Recent shows booked by the Venetian include ISSA/InterClean, which is relocating an event previously held in Shanghai; World Tobacco Asia, which is relocating from Bali; and the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, which has
selected Macau for its 2008 Expo, an event being held this year in Bangkok.
Kenfair International has also signed a long-term contract with the Venetian to produce two trade shows a year.
“The momentum our MICE team has been experiencing is incredible and the current
demand is far beyond our expectations,” said William Weidner, president and chief
operating officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns the Venetian.
“Entire shows are relocating to Macau as they clearly recognise the advantages of staging a show with us.”
Separately, the Venetian has also announced current tennis world number one, Roger
Federer, will take on the former champion, Pete Sampras, at The Venetian Macau Tennis
Showdown on November 24.
The event, which is the grand finale of a three-leg match tour, will take place at the Venetian Macau’s new 15,000-seat arena.
