Macau will provide free tours to help resurrect tourism
Macau aims to resurrect the tourism industry by offering free city tours for visitors.
Once travel restrictions are eased the Macau Government Tourism Office plans to provide free half-day tours for overnight visitors.
Following a Tourism Development Committee meeting with government officials, the free tours were approved along with other measures to boost inbound tourism.
The MGTO is working with hotels, travel agencies, airlines and ferry operators to devise a tourism recovery strategy.
Free half-day tours will be rolled out along with ‘providing preferential measures for transportation networks such as airline, ferry and border-crossing bus services,’ according to Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Elsie Ao Ieong U.
MGTO officials are currently in talks with local and Hengqin tour providers ‘to help stimulate the economy.’
Moving forward Macau aims to ease its reliance on casino tax revenues by focusing marketing spend on cultural tours and activities and ‘mega sports events.’
