MGM lands two wins at Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2025

Its digital projects, The Experience Pool at Tria Spa and Bee Odyssey Show, have provided an unparalleled immersive experience for its guests.

As Macau’s leading integrated resort operator, MGM has earned two major accolades at the coveted Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2025 for its innovative digital projects: The Experience Pool at Tria Spa, which creates a unique and immersive spa experience, and the Bee Odyssey Show, which elevates the company’s brand presence in the cultural tourism sector.

The Experience Pool at Tria Spa
The Experience Pool at Tria Spa, which brought the company the win in the Smart Technology - Hospitality & Leisure category, merges reality and fantasy by immersing guests in a multi-dimensional sensory journey, offering pure relaxation and a moment of serenity in their busy lives. It features LED screens on two sides, presenting stunning visual feasts that are synchronised with the rhythm of the music. Above the pool, an innovative simulated rain system, enhanced by dynamic lighting, creates a distinctive atmosphere. Every element is meticulously coordinated by a central programming system. By integrating advanced technology and creative design, the Experience Pool aims to elevate the standard of spa experiences and set a new benchmark in the hospitality industry.

Since its inception, the Experience Pool has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from guests. The immersive experience has been praised for transporting guests into a tranquil escape from daily stress. Tangible outcomes include increased spa bookings, high customer satisfaction and engagement, and positive reviews and testimonials from guests.

Bee Odyssey Show at MGM COTAI
Meanwhile, the Bee Odyssey Show, which earned MGM the Digital - Hospitality & Leisure category, transforms The Spectacle at MGM COTAI into a mesmerising floral wonderland. The immersive experience features adorable dirigible bees fluttering and dancing through vibrant flower clusters under the world's largest indoor LED screens.

The show leverages the Guinness World Records title-holding venue with the largest free-span gridshell glazed roof, featuring over 130 speakers and more than 700 LED lights. The vivid 3D animations and digital art on the LED screens create a dreamlike, colourful garden where guests can dance alongside the bees. Guests can also interact with augmented bees and flowers through TikTok and DouYin augmented reality (AR) filters, enhancing their experience and engagement.

It primarily aims to increase brand awareness, engage the audience, and provide an immersive experience. The interactive elements, such as the AR filter and dirigible bees, are designed to captivate and engage visitors, encouraging them to share their experiences on social media.

Bee Odyssey Show has achieved significant success and impact in several areas since its debut. The interactive AR filter on TikTok and DouYin has seen high levels of engagement. At the same time, the integration of advanced technologies, such as 3D animations, digital art, and dirigible devices, has set a new standard for immersive cultural tourism experiences.
