Shangri-La Hotels and
Resorts has opened a new toll-free telephone number - 0800 880 - for customers calling to make reservations from Macau.
Customers calling from Macau are answered at Shangri-La worldwide reservations centres located in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, where bookings can be made for any of Shangri-La’s 50 properties.
“We have introduced this service since outbound travel from Macau is on
the increase and it is already a major hub for several airlines which
operate flights to many destinations at which our hotels are located,”
said Martin F. Waechter, Shangri-La chief marketing officer. “We also
recognize that outbound traffic can only increase as Macau continues its
headlong pace to becoming ‘Asia’s Las Vegas’.”
The 600-room Shangri-La Hotel, Macau and 1,200-room Traders Hotel,
Macau, both opening in 2008, will occupy a 39-floor tower on the Cotai Strip. A full range of facilities and services will cater to both
convention and leisure travellers to the city. The tower will include a
casino, performance hall and large retail shopping mall, none of which will be operated by Shangri-La.
The properties are being built by Las Vegas Sands Corp. Cotai, dubbed “Asia’s Las Vegas,” is a master planned development of hotel properties,
casinos, entertainment attractions, retail, and meetings and conventions facilities, projected to become the world’s largest gaming and
entertainment centre.
