Sands China Ltd

Sands China is looking to bounce back after a World Cup-related lull in Macau. The four-day Sands Shopping Carnival at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo drew record attendance in late July, boosting tourism, spending, and SME visibility. The event featured the largest food court in its history, a new Sports Experience Zone, and more retail deals than ever. Analysts forecast a 6% year-over-year decline in Macau’s July gaming revenue, partly due to tourist focus on the World Cup, with the official report due August 1.

The 2026 Sands Shopping Carnival attracted nearly 160,000 visits over four days, setting a record-high annual visitation in the event's history. Held from July 23 to 26 at The Venetian Macao's Cotai Expo, the seventh edition featured over 580 booths across eight themed zones, the largest-ever food court with 58 local eateries, and new additions including a Sports Experience Zone and cultural brands from the Greater Bay Area. The carnival has provided 4,000 complimentary booths for local SMEs since its 2020 launch, and cumulative visitation across all seven editions has reached 800,000. Organised by Sands China and co-organised by the Macao Chamber of Commerce, the event supports Macao's 'Tourism+' policy and economic diversification.

Sands China Ltd. has been named to the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index for the fifth consecutive year and the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index for the sixth consecutive year, remaining the world's only integrated resort operator concurrently listed on both indices. The recognition highlights the company's performance under its "People, Community, and Planet" ESG pillars. In the latest assessment, only Sands China and its parent Las Vegas Sands Corp. were selected for the World Index among 16 invited integrated resort operators globally, while Sands China was one of only two operators on the Asia Pacific Index. Las Vegas Sands Corp. was also named to the World and North America indices for the seventh straight year. Sands China reported a 61 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from a 2018 baseline, over 362,000 volunteer hours through its Sands Cares Ambassador Programme, and 1.8 million training hours provided in 2025 alone.

Sands China has hosted nearly 12,800 MICE events attracting over 15.7 million MICE visits since 2007, reinforcing Macao's position as a premier MICE tourism destination. The company's total MICE facilities span over 1.6 million square feet, anchored by Cotai Expo, the largest MICE facility in Macao, which opened with The Venetian Macao in 2007. In 2025 alone, Sands China recorded 380,000 room nights by international guests across its integrated resorts. Chief Executive Officer Grant Chum stated that the company will continue to align with the Macao SAR government's Tourism+ policy to further elevate Macao's global competitiveness and support economic diversification.
