Kris Kaminsky, senior vice president of hotel operations at Sands China, stated: “… By supporting events like the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Macau Urological Association, we are not only providing world-class facilities but also contributing to the city’s broader goals of becoming a global hub for the Big Health industry. Our commitment to the MICE sector is deeply intertwined with supporting initiatives that drive long-term growth for Macao’s economy and its healthcare ecosystem.”
