The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is planning to resume its promotional campaigns for Macau as a tourism destination, known as “Macao weeks,” in several mainland cities and provinces, the MGTO director said yesterday in reply to a media question on the sidelines of the press conference of the Light Up Macao Drone Gala 2022.
“We hope that in the second half (H2) of this year we can resume our promotion with the Macao Weeks in different provinces. We have been forced to push the promotion events back a little due to the Covid-19 situation in several provinces on the mainland but we hope to get back on track soon,” Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said.
Also questioned on the cooperation between Macau and the mainland in regards to some of the events being hosted in Macau, she added that Macau has been in constant communication with mainland companies.
The Drone Gala is a case in point, since the drone team running all the performances comes from the neighboring city of Shenzhen. Senna Fernandes added that more cooperation is expected for the ‘Macao Light Festival’ at the end of the year.
“For the Light Festival, we are planning to partner with some Hengqin companies. We believe there is more room for cooperation with mainland companies,” she concluded.
