Travel agents sing Macao’s praises

Nine leading Australian travel agents along with two from New Zealand returned from Macao singing the praises of the former Portuguese enclave.

In response to the recent Macao familiarisation, Susan Atike, sales manager of Air Tickets, wrote about the “fabulous food and amazing wine”, while Kirsten Denham, of Helloworld, described Macao as “good fun with many interesting facets to it”.

The four-night agents familiarisation focused on 2018 Macao Year of Gastronomy and the Asian centre’s UNESCO World Heritage sites. The experience also coincided with the 6th Macao International Travel (Industry) Expo, held at the Venetian and locally referred to as MITE.

Organised by Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and co-ordinated by Macau Travel Agency Association, the exhibition attracted 40,120 visitors and 305 industry buyers, culminating in almost 40 signed agreements. The expo highlighted the strengths of Macao as a Sino-Portuguese platform and a major hub along the Maritime Silk Road, as well as its role in facilitating co-operation across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area.
