MACAU, June 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- GoMacau.com, Macau's leading
destination marketing and online travel company has acquired 100% of
Macau.com, Macau's No.1 Internet site.
Macau.com will serve as Macau's premier portal, where users will have

groups, and businesses, as well as on Macau's growing exhibition and
convention segment. Macau.com will be the gateway from which customers

in-house booking engine in the coming weeks, the company is now in a
position to aggressively market both the Macau.com and GoMacau.com brands to a world increasingly interested in Macau.

About Macau.com
Macau.com is the premier web portal for Macau, and will serve as the
first stop for specialized information and e-commerce for a variety of
products ranging from travel, gaming, real estate, entertainment,
exhibitions and conventions.
From Frank Schillings Blog:
Recall it was sold for $550k last year. I follow Macau pretty closely, and i can tell you that the group that bought it last year added little value in my opinion. As far as i can tell, they basically threw up some content that mostly came from the Macau tourism site, and added a third party hotel engine. GoMacau.com seemed like it had more orginial content and was a much better site, but of course didnt have the killer generic or the google ranking. Now they do. Would love to see how much they paid."
Me too Joe! This looks like the classic flipper-upper.
I remember back in 2000 when LasVegas.com sold for 1 million in cash before the bubble popped.. Then in 2006 it resold for 5million.. then Vegas.com got recapitalized or sold for some 8 figure sum. Names like these are absolutely priceless.
Macau.com is probably the biggest opportunity any well capitalized domainer has missed in the last 5 years. That name is going to be worth 10-15 million soon if it isn't already. More in future. It's the hotel reservations. Lead prices are astronomical.
