Trade and tourism are priorities for partnerships between Macao and provinces in central China, the Chief Executive, Mr Edmund Ho Hau Wah, said today at the opening of the Expo Central China 2007. He said that Macao's tourism sector had grown significantly in recent years. As more and more global enterprises invest in Macao, which prompted healthy competition and boosted investment, the image of Macao has been greatly promoted and strengthened. Mr Ho pointed out that the authorities and communities of Macao and provinces in central China had increased exchanges, and that Macao could co-operate with these provinces in planning tour routes and international tourism promotions. On the subject of trade, he said Macao's conference and exhibition business would welcome a major boost in the second half of this year, which would further facilitate Macao’s function as a business hub and platform. The exposition was also attended by the Vice Premier of the State Council, Ms Wu Yi; Minister of Commerce, Mr Bo Xilai, and the Chief Executive of Hong Kong SAR, Mr Donald Tsang. Mr Ho also visited the pavilion set up by the Macao Government and Macao's businesspeople, and attended a business forum, as well as a reception hosted by the Ms Wu.
