Personal Travel Managers Experience ‘Vegas of the East’

The island of Macau, or as it is more formally known, Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, is located around 60 kilometres west of Hong Kong. The two are connected by the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge – 55 kilometres of bridges and tunnels that combine to form the world’s longest sea-crossing. Crossing this engineering marvel, which opened early in 2018 and cost an estimated US$18.8 billion to construct, provided eight personal travel managers (PTMs) with an exciting and unique introduction to this tiny territory.

The PTMs were in Macau on a TravelManagers’ exclusive famil and spent five days exploring the sights in the so-called “Vegas of the East”, discovering in the process that it has a lot more to offer alongside the glittering casinos for which it is most famous.
