Crown's Offshore Network Is Hard to Find

Crown has been withdrawing from its Asian offices following staff detentions in China. The company has not provided any explanation for these closures, which have occurred over the past six months. This retreat raises questions about Crown's ability to attract high-roller gamblers to its resorts in Perth and Melbourne, as well as the future of its Sydney resort, which is set to open in 2021 without slot machines. The lack of marketing offices in key locations like Macau, the world's largest gambling hub, poses a challenge to Crown's business model.
