MACAU -- A casino operator in Macau is hoping a re-creation of a Parisian streetscape will bring tourists back to the world's largest gambling market.
The Parisian Macao's Eiffel Tower is a shorter but fairly faithful reproduction of the one in Paris. The Chinese special administrative region has seen a decline in visitor traffic from the mainland in recent years. China's economic slowdown and President Xi Jinping's corruption crackdown have both contributed to the slump. Gambling revenue in Macau marked year-on-year declines for the 24 straight months through May.
