This time, the show will be set in Thailand, sparking excitement and anticipation for the country's tourism industry. Melco Resorts, a global integrated resort and casino operator, is among those eager to capitalize on the potential boost in visitors.
Melco Resorts is eyeing a casino concession in Thailand, with the company awaiting the final version of the regulations to finalize its bid. The company's chair, Lawrence Ho, is optimistic about the tourism potential in Thailand, drawing parallels with the success of the HBO series Deadwood in boosting tourism in South Dakota.
Melco Resorts believes that the third season of The White Lotus, set in Thailand, could encourage more people to visit the country. This increased tourism could potentially benefit gambling operators like Melco Resorts, as casino gaming is being considered in Thailand. Meanwhile, Thailand plans to greenlight five casino resorts, with potential locations including Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, and Chiang Mai. To spread holiday cheer, Melco Resorts recently paid a one-month discretionary bonus to its non-management team members in Macau and Hong Kong.
