G2E Asia 2011 Links Exhibitors With World's Fastest Growing
Markets
Products and Services Showcasing Opportunities Amongst Asia's
Booming Gaming Industry Leaders
MACAU, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Building on its
record of success in recent years, Global Gaming Expo Asia (G2E
Asia) 2011 will be held June 7-9 at the Cotai Stip CotaiExpo at the
Venetian Macao. The region's top gaming event, G2E Asia combines
leading-edge exhibitions, trend-setting conference programs, and an
unmatched group of industry leaders and offers exceptional business
platforms and networking opportunities for equipment suppliers,
service providers and operators to tap the booming Asian gaming
market.
G2E Asia 2011 features a revamped exhibit floor and
multi-faceted promotional support to connect exhibitors with
customers and new buyers. The Security and Surveillance Pavilion
and the Green/Lighting Pavilion showcase these leading product
categories in response to growing regional demand. The newly
developed My G2E Asia Show Planner helps buyers customize exhibit
floor visits for maximum efficiency, including contacting
exhibitors to set up appointments during the show and submitting
requests for product information. This year's enhanced exhibitor
promotion offerings also include outreach to potential customers
through social networking and exhibitor highlights in industry
e-newsletters and other online publications -- all designed to
ensure exhibitors comprehensive exposure to the dramatic growth
opportunities in Asia.
"Asia is increasingly where the growth is in global gaming, and
research indicates the trend has only just begun," said Brian
Thomas, vice president gaming of Reed Exhibitions. "G2E Asia 2011
gathers the gaming industry together at the epicenter of new
opportunities at the time when major projects in Macau and beyond
are moving rapidly toward completion phase. It's the right event,
in the right place, at the right time to benefit from the growth
sweeping the gaming industry in Asia."
In close proximity of the G2E Asia 2011 venue, Sands China and
Galaxy Entertainment Group are enhancing their footprint in Cotai -
Macau's new gaming hub. Every other Macau gaming concessionaire
also is planning new projects in Cotai. The city's gaming revenue
growth has been remarkable, reaching $22.4 billion last year, an
increase of 58 percent, and confirming its place as the world's top
gaming market with more than twice the gaming revenue of the entire
state of Nevada.
Beyond Macau, multi-billion dollar gaming projects are due for
completion within the next two years across Asia. The openings of
the first phase of Bagong Nayong Pilipino Manila Bay Entertainment
City in the Philippines and the MGM Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam will
put those countries on the world's travel map as global gaming
destinations and drive further development in both markets. In
Cambodia and Laos, gaming is expanding to record levels, while
legalization will be implemented next year in Sri Lanka, tipped by
The New York Times as the latest trendy tourism spot.
Leading accounting and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers
forecasts a compound annual growth of 23.6 percent for Asia-Pacific
gaming markets in the five years to 2014. G2E Asia 2011 puts
exhibitors in prime position to share in this surge of expansion
across the region.
