Speaking to company team members, Sands China President Dr Wilfred Wong said, “Our team members’ resilience and collective spirit have not only guided us through the trials of recent years, but also propelled us into a period of rejuvenation. As tourism in Macau resumed after the pandemic, it was their concerted effort that smoothly transitioned our business back to full capacity, breathing life into our spaces once again.

“In 2023, we delivered a grand celebration at The Londoner Macao, hosted a dynamic array of large-scale exhibitions and performances, expanded the Sands China Academy, and strengthened community ties through volunteer service – all milestones that you turned into reality through your unwavering dedication.

“In light of our achievements, fuelled by your dedication, we are excited to express our gratitude through the announcement of the 2023 discretionary bonus award and 2024 salary increase.”
