The President of the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO), Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, has revealed that the department expects to launch the Macau Tourism Industry Development Master Plan next month.
The MGTO head said that the first draft of the plan had been completed in July.
MGTO is currently reviewing some of the plan’s details with consultancy firms.
Fernandes noted that the government had taken a relatively long time to process public opinions and suggestions on potential policies to be put into practice.
“We hope that when this master plan comes out, all of our policies [in the plan] might be feasible,” she said.
Fernandes denied that the plan was being launched too late, saying that MGTO had undertaken extensive research in collaboration with various parties over a long period of time, having collected more than 1,000 opinions from the public during a consultation period held last year.
