Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) has joined the Guangzhou International Travel Fair 2015 (GITF 2015) to further expand tourism markets and enhance connections with the Mainland and international travel industry partners. Starting from March 6, GITF 2015 is hosted by the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou for three consecutive days. MGTO is participating in the exhibition together with 38 industry delegates representing a total of 20 enterprises including hotels, travel agencies and MICE facility companies from Macau. MGTO’s 180-square metre booth – themed ‘Touching Moments, Experience Macau’ – promotes the rich and diverse tourism elements of Macau by showcasing the Historic Centre of Macau, events and festivals, the newest tourism facilities and products, etc. Personnel are stationed at the booth to provide travel information and distribute promotional leaflets to visitors. Macau trade delegates also discuss business opportunities with their Mainland counterparts. GITF is recognised as one of the most influential international travel fairs across Southern China and the Asia Pacific Region. Last year, the event attracted a great number of exhibitors including 753 tourism service providers from 42 countries and regions. GITF 2014 hosted over 100,000 overseas and domestic buyers and visitors in total. Through the exhibition, MGTO hopes to introduce Mainland citizens and industry partners from various places to the latest tourism development and diverse tourism products in Macau. Taking the opportunity to promote the positioning of Macau as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure, the Office seeks to attract more visitors from different markets to experience the unique blend of East-meets-West culture as well as local customs.
