84 === Macao ===
85
86 Macao is the largest gaming market in the world and the only market in China to offer legalized casino gaming. According to Macao government statistics issued publicly on a monthly basis by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (commonly referred to as the "DICJ"), annual gross gaming revenues were 42.20 billion patacas in 2022 (approximately $5.25 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022), a decrease of 51.4% and 85.6% compared to 2021 and 2019, respectively, due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
87
88
89 The company welcomed approximately 6 million visitors to Macao in 2022, compared to the approximately 8 million visitors in 2021. The company believe visitation will return to pre-pandemic levels and will continue to experience meaningful long-term growth. The company believe this growth will be driven by a variety of factors, including the movement of Chinese citizens to urban centers in China, continued growth of the Chinese outbound tourism market, the increased utilization of existing transportation infrastructure, the introduction of new transportation infrastructure and the continued increase in hotel room inventory in Macao and neighboring Hengqin Island. There has been significant investment announced and recently completed by concessionaires in new resort development projects on Cotai. These factors should help increase the critical mass on Cotai and further drive Macao's transformation into a leading business and leisure tourism hub in Asia. The company believe the development of additional integrated resort products in Macao will also drive a higher demand for gaming products.

91
92 === Singapore ===
93
94 Singapore is regarded as having the most developed financial and transportation infrastructure in the Southeast Asia region. Singapore has established itself as a destination for both business and leisure visitors, offering convention and exhibition facilities as well as world-class shopping malls and hotel accommodations. In 2006, after a competitive bid process, the Singapore government awarded two concessions to develop and operate two integrated resorts. Las Vegas Sands Corp was awarded the concession for the Marina Bay site, which is adjacent to Singapore's central business district, and Genting International was awarded the second site, located on Singapore's Sentosa Island.
95
96 Based on figures released by the STB, Singapore welcomed approximately 6.3 million international visitors in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, a 1,810.5% increase and a 67.0% decrease compared to the same period in 2021 and 2019, respectively. The 2022 increase compared to 2021 was due to the easing of travel restrictions in April 2022 that were originally implemented in early 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Tourism receipts were estimated to be SGD 1.89 billion (approximately $1.41 billion at exchange rates in effect on December 31, 2022) in 2021 (the latest information publicly available at the time of filing). The Gambling Regulatory Authority (the "GRA"), the gaming regulator in Singapore, does not disclose gaming revenue for the market and thus no official figure exists.
