Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) is promoting the city at the ITB Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade show that opened today with close to 11,000 exhibitors from some 180 countries and territories. MGTO has chosen business tourism as the main focus for the Macau promotion at the 41st edition of ITB, as the Macau SAR government is actively driving developments in the conventions and exhibitions area, following the opening of new hotels and other tourism infrastructures, equipped with stat-of-the-art meeting and exhibition areas. In addition to the delegation headed by MGTO deputy director, Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, the Macau booth also hosts representatives from The Venetian, Mandarin Oriental, Galaxy, Macau Tower and TurboJET, who are there to promote their products and make business contacts. The decoration of the Macau booth at the 41st ITB is a replica of the façade of the building of the Macau Business Tourism Center. On Friday it will stage a Macau Cocktail for tourism professionals and media. This year, the Macau booth offers to the visitors an opportunity to have their profile cut in paper or their name written in Chinese characters through the hands of two Macau artists, Wong Cheong Tao and Wong Chung Hung, father and son, invited by MGTO to participate in ITB. Throughout the five days of the exhibition, which closes on Sunday, official representatives from travel destinations, hotels, tour operators, travel books publishers, cruise organizers, on-line suppliers, among many others, participate in the world’s major annual concentration of tourist products and services. In parallel, another major annual happening takes place, the ITB Convention Market Trends & Innovations, among many other events. Last year, ITB achieved a new record, welcoming more than 162 thousand visitors, a 14.5 increase, and 10,856 exhibitors, 4.3 percent more, compared to the previous edition.
