Inside Asian Gaming

IAG JUL 2023年7月 亞博匯 66 AWS: So, at the end of the three years, do you see a future for Success Universe and for Ponte 16 as a satellite casino? Do you see yourself going beyond those three years? DrMa: Certainlyweare confident that it’s going to go beyond that. And certainly we are confident that this location will remain, if not better, at least as popular as a tourist location. AWS: In signing its new 10- year concession contract in December, SJM said it was planning on a major redevelopment around this area, around Ponte 16. I’m sure your company has been consulted about that. Do you have anything that you can tell us about the redevelopment and what’s planned? Dr Ma: I think it’s really relying on what has been developed, as I mentioned earlier, to begin with. This property was designed to create synergy between ourselves and the local businesses. Now, it hasn’t been moving as quickly, but with the current term of government we have seen a lot of effort around wanting to bring in more for the local people. And I think when it comes to bringing business opportunities to look after the local people, this location is undoubtedly one of the best locations with all of these old shops, old buildings. Obviously, some of these old buildings will be kept as heritage and some will be redeveloped, so there are a lot of opportunities that can be generated through this theme. 透過我們在這個地點和營運這個項目的 經驗，我認為只要在賭牌存在的情況 下，我們將保持良好的合作關係，餘下 的是關於我們如何議定租金或管理費。 AWS：那麼，在這三年結束時，您認 為實德環球及其澳門十六浦仍是衛星賭 場？三年後還會繼續有關業務？ 馬博士： 我們當然有信心，有關業務將 會持續。我們也當然對這個物業深有信 心，繼續保持其為受歡迎的旅遊地點。 AWS：在12月簽署新的十年期博彩專 營批給合約時，澳博透露正計劃在這地 區、十六浦附近進行大規模的重新規劃 IN FOCUS 發展。我相信貴公司在這方面有提出意 見。關於這重新發展規劃，您有甚麼可 以告訴我們？ 馬博士： 正如我之前提到的，我認為這 是在現有基礎上發展。這個物業的設計 是為了在我們公司和本地企業之間創造 協同效應。 現在，相關進展雖沒有那麼快， 但 我們已經看到現任政府致力為本地人帶 來更多效益。我認為當涉及到為本地人 帶來商機時，這裡是最好的地點之一， 因為有老店和古舊建築。顯然地，一些 古舊建築將被保留為文化遺產，一些將 被重新開發，所以這規劃發展會帶來很 多機遇。
