The recent tit-for-tat introduction of tariffs between the US and China will have a knock-on impact on Macau\u2019s gambling sector, according to one expert.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Inside Asian Gaming<\/em>, Macau Economic Association President Lau Pun Lap noted that while tariffs won\u2019t have a major impact on importing and exporting goods, the services sector could be hit hard.<\/p>\n

72% of visitors to Macau came from mainland China last year, and Pun said that the tariffs will, as a result, \u201cimpact on the export of integrated tourism services,\u201d with consumer confidence hit hard.<\/p>\n

Pun believes that total revenue could only hit MOP$230bn (US$29bn) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Recent results from the first quarter show some cause for concern. The MOP$57.6bn (US$7.2bn) revenue was underwhelming, with the government\u2019s forecast last year stating that the region\u2019s gaming revenue would hit MOP$240bn (US$30bn) in 2025. Pun believes that total revenue could only hit MOP$230bn (US$29bn) due to the possible impact on consumer spending.<\/p>\n
