HK, Macao to benefit from Bay Area integration

Sharing her own story of working in the Greater Bay Area, Pansy Ho, group executive chairman and managing director of Shun Tak Holdings, said she has been working to enhance connectivity in the southern region since she started her business over 20 years ago.

Ho highlighted the importance of cities in the region to cooperate in order to achieve mutual growth.

"We knew from early on that we needed to work together. We have never been given a clear path and passage, but ultimately we need to work on our initiatives. And collaboration and cooperation is the way to do it," she said.

Ho also said Macao needs to diversify its economy and find ways to achieve sustainable development.

Macao is not just "a large property being built up", she said. "Within the properties, we can offer extra abilities to capture opportunities with our neighboring cities."
