MACAUCONCEPT
About Us
Founded in the fourth quarter of last year, MacauConcept is an ambitious, up and coming provider of travel/media services. Our short term objectives are to simply furnish the most complete, highest quality internet content and tertiary services to visitors of the Greater Macao SAR, while expanding into new locations as opportunities warrant. Finally, we will pursue our objectives on a global scale. At present, we are engaged in negotiations with a number of major online booking and fulfillment providers. Therefore, while we have already went live with several of our websites, as noted below, our services will necessarily remain limited until such time as a provider agreement is executed and appropriate technologies are fully implemented.
MacauConcept, through its subsidiary, 
, manages
the largest, most commercially relevant Macao SAR domain portfolio in
the world. The collection is comprised of 1500+ Macau-centric, direct
navigation, domain sites. These sites account for a dominant share of
the available keyword domains in the Macau market, are primarily
dotcoms, and encompass virtually all service, gaming and non-gaming
interests. Finally, they cover all geographic areas of greater Macao
including Macau/Macao, Cotai, Taipa, Coloane, Hengqin and Zhuhai.
Current Projects ( China )
Cotai.Travel is a live site. Cotai.Travel, like the region it represents, remains very much a work in progress. As more construction cranes give way to completed hotels, resorts, casinos, restaurants, night clubs, shopping and entertainment/sporting venues, Cotai.Travel will grow in kind. Moreover, Cotai.Travel will eventually restrict its geographic coverage area to reflect its namesake. In doing so, Cotai.Travel will provide clients with superior access to Cotai information and reservation databases.
MACAO.info, is also a live site. MACAO.info, like Cotai.Travel, will necessarily address all of the travel/destination sectors discussed above, except on a much larger scale.
Zhuhai.Travel is live, pending further development. While Zhuhai has long been a distinct engine of economic growth and tourism, Macao SAR growth, which is naturally constrained by geography, has set upon a path of expansion into lesser developed areas that can still be found in more remote areas of Zhuhai. This has been most evident in Zhuhai's strengthening hospitality and property markets MacauConcept also owns Hengqin.Travel. This domain is currently forwarded to Zhuhai.Travel. Hengqin, an undeveloped island located within Zhuhai's municipal limits, is the subject of an application/master-plan seeking approval of the construction of a large scale non-gaming leisure resort and convention facility development, in addition to other Cotai/Macao complementary services. Based on the foregoing, Hengqin.Travel will be designed/developed if and when circumstances warrant.
Amid the lick of Macau's continuing neon ascension into the night sky, and the collective heartbeat of a Republic streaming toward completion of preparations for the Summer Games in Beijing, SE China's Guangdong province continues its path of economic expansion and prosperity. Although China tends to showchase Shanghai as the Mainland's financial capital, that honor has long been shared with the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. Further, Guangdong's provincial capital, Guangzhou, is another of China's premier cities, as reflected in its successful application to host the upcoming 2010 Asian Games. What Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other regions of Guangdong share in common are rapid development in their hospitality sectors and an expanding middle class. The effects are two-fold; a growing tourism market at home, with more Chinese seeking like opportunities in other parts of the Republic, Asia and beyond. Finally, significant progress has been made of late with regard to financing of the planned bridge that is to link Hong Kong with Macau and Zhuhai. Once completed, the average present two hour trip from Hong Kong to Macau will be reduced to as little as one half an hour. As Zhuhai sits in Macau's backyard, with Shenzhen situated likewise with regard to Hong Kong, the impact of the bridge on Guangdong's tourist economy will be nothing short of monumental. For all the above reasons and many more, MacauConcept has taken Shenzhen.Travel and Guangdong.Travel live, further development pending.
Future Expansion ( China and Beyond )
HOTEL.pro is a live site, suggesting our first dip in the waters of international travel commerce. In truth, that moment awaits a resolution of technology issues, as noted above. Of greater significance, ironically, are our holdings of a select number of domains that we have yet to take live or otherwise have temporarily resolved to live sites. These include HOTELS.pro, FLIGHT.pro, FARE.pro, AIRFARE.pro, TICKET(S).pro and TRAVEL.pro. There are actually several more like Viaje(s).pro and Reisen.pro, but the foregoing is at least representative of our travel assets.
Marketing Strategy
MacauConcept, will largely employ a unique, and powerful, feeder-centric strategy to market sites like Cotai.Travel, MACAO.info and Zhuhai.Travel. In other words, we intend to harness the strength of our Macao SAR domain portfolio to feed traffic to the former. Without the benefit of direct advertising or search engine optimization, our domain portfolio already draws some fifteen thousand visitors per month, with dynamic growth rates mirroring local economic trends. Furthermore, born of the realization of anticipated local growth trends, in conjunction with otherwise fixed costs associated with maintaining a network of feeder sites on a year to year basis, is the actualization of a unique paradigm, to wit, a reduction of marginal marketing costs with each additional visitor fed to the portal site. Therein, lies the heart of our feeder-centric strategy.
To fully appreciate the benefits of this strategy, one need only contrast the lesser position of a typical standalone website. In order to establish, maintain and/or enhance market share, it would be largely resigned to engaging traditional methods of bidding for ad placement and/or paid clicks at the mercy of a rising ad market. This is not to suggest that a feeder-centric portal site, depending on its objectives, would never have cause to complement its efforts likewise as part of a comprehensive marketing strategy. However, the inclusion of our unique strategy implies, on average, lower overall marketing costs. Thus, competitive advantage is maintained.
