It seems to be struggling with non-game investments.

As Zeng Zhongly, a professor at the Center for Game and Tourism Studies at Macau Polytechnic University, thinks, Macau's game operators will have to try to repeat the same mistakes that have already occurred with non-game investments to establish economic diversification in the region. Expanding investment in non-game projects: The professor thinks more creativity is needed to get back on track with non-game projects. If game operators want to stay on top for 10 years of concessions in Macau, that approach is needed. The Macau government recently decided that measures needed to diversify the regional economy include planning and implementing new strategies. Six game operators have already submitted proposals during the first quarter of this year, which has helped coordinate the government's plans. A public hearing is scheduled for June, when the audience can learn more about the changes. Zeng said the process requires a "future-oriented plan" for local governments. First of all, the government should analyze technological advances and make efforts to match customer preferences. However, if in the study, customers want something different and try to realize their hopes, operators and governments should be prepared to change and adjust their plans. Zeng emphasized the fact that Macau's tourism industry relies on ordinary visitors because the domestic market is virtually non-existent. Most visitors come from mainland China and Hong Kong, and if Macau wants to maintain its place in the Asian market, the market must change to satisfy its preferences. New suggestions from game operators: New contracts signed by the government with operators must submit proposals and investment plans during the first quarter, so operators submitted plans on March 16. Now it's time for the government to revise and adjust its own plans to create the best atmosphere for growing a strong gaming market. Macau is currently severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, and sales have begun to rise after the move was withdrawn, but more time will be needed to recover the market. Authorities want game operators to invest more resources in non-game facilities in Macau, and operators have agreed to invest more in MICE, entertainment and sports-related activities. Some operators, such as Studio City and Galaxy, are launching new non-game facilities.
