Chinese gamers will have more fun in the Philippines with relaxed visa rules.

This is the belief of Melco Crown Philippines Resorts Corp. (MCP) Chief Operating Officer Geoffry Andres as the executive calls on the Philippine government to ease the visa norms for Chinese tourists.

Andres lamented how the “cumbersome” visa rules have prevented mainland Chinese high rollers from coming to the island nation amid the ongoing corruption crackdown launched by the Chinese government.

He told local reporters at the sidelines of MCP’s shareholders meeting in Manila last Monday that the Philippines barely tapped the mainland Chinese market despite the continued exodus of Chinese gamers from Macau, the world’s biggest gaming hub.
