Association for Guia Circuit’s development seeks gov’t departments’ support for activities

The Macau Guia Circuit Promotion and Development Association (APDCGM) has been paying courtesy visits to the main government departments that are influential in the continuing efforts for the protection and promotion of the Guia Circuit.

The association, which aims, ultimately, for the inclusion of the circuit as a heritage site recognized and listed by UNESCO, has been visiting several departments recently, seeking opportunities for collaboration and support from the government entities for their activity plan.

The Times learned that the association will this year promote a series of activities also taking into account the celebration of the milestone of the 70th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix.

A cycling activity, as well as a motorcycle tour event, are currently among those initiatives under preparation, as is the seventh edition of the collective art exhibition titled “The Guia Circuit as UNESCO World Heritage Site,” which the Times also learned this year will take place during the Grand Prix event and, tentatively, in a larger venue than in previous years.

To discuss precisely many of these aspects and details, a delegation of the APDCGM led by the president José Luis Estorninho met late last week with the president of the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM), José Tavares.

This meeting also marked the first official visit of APDCGM’s newly elected bodies after elections in early March.

The new APDCGM officials, as well as the president of the board of directors, Estorninho, join with Ricardo Igreja, the president of the General Assembly, and Humberto Rodrigues as the president of the Fiscal Council, and will be in office for a period of three years, until February 2026.
