The 14th Annual Meetings Arabia & Luxury Travel (MALT) Congress 2026 will bring together Middle East travel leaders to explore the future of luxury and MICE travel, with Sands Resorts Macao as Platinum Sponsor.

Scheduled for 11–12 February at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, the congress offers an exclusive platform for travel planners to engage with world-class destinations redefining luxury experiences through scale, sophistication, and culturally immersive offerings tailored to the region’s discerning travellers.

Sands Resorts Macao will showcase its integrated resorts, combining MICE capabilities with leisure, wellness, dining, and entertainment in one seamless journey.

For Sands Resorts Macao, this aligns closely with our vision of positioning Macao as a natural extension of Middle East long-haul luxury travel, supported by seamless access, world-class infrastructure, and culturally aware hospitality. Macao’s internationalization strategy recognizes the Middle East for its outbound growth and appetite for premium, experience-led travel.”

Tanpure adds: “At MALT 2026, we are excited to present Sands Resorts Macao as a destination that perfectly blends scale, luxury, and ease of access, three priorities for Middle East planners today. Our resorts are designed to host large international conferences while still offering highly personalized experiences. For leisure travelers, Macao goes beyond the usual long-haul options, offering a rich mix of culture, world-class dining, entertainment, shopping, and Portuguese heritage.”

Looking ahead, Tanpure concludes: “Through platforms like MALT, Sands Resorts Macao aims to connect Middle East travel planners with experiences that combine scale, sophistication, and seamless access, helping shape the future of global travel in a way that is innovative and tailored to the region’s most discerning travellers.”
