Abstract

Abstract

While the Chinese GenX spend largely in gambling activities during their visits to the destinations which are famous for their casino tourism industry, the GenY have shown less enthusiasm to be the high rollers. Regarding the Chinese GenZ, their spending behaviours in casino tourism will continue to exhibit changes and differences comparing to the GenX and GenY, especially for the non-gaming expenditure. Considering the potential purchasing power of GenZ, it is important for integrated resorts operators to understand the changing consumption behaviour of this new generation. For this, online questionnaire survey and analysis of narratives are employed to explore and uncover the changing behaviours of Chinese GenZ in their casino tourism trips. Therefore, implications from marketing perspectives are analysed for IR operators to make precision marketing strategies of gaming devices and non-gaming services, which contributes to the future development and sustained growth of the IRs in the Asian markets, including Macao.

This article explicates the potential changes in the spending behaviours of the Chinese GenZ in their casino tourism trips, and navigates the IR operators to optimize precision marketing strategies of gaming devices and non-gaming service to sustain the future growth in Asian markets.
