"We're thrilled to team up with Galaxy Macau as it offers a truly remarkable resort experience that people would love to share with friends," said Jiepang's founder and CEO, David Liu. "The check-in campaign provides good incentives for Jiepang users to join the Galaxy Privilege Club loyalty program, which offers great benefits for its guests. We look forward to working more closely with Galaxy Macau and providing everyone who uses the Jiepang app with even more great new features."

"Galaxy Macau understands and embraces the way social media brings people together and makes all of life's great experiences easy to share," said Raymond Yap, Senior Vice President - International Premium Market Development of Galaxy Entertainment Group. "That's why we're very excited to be partnering with the leading mobile social app of its kind in China. With Jiepang we can offer great deals and fun features to users and guests, giving people yet another great reason to make the 'New Palace of Asia' an important stop during their Macau holiday."

Macau is one of Asia's premier travel destinations and is often called the "Vegas of Asia". Nearly 25 million visitors came to Macau in 2010, more than half of whom arrived from mainland China.
