SJM Resorts, S.A., a key player in promoting Macau as a leading international travel destination, recently held a successful product seminar at the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok. This seminar, part of their “The Legend of Macau” SJM Product Seminar Series, follows previous successful events in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, and Taiwan.
Over 100 attendees, including representatives from travel associations, agencies, business partners, and the Macao Government Tourism Office’s (MGTO) Thai office, gathered to learn about the diverse offerings Macau has to offer. Ms. Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM, emphasized the importance of Thailand as a potential visitor market for Macau and highlighted the seminar’s role in strengthening connections with the Thai travel trade.
The seminar showcased a range of exclusive packages specifically tailored for Thai travelers. These included the “Joyous Family Package” and the “Palazzo Versace Macau Experience Package,” available for booking at Grand Lisboa Palace Macau, THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU, and Palazzo Versace Macau until December 29.
