POISED to be one of the most advanced MICE destinations in Asia when it opens in the second half of this year, Macau’s Galaxy International Convention Center (GICC) has already garnered multiple awards for MICE and Environmental Design.
According to Kevin Kelley, Chief Operating Officer, Macau at Galaxy Entertainment Group said GICC and Andaz Macau, a vibrant new luxury lifestyle hotel located within the event facility, both received awards from leading MICE publications in China. GICC has also become the first in Macau to receive the coveted Silver Certification for Environmental Design from EARTHCHECK, the world’s leading scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for travel and tourism.
“We are excited to see GICC building an award-winning foundation by achieving multiple accolades in advance of its opening this year. Receiving recognition from China’s MICE industry reaffirms the demands of meeting planners searching for new and innovative destinations to host their events,” he said.
Kevin Kelley explained that seamlessly situated within Galaxy Macau, the world-class luxury integrated resort, GICC will offer 40,000m2 of versatile meeting space, a 650-seat auditorium and the 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena – all in one location. For large-scale exhibitions, GICC offers 10,000m2 of pillar-less convention and exhibition areas that can cater for 7,000 delegates.
“We are also pleased to be the first in Macau to earn Silver Certification for Environmental Design from EarthCheck. This is a significant milestone, as EarthCheck recognizes the innovative thinking and meticulous technical designs behind GICC to ensure sustainability well into the future,” he concluded.
