This year, in support of the Macau International Dragon Boat Races for the 18th consecutive year, GEG will send six dragon boat teams formed by GEG team members from different properties to compete.

To help team members enrich their after-work lives through sports, GEG has been allocating resources to provide trainings and support to its various sports teams. This year, GEG designed a new team uniform for its Dragon Boat Team and invited a veteran coach to lead GEG team members in systematic training and to provide professional guidance, in hopes of advancing their skills and confidence, as well as encouraging them to go from strength to strength and achieve self-enhancement. Mr. Tyson Hoi, Captain of the GEG Dragon Boat Team, said, “We are very grateful for the company’s tremendous support to the Team. Turning our hard work into strength and motivation, we will definitely aim for the best through dedicated trainings and a fighting team spirit.”
