澳大學生赴拉城考察學習
澳門大學工商管理學院綜合度假村及旅遊管理學系與博彩研究所組織學生遠赴美國拉斯維加斯開展為期兩周的“拉城考察學習”之旅，藉以增強學生在博彩及綜合度假村、旅遊管理的理論與實戰能力，同時讓他們對澳門“旅遊+體育”的發展有更多的啟發。
是次交流由澳大工商管理學院綜合度假村及旅遊管理學系系主任苗莉、助理教授崔慈瑛及博彩研究所所長馮家超帶領35名學生到訪美國拉城。他們表示，拉城的綜合旅遊服務一向處於世界級領先水平，且早於2019年前已開始引入“旅遊＋體育”元素，近年更建立多個大型運動綜合體及引入不同類型的體育盛事。因此，澳大一如既往致力創造條件，安排綜合度假村及旅遊管理學系的學生到當地考察和學習。
期間，學生實地考察拉城多個大型體育綜合體，在相關項目負責人的詳細講解下深入了解這些綜合體的日常運作，包括營商模式、多功能場館設計及規模、各種新穎配套和設施、活動類型編排策略、保安監控及設施維護、人流管理及物流安排等。
此外，學生亦到訪永利拉斯維加斯及美高梅國際酒店集團旗下多個綜合度假村參觀交流，期間得到兩公司多名高級管理人員介紹度假村經營情況，並分享管理心得。學生還實地參觀了綜合度假村後台的多個工作環節，觀看多場表演，了解幕後的綵排、服裝和道具的安排，學習設施設備的配置和日常維護等。為了多角度了解以旅遊博彩業為主的城市環境，學生還參觀了當地市內設施、居民生活區及相關機構等，並認為交流活動加深他們對綜合度假村整體營運的認識，獲益良多。
是次交流獲澳門大學發展基金會、永利澳門及美高梅贊助支持。

UM students join study mission to Las Vegas
The Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management and the Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming (ISCG) of the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) at the University of Macau (UM) organised a two-week study mission to Las Vegas, US for students. The study mission aimed to enhance students’ theoretical and practical skills in gaming, integrated resort and tourism management, and enable them to gain inspiration for the development of ‘tourism + sports’ in Macao.
A total of 35 students joined the study mission, which was led by Miao Li, head of the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management; Choe Ja Young, assistant professor in the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management; and Fong Ka Chio, director of ISCG. Las Vegas is well known for its leading quality in integrated tourism services. Well before 2019, the city already introduced the elements of ‘tourism + sports’ into its entertainment portfolio. Several mega sports complexes have also been built in recent years to enhance the city’s capacity to host various sporting events. In view of this, UM organised the study mission to enable students from the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management to visit the relevant facilities.
During the trip, the students visited several mega sports complexes in Las Vegas to gain an in-depth understanding of their day-to-day operation in various aspects. They also visited the integrated resorts of Wynn Las Vegas and MGM Resorts International to learn about their business operations. They watched several performances there and familiarised themselves with the behind-the-scenes preparation as well as the set-up and daily maintenance of relevant facilities. In addition, the students visited the local facilities, residential areas and related organisations in order to gain more insights into the landscape of Las Vegas, a city driven by tourism and gaming.
The study mission was sponsored by the University of Macau Development Foundation, Wynn Macau, and MGM.
