Macau concessionaire Sands China told Inside Asian Gaming it has never charged any entry fees to its Macau integrated resorts amid calls for a crackdown on illegal tour group operators.
The comments were in response to reports that a tour group operator from mainland China had charged its customers RMB200 (US$28) each to enter The Venetian Macao. In response to IAG’s inquiries, Sands China confirmed that none of its resorts have ever charged any entrance fee.
The incident was circulated on mainland social platform “Little Red Book” (Xiaohongshu). A mainland tour group alleged on the platform that another group seen marketing a luxury five-day, four-night tour to Hong Kong and Macau charged its guests for various “expenses” including Venetian tour tickets at RMB200.
