• GEG has hosted over 700 international conferences, entertainment performances, sports events and cultural activities at its properties since the launch of its Phase 3 projects.
• GEG will continue to support the Macau SAR Government to establish Macau as a “City of Performing Arts” and “City of Sports”.

Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) unveiled its Phase 3 project, focusing on non-gaming, at the end of 2023, presenting the vision: “The Future. Diversified. Celebrating Macau’s New Cultural & Entertainment Landmark”. This aligns with the Macau SAR government’s “1+4” diversification strategy, focusing on the development of Macau as a “City of Performing Arts” and “City of Sports”.

Contributing to the Development of the “City of Performing Arts”
Since their launch, the Galaxy Arena and Galaxy International Convention Center (GICC), along with other GEG venues, have successfully hosted over 700 international conferences, entertainment performances, sports events and cultural activities as of the end of 2024, attracting more than one million attendees from around the world to Macau.

As the largest indoor arena in Macau, the Galaxy Arena features state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technical support, accommodating up to 16,000 spectators. Since its inauguration, the venue has rapidly become a magnet for large-scale entertainment shows and international sports events from both regional and global organizers.

From 2023 to the present, GEG has hosted various entertainment events at the Galaxy Arena and its other venues. These have included world tours by top international pop groups and concerts by celebrated singers and artists from Asia and Greater China .

For example, Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau held four solo concerts at the Galaxy Arena in October this year. The concerts coincided with China’s National Day Golden Week effect, which included a record for single-day visitor arrivals in Macau during the holiday period, while GEG’s hotels achieved near-full occupancy rates. In addition, “A Full Moon Rising Above the Greater Bay Area – The Greater Bay Area Film Concert 2024” was held in September 2024. The gala brought together over 100 performing artists, musicians and Olympic athletes to celebrate the Greater Bay Area through music.

The economic and surrounding impacts generated by these concerts are a testament to GEG’s contribution to Macau’s development as a “City of Performing Arts”.

Promoting the Development of the “City of Sports”
GEG is one of Macau’s earliest integrated resort operators to support major sports events and has contributed to or organized over 100 sports activities to date.

In 2024, GEG continued its active role in hosting internationally acclaimed sports events. With the cutting-edge facilities and advanced technological applications at the Galaxy Arena, the venue has received widespread acclaim from organizers, athletes and audiences alike, showcasing Macau’s strength and appeal on the global sports stage.

In April, the “ITTF Men’s and Women’s World Cup Macao 2024” was held at the Galaxy Arena, with GEG serving as one of the event’s organizers. The announcement of the event sparked tremendous excitement, and tickets for the semi-finals and finals sold out in just 2.24 seconds after sales opened. The Chinese national team dominated the finals in both the men’s and women’s divisions, with Sun Yingsha and Ma Long claiming the women’s and men’s World Cup titles, respectively.

In June, the “Women’s Volleyball Nations League 2024 Macao Presented by Galaxy Entertainment Group” took place at the Galaxy Arena, with GEG co-organizing the event for the first time. Eight elite women’s volleyball teams, including Team China, gathered in Macau, drawing over 10,000 local and international volleyball fans who came to Macau to cheer for their favorite teams.

In September, the “WTT Champions Macao Presented by Galaxy Entertainment Group” table tennis tournament kicked off. This marked GEG’s fifth time supporting the event and its second year serving as a co-organizer. As the first major table tennis tournament following the 2024 Paris Olympics, the event garnered significant attention from fans. The tournament featured 32 of the world’s top male and female players, with China’s Lin Shidong and Sun Yingsha claiming the men’s and women’s singles titles, respectively.

In November, the globally renowned UFC returned to Macau after a decade, bringing UFC FIGHT NIGHT MACAU to the Galaxy Arena. The event showcased top-tier fighters in action-packed matches, drawing over 10,000 live spectators and capturing the attention of more than 7 billion online fans worldwide. Tickets sold out rapidly, underscoring the event’s massive popularity.

In December, GEG supported the “Galaxy Entertainment Macao International Marathon” for the 21st consecutive year, with the event attracting 12,000 participants. Since 2023, GEG has also served as a co-organizer of the marathon, further solidifying its commitment to promoting sports development in Macau.

Supporting the Development of a Multicultural Exchange Base
GEG actively supports Macau’s efforts to establish itself as a “One Center, One Platform, One Base”. By fostering artistic and cultural exchanges, GEG reinforces its role as a bridge for the “Exchange and Cooperation Base with Chinese Culture as the Mainstream and the Coexistence of Diverse Cultures”.

In late October, GEG presented its first-ever world-class opera event at GICC, “Galaxy Opera Gala with Plácido Domingo and Guests”. The performance featured the legendary Spanish opera singer Plácido Domingo alongside young musicians from China and other countries, delivering a high-level, cross-cultural musical exchange for audiences.

GEG is also actively involved in building Macau as a cultural exchange center between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, advancing multicultural integration.

In November, GEG and the Cultural Affairs Bureau co-organized the “2024 GEG Lusofonia Festival”, showcasing the music, handicrafts, traditional costumes and authentic cuisines of 10 Portuguese-speaking communities based in Macau. The event highlighted the charm of multiculturalism.

GEG has also partnered with the Cultural Affairs Bureau to host “China and Portuguese-speaking Countries Film Festival”, a major event of the sixth “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries”. The Film Festival screened nearly 30 Chinese and Portuguese-language films. In addition to hosting the opening screening at the Galaxy Cinemas, GEG also brought the festival to local communities, organizing outdoor screenings at the Lai Chi Vun Shipyards, the area revitalized through GEG’s partnership with the Macau SAR Government.

Looking ahead, GEG has affirmed its commitment to Macau, leveraging its position in the Greater China region to deepen its support for the “1+4” diversification strategy. The company aims to refine and strengthen its integrated tourism and leisure offerings, injecting new momentum into Macau’s development as a “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure” while highlighting the city’s unique cultural and tourism appeal.
