A series of nearly 60 roadshow sessions hosted by Melco Resorts & Entertainment has helped almost 60 local small & medium enterprises (SMEs) and NGOs generate almost MOP 3.7 million revenue in 2020, providing opportunities for business promotion and direct selling to 16,000 colleagues working at Melco’s properties in Macau. The final roadshow of the year, the Christmas Bazaar, was held last month across the Company’s employee-only Heart of House areas at Melco properties including City of Dreams, Studio City and Altira; concluding with a revenue total of more than MOP 460,000 for local SMEs. Offerings included Food & Beverage, Electronics, Household Goods, Personal Items, Skincare and Clothing.
Ms. Akiko Takahashi, Executive Vice President and Chief of Staff to Chairman & CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “Melco continues to gladly support and collaborate with local SMEs and NGOs through our innovative Heart of House roadshow series to help vendors generate revenue as well as market exposure, especially through the unprecedented challenges of the past 12 months. Via roadshows and further ongoing programs such as the Melco SME Academy, the ‘Knowing You, Knowing Us’ campaign and Express Payment Scheme, we strive to continue realizing our commitment to the local community — to enhance SME prosperity and to help local businesses succeed.”
Christmas Bazaar roadshow participant Ms. Lily Wong, Founder of Chchi-Cuchi Bookhouse, said, “We are grateful for the invitation from Melco, enabling us to join the SME roadshow for the first time at Studio City as a local micro enterprise. The atmosphere in the employee area is wonderful and it’s been a great platform for us to promote our books, games and products as well as being a great opportunity to promote parent-child learning and reading activities.” Another SME participant, Mr. Kong, Person in charge at WhatZup Limited, added, “Thank you to Melco for allowing SMEs like ourselves the chance to promote our businesses within the Heart of House areas. The helpful support offered to us by Melco before, during and after the event is much appreciated.”
