Your Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Talent needed for successful growth in Macau: panel

Good Morning. Macau's non-gaming aspirations are laudable, note the heads of Macau's top chambers of commerce, however, the policies for attracting talent are falling far behind regional offerings, leaving the city little room to compete. While the non-gaming push has been mandated, only certain programs, such as a new incentive to encourage local events at IRs, are gaining as much traction as is needed for a profitable industry.
