So Klose Accelerates Regional Membership Expansion With Opening of an Office in Macau

MACAU, March 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- So Klose, an award-winning Hong Kong-based dating agency, will set up an office in Macau in April to take advantage of the growing dating services sector in the region.  The Macau office will act as a representative office and an important addition to So Klose which will bring a new dating experience to this exciting city.

Macau is the central location in Asia and travelling to Macau is now easier than ever. Last year, there were more than 28 million visitors; about 85 percent of them came from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Macau emerges as a world center of tourism and leisure which offers tremendous overseas recruitment opportunities. This reflects a potential for So Klose to expand its business there.  It will certainly be challenging to develop the potential single elite market for Macau local executives and Hong Kong executives who are currently working in Macau.

"We are happy to extend our dating services into Macau.  The new representative office in Macau will add flavor to this exciting city and expand the sources of single members to a much higher level," says Carolyn Chan, Director of So Klose.com.
