The annual drone show is not planned for this year, Cheng Wai Tong, acting director of Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), has announced.
He explained that the main reasons for halting the show this year are the weather and the neighborhood. Usually, the show is staged during the city’s tropical cyclone season, which creates anxiety and concern. To compensate, the MGTO plans to expand the scale and length of the light show this year.
Meanwhile, Cheng did not pass up the chance to emphasize the bureau’s efforts in attracting foreign visitors but admitted to having received complaints from tourists related to transport in Macau. These complaints have been referred to the Transport Bureau and he believes the bureau is across the situation.
He also highlighted that in the coming months, the city will see a calendar filled with events, such as the on-going Art Macao, the fireworks show in September, the Oct. 1 Golden Week, the Grand Prix in November as well as the light show in December.
In addition, he stressed that the bureau would rely on the market when deciding whether individual tourists or tour groups shall prevail. AL
