and Zhuhai International Airport, with over 94 million passengers passing through these gateways in 2018.

Galaxy International Convention Center promises to be a world-class event venue with a total MICE space of 40,000sqm. Featuring breathtaking design, advanced facilities and equipped with immersive technology, state-of-the-art audio-visual and lighting, latest communication system, and flexible event space catering, the GICC introduces many world-class features, including a 10,000sqm pillar-less Exhibition Hall for trade shows; an Auditoriumseating 650 guests for keynote sessions, ceremonies, performances and product launches; a Banquet Hall seating 2,400 guests; a 4,000sqm Conference Hallconsisting of three partitionable spaces; and a Ballroom catering for over 1,000 guests.

Additionally, the 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena is set to become Macau’s ultimate integrated entertainment venue for world-tour concerts and spectacular large-scale sporting events.

Galaxy International Convention Center connects seamlessly with multiple award-winning integrated resort Galaxy Macau, with Macau’s largest collection of luxury hotel brands under one roof – The Ritz-Carlton, Macau, Banyan Tree Macau, JW Marriott Hotel Macau, Hotel Okura Macau, Galaxy Hotel and Broadway Hotel.

Poised to open a new chapter for MICE tourism, guests also enjoy easy access to 1.1 million sqm of unique entertainment, shopping and leisure attractions. These include 120 dining options at Galaxy Macau, some of which have been garnered such prestigious accolades as the Michelin Stars, and Broadway Food Street at Broadway Macau which is just a link bridge away from Galaxy Macau.
