✦ Synopsis
Despite global recession, Macao continues
to develop as an international gaming destination. However, as the intensity of development increases, the government is losing support for the gaming industry among some residents. This loss of support may be examined within the context of growth machine theory. This paper surveys residents regarding their attitudes towards gaming and development. The fi ndings suggest residents can be divided into two groups -gaming supporters and gaming opponents. From these fi ndings, recommendations are made for future planning, development and marketing in Macao.
