Macau averaged over 120,000 visitors a day during this year’s Labor Day holiday, according to data from the Public Security Police. A total of 604,395 visitors entered Macau between May 1 and May 5, including the Labor Day holiday in mainland China, Macau’s main tourism supply market.

The daily tally for the period was nearly 8% below the 130,000 daily visitors forecast weeks before the holiday by the Macau government’s tourism agency.

Friday was 154,006, the highest single-day tally for five days. The holiday Saturday was accompanied by thunderstorms and heavy rain in the mainland Guangdong province, which borders Macau.

The police data does not include source market analysis for inbound visitors.

However, they show that the border crossing between Macau and Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, which is the closest province, was the busiest. The border crossing handled a total of 261,805 visitors during the five days.

The second busiest border checkpoint is the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge crossing, with a total of 106,499 visitors arriving during the same period.

GGRAsia confirmed the hotel’s own booking site and said that almost a week before the Labor Day holiday season, some luxury hotels at Macau casino resorts already don’t have rooms available for that night.

A local GGRA inspection on May 2 saw many tourists in downtown Macau and the new Kotai casino district, as well as some of the city’s main casino floors.

The most common minimum bets on baccarat tables ranged from HK$1,000 ($128) to HK$1,500. The new “Small 6/Big 6” baccarat side bets were also used in the Macau market.

JP Morgan said in a recent note that the Macau casino market’s Labor Day holiday period this year is likely to generate daily gross gaming revenue (GGR) between MOP 800 million and MOP 850 million. “This represents a GGR recovery of approximately 75% versus Golden Week in May 2019, representing a 110 to 120% recovery of stable bulk GGR from recent trends,” the investment bank said.

Casino group Las Vegas Sands Corp., the parent company of Macau casino operator Sands China, will issue $1.75 billion in senior unsecured bonds, according to Tuesday’s prospectus. Proceeds from the issue will be used to refinance the company’s $1.75 billion due in August this year.

The notes will be issued in three tranches: $750 million is a senior note due in June 2027, $500 million is a 6.000% note due in August 2029, and $500 million is a 6.200% note due in August 2034.

Las Vegas Sands also operates the Marina Bay Sands Casino Resort in Singapore.

Moody’s has given Las Vegas Sands a “Baa3” rating on its proposed draft issuance. “All grades of the company remain unchanged, including the previous “Baa3″ rating on senior unsecured notes,” the rating agency said in a Tuesday report. The casino group’s outlook is “stable,” the agency added.

The refinancing of Las Vegas Sands “improves the maturity profile of the company,” according to Moody’s

“The stable outlook reflects our expectation that visitation and gaming revenue will continue to increase in 2024, allowing Las Vegas Sands to recover its credit metrics to a level consistent with our expectations,” the rating agency added.

“Given Macau’s continued recovery, Singapore’s strength and deleveraging from EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization] growth, we are well positioned to tap into debt capital markets to address maturities in 2024,” CBRE Capital Advisors Inc observed in a note on Tuesday.

“This issue was expected and as 2024 maturities are resolved, the focus of Las Vegas Sands in the second half of 2024 could shift to $1.8 billion due in Sands China in 2025 and another $500 million at the Las Vegas Sands level,” analysts Colin Mansfield and Connor Parks wrote.

“Las Vegas Sands should be a regular unsecured issuer over the next few years, and its credit profile provides exposure to two strong global gaming jurisdictions, a carefully managed balance sheet and shareholder returns strategy, and moderate leverage,” they added.

Las Vegas Sands’ total leverage in the first quarter “improved from 3.6 to 3.3 times quarter-on-quarter, primarily driven by EBITDA growth,” according to CBRE

“In our first quarter 2024 earnings call, [Las Vegas Sands] management reiterated their commitment to longstanding financial policy of maintaining investment ratings and “2.0 to 3.0 times” total leverage,” the CBRE team said.

Coach Bangsang Kompany does not seem to have agonized when he received Bayern Munich’s offer.

“The issue of appointing Munich’s next head coach is likely to finally end,” Germany’s “Bavarian Football” reported on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time). The final candidate will be Kompany, who led Burnley.

The media reported multiple news outlets. In particular, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, said, “Munich Bodzean was fascinated by Kompany’s vision and ideas. I think he has the potential to become a top coach. Now, Burnley has a compensation fee issue. Kompany accepted Munich’s offer after five minutes.”

Kompany is a young leader who is 38 years old now. He spent most of his career at Manchester City. Since joining Manchester City in 2008, he has been praised as the best defender of the Premier League as he has played top-notch for over 10 years. He then moved to his former club Anderlecht, where he made his professional debut, and immediately began his career as a coach after retirement.

Then, he assumed the leadership of Burnley ahead of the last season. After repeated promotion and relegation, Burnley ranked 18th in the 2021-22 season and dropped to the English Championship (minority 2). To reorganize the team, he appointed Kompany. Despite the chaotic situation with key players leaving the team and decreasing financial support, Kompany quickly reorganized the team.

Then, he won promotion to the PL in just one season. He didn’t lead the league from the beginning. However, Burnley under Kompany has been on the lead since November 2022, when he reached his halfway point for the season. In the end, he clinched promotion and won the title with seven games left in the league.

However, this season, which was the first season of promotion, ended regrettably. Burnley had only five wins in the league throughout the season. His final result was 18th in the league with five wins, nine draws and 24 losses in 38 games. Eventually, he will return to the championship stage in a year.

At the same time, there was a possibility that Munich would take over. Munich had difficulty finding a successor to Tuchel. Munich ended the season with disappointing results. It was eliminated from all competitions and ended with no win. In particular, even the German Bundesliga, which had won for 11 consecutive seasons, gave up its throne to Leverkusen. Then, it decided to separate from Tuchel at the end of February.

There was a possibility of immediate dismissal at the time, but the team decided that there was no suitable person for interim head coach. The team is also working on naming its next head coach. Many candidates were mentioned, including Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso and former Munich coach Hanji Flick, but all failed.

In the meantime, The Times reported that Munich is considering appointing Kompany as its new manager. Munich decided to separate from Tuchel and chose to appoint its next coach, but this did not happen as desired. Kompany made a surprise report saying that despite experiencing relegation from Burnley this season, Kompany has been nominated.

Since the news first broke, coach Kompany’s trip to Munich has continued to take shape. It was argued that only the compensation agreement with Burnley remained.

In the 1970s, Korea was a struggling nation, still grappling with the aftermath of the Korean War that had ravaged the country from 1950 to 1953. Faced with widespread poverty, the government was fervently pursuing a strategy of “export-led economic growth” in an effort to industrialize and transform the economy.

For ordinary Koreans, opportunities to learn about the world beyond their borders were extremely limited. Foreign travel was both restricted and rare, requiring government permits for those who wished to visit other countries. Television sets, a luxury item at the time, were beyond the financial reach of most Korean families and thus not a common source of information. As a result of these constraints on their access to external information, many Koreans remained relatively unaware of small, distant countries like Panama.

During that era of information scarcity, boxing legend Hong Soo-hwan played a unique and pivotal role in introducing the Korean public to Panama and its people, providing them with a rare glimpse into the distant land they knew little about.

His dramatic victory over Panama’s rising boxer Héctor Carrasquilla in the bout for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super bantamweight title marked a milestone event that sparked a newfound awareness and interest in Panama among Koreans.

In 1977, the 27-year-old Korean boxer made a grueling journey to Panama for a match that would become one of the greatest sports moments in Korean history. The trip was an arduous and time-consuming endeavor, as there were (and still are) no direct flights between Korea and Panama.

He recounted that his journey to Panama turned into an unintended “world tour,” as he had to change flights in several global cities, including Tokyo, Hawaii, Los Angeles, New York, and Rio de Janeiro, before finally reaching his destination. The one-way trip took 10 days.

At just 17 years old, Carrasquilla was a fearless and formidable boxer, aptly nicknamed the “Devil from Hell.” With a record of 11 consecutive knockouts, he was a fierce opponent for Hong in their highly anticipated match. The first round was 한국을 relatively uneventful, but in the second round, Carrasquilla unleashed a relentless barrage of punches, knocking Hong down four times. Despite these setbacks, Hong managed to rise each time and continued to fight.

In a stunning display of resilience, Hong made a miraculous comeback in the third round, delivering a decisive knockout that left Carrasquilla unable to get up. With this victory, Hong clinched the WBA super bantamweight title, making history as the first Korean boxer to hold world championship titles in two different weight classes — the WBA and The Ring bantamweight titles in 1974 and the WBA super bantamweight title in 1977.

His relentless perseverance and dramatic victory generated a tremendous buzz. The way he rose from four knockdowns in the previous round to deliver a knockout blow in the third round was so extraordinary that many people regarded the outcome as being legendary rather than just a victory.

Hong rose to stardom, becoming a household name and receiving a rock-star welcome back home. Wearing a flower garland around his neck, he and his mother and older brother were honored with a jubilant vehicle parade from Gimpo International Airport to City Hall in the heart of Seoul.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has become the first Korean shipbuilder to sign a master ship repair agreement (MSRA) with the U.S. Naval Supply Systems Command, the company said Thursday.

An MSRA is necessary for privately owned shipbuilders to enter the U.S. naval vessel maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) market.

Under the recent agreement, therefore, the Korean firm outpaced its rivals in terms of qualifications for participating in bids over the next five years to maintain and repair the U.S. Navy’s combatant ships and the U.S. Military Sealift Command’s auxiliary ships.

After HD HHI applied for the MSRA in May last year, the U.S. authorities finished their due diligence 대표하는 activities concerning the Korean firm’s facilities and the quality of its products in January. Inspections of its security and finances were done in March and May, respectively.

Based on the latest agreement with the U.S. government and the ongoing MRO for the Philippine Navy, the shipbuilder seeks to expand its presence in other Asian countries and Latin America.

In addition, the company expects orders from the U.S. government for the construction of naval and other government-owned vessels.

Tzuyang (real name Park Jung-won), 27, a famous “mukbang” (a Korean word for eating show) YouTuber with over 10 million subscribers, revealed that she was a victim of illegal filming and violence at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, who was also the CEO of her agency.

She also claimed that he defrauded her to the tune of 4 billion won ($3.1 million) due to improper payment settlements from her broadcasts. Although she eventually pursued legal action, the case was dismissed due to no grounds for prosecution following the perpetrator’s death.

Tzuyang’s revelations were made in response to allegations made earlier in the day by the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute, which claimed that YouTubers affiliated with “Cyber Wreckers,” referring to those who engage in online harassment or defamation to cause harm or extort money from others, had blackmailed her for tens of millions of won by threatening to expose her past.

Tzuyang held a live broadcast titled “I Will Tell You Everything” on her YouTube channel, Thursday. This broadcast was in response to a revelation made the previous 대표하는 day by the YouTube channel “GaSeYeon” (Garo Sero Institute), which alleged that Tzuyang had been blackmailed by multiple cyberstalkers using her past as leverage to extort money from her.

Tzuyang used this opportunity to clarify her past. She said the events occurred while dating her ex-boyfriend, Mr. A, whom she met when she was a university student.

“I tried to break up because he showed violent behavior, but he threatened to distribute an illegal video he had taken of me, so I couldn’t leave him,” she said.

Korea’s economic growth has resumed after overcoming a temporary slowdown caused by high global prices and sluggish exports following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said, Thursday.

In its report, “OECD Economic Surveys: Korea 2024,” the organization attributed the country’s strengthened growth largely to the strong global demand for semiconductors.

The OECD also projected private consumption in Korea to recover starting in the second half of this year, despite high inflation and soaring interest rates.

Based on these assessments, the OECD maintained its growth outlook for Korea at 2.6 percent for this year, the same projection it made in May. At that time, the organization 대표하는 had notably revised the outlook up by 0.4 percentage point from its previous projection of 2.2 percent made in February.

Inflation in Korea was forecast at 2.5 percent, down 0.1 percentage point from the May projection.

“Growth has strengthened after a soft patch, largely reflecting the fortunes of semiconductor exports,” the OECD said in the report.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) will consider lowering the key interest rate at an appropriate time, underpinned by tempered inflation, the country’s top monetary policymaker said, Thursday, in a significant dovish shift in tone suggesting an end to the 12 consecutive rate freezes over the past 18 months. He cautioned against expectations of an imminent rate cut. The central bank kept the key rate unchanged at 3.5 percent. 

Chief among the risk factors in easing is the pace of household debt growth, a major financial stability consideration tied almost exclusively to the most interest-sensitive 커뮤니티 spending, according to Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong. Also coming into play to a greater extent are the country’s growth profile and currency value.

The BOK easing preceding the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) is not a possibility, in his view, a stance reflective of plunging value of the Korean won feared to crash further only to disturb months of stabilizing inflation dynamics.

Two of six monetary policy committee members were open to the possibility of easing in the next three months, he added, a forward guidance on the three-month horizon.
