The British branding of the Londoner Macao casino resort (pictured), which has a first-phase opening today (Monday, February 8), will be easily and instantly understood by visitors from mainland China, says Glenn McCartney, the United Kingdom’s honorary consul in Macau, and associate professor of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management at the University of Macau.
“It’s absolutely important that the Chinese traveller understands” a resort brand or other tourism brand, the academic told GGRAsia. In that regard, the Londoner Macao is “very clear”, he stated.
“You can invent your own branding” for a tourism resort, but “that takes some time to ramp up,” he added.
