‘Experience Macau’ at Grand Central Terminal in New York City

Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) staged a large-scale roadshow themed ‘Experience Macau’ at Grand Central Terminal, a famous landmark in New York City. The Office is striving to attract more international visitors to Macau via promotional projects rolled out in visitor source markets.
This is the first grand roadshow presented by MGTO in New York City, in the United States. To reach out to a broader range of local residents and visitors for a wider promotional effect, the four-day event took place in Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal, the city’s humming major railroad station.
The roadshow showcases Macau as a travel destination brimming with blended cultures from East and West, and features a variety of highlights from delicacies to stage performances to demonstrations of Chinese silhouette paper-cutting to an art gallery and workshops to a photo booth for cultural experiences.
MGTO said that last year Macau welcomed over 180,000 visitors from the United States, which ranked as its tenth largest source market. From January to August, the total number of visitor arrivals posted a record 20 million, of whom some 1.76 million visitors came from international markets.
