The Rich Tapestry of Sands Lifestyle
A vital element of the innovative destination showcase was introducing Sands Lifestyle and its deep connection with the city of Macao, with each Sands Lifestyle pillar represented as an opulent fabric with defined prints.
The Fabric of Macao includes the exquisite Portuguese 'azulejos' tiles, which symbolise the enduring beauty of Art and Culture; signature cobblestone pavements for the iconic Destination of Macao; an auspicious Chinese good luck knot for Connection of people, places and experiences; shimmering gold for the glamorous Fashion scene; a lotus flower pattern in earth tones for Health and Wellness; a wine stain inspired pattern for Gastronomy; and the seventh, a radiant sequin pattern representing Entertainment.
A Wow of an Evening
The sensational dinner event began with an impressive arrival experience that was inspired by Macao's winding streets and alleyways. Guests entered through a tunnel of fabrics featuring the different prints that make up The Fabric of Macao, accompanied by a curated mix from Macao DJ Luis and a Japanese instrumentalist. This interactive entrance allowed guests to feel the multi-faceted appeal of Macao and Sands Lifestyle in a tangible way while appreciating a dynamic fusion of sounds. Numerous photo opportunities added a touch of art and whimsy.
Guests were then treated to a wonderful display of Macao's artistry in motion as Macanese artist Ada Zhang created a charming painting combining the landmarks of Macao and Tokyo. They also sampled traditional Dragon's Beard Candy at the Yau Kei Candy Live Demonstration Station.
This was followed by a refined dinner of gastronomic delights and three stunning entertainment acts. The electrifying dance performance 'Welcome to Macao' transported guests to the landmarks of Macao including the Ruins of St. Paul's and Senado Square. 'Bloom', inspired by the latest artwork 'Floating Flower Garden: Flowers and I are of the Same Root, the Garden and I are One' at teamLab SuperNature Macao, celebrated Sands Lifestyle's classic-meets-innovative style, with the unexpected appearance of a performer in a gorgeous orchid-covered dress, accompanied by an elegant string arrangement of contemporary music and a runway show featuring the latest collection from Macao fashion designer Nuno Lopes. The finale, 'Londoner Takeover', was a spectacular display of British icons, with Scots Guards, Beefeaters and Bobbies performing to the sounds of The Beatles' 'Come Together', marking a perfect end to a perfect evening.
Having showcased the best of Macao to travel partners, meeting organisers and media in Japan Sands Resorts Macao looks forward to welcoming attendees to Macao to experience more of Sands Lifestyle's unparalleled experiences and events.
