New association seeks Guia Circuit listing

The recently created Macau Guia Circuit Promotion and Development Association (MGCPDA) is planning to create a website with the purpose of “getting the association closer to the general public and society in general,” the group’s chairman José Luís da Rosa Estorninho told the Times.
The head of the association told the Times that the website will have more than an institutional and informational purpose, with it being a window for direct contact with people that share the same interests.
“We want people that share the same passion as we do to interact with us, share their ideas, opinions, concerns and comments,” he added.
The association’s stated purposes are contributing to the promotion and development of the “Guia Circuit”; utilizing cooperation with private and public entities and developing advertising and promotional activities to meet those goals. According to Estorninho, “to be able to propose the classification of the ‘Guia Circuit’ to UNESCO’s world heritage list is a dream and one of the goals of the association.”
As an association that “runs on wheels” the MGCPDA wants to move forward with its goals and “move fast,” promised the chairman. To achieve that goal, the association has already established a team of “good people” in order to “endeavor to succeed” with well-known names from different local sectors that included an invitation to the Portuguese Consul General in Macau, Vítor Sereno, to be its honorary president.
