Over the past weekend, the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has brought the “Experience Macau without limits” Greater Bay Area (GBA) Roadshow to the Central Plaza of China Central Place in Huizhou.
This was the fifth stop of the caravan roadshow that aims to promote Macau’s “Tourism +” elements and attract residents from the cities that compose the GBA to Macau as a form of local tourism economy recovery, which has beet affected by three years of border closures.

Those who did so were entitled to participate in the lucky draw to win a one-day free Macau wedding photography package.
