Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China; the tiny island of 32.2 KM2 was formerly a Portuguese colony until it was ceded back to China in 1999
Macau has grown into a major resort city known for its world-famous casinos & a gambling industry that’s seven times the size of Las Vegas —it’s even know as the Las Vegas of the East
For a small city of just under 700,000, Macau has the fourth-highest life expectancy in the world, and equally stellar performance in human development, GDP per capita figures, adult literacy, social welfare, and free healthcare
Famous for its Portuguese colonial architecture, luxury hotels and resorts, fabulous egg tarts, and the Venetian Monaco —the world’s largest casino resort
Roughly 50% of Macau’s revenues comes from gambling tourism & the country has seen dramatic economic tremors such as in 2015 when the Mainland government commenced a crackdown on corruption and in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Macau attracts the crème de la crème of expats, digital nomads, and globe trotters who’re experienced in working remotely for brands and businesses based around the globe.
