With an area of only 23.5 square kilometers and a population of 4.55 million, Macao has created an economic miracle with its unique mode of development during the 1970s and the 1990s. In 1992, the per capita GDP of Macao reached over 12,800 U.S. dollars and reached 18,000 U.S. dollars in 1997, ranking the top in Asia. The most prominent feature of Macao’s economic development can be summed up as a thriving tourism and gaming industry and a laissez-faire economic system. Macau is known as the “Oriental Monte Carlo”, and Monaco Monte Carlo, the United States Las Vegas tied for the world’s three major casinos.

Hong Kong banned gambling in 1872 and a large number of gamblers in Hong Kong moved to Macau to promote the development of gambling in Macao.
