Participate in “Macao Hunt” prize-redemption game on WeChat to look out for golden monkeys
Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is ready to roll out a prize-redemption game named “Macao Hunt” on WeChat in Macao from 1 – 28 February, guiding local residents and visitors to look out for the golden monkeys along four designated walking tour routes under the theme “Step Out, Experience Macao’s Communities”, for a chance to win electronic coupons from merchants and enter a lucky draw. The fun game is designed to enhance the charm of community tourism and encourage visitors to explore different communities and patronize local businesses, as part of the Office’s continuous efforts to promote community tourism development. Both residents and visitors can participate in the game (in Chinese only) through MGTO’s WeChat ID (“MGTOweixin”), and become eligible for entering the lucky draw for a chance to win pure gold monkey statues, iPhone6s and electronic coupons from catering merchants of "Quality Tourism Services Accreditation Scheme" (QTSAS); participants can search for golden monkeys along designated walking tour routes themed as “Step Out, Experience Macao’s Communities”. Once golden monkeys are spotted with the check-in step performed, participants can instantly receive more electronic coupons from QTSAS-awarded merchants who operate catering business in the community. The more golden monkeys are spotted, the more chances for participants to win the gold monkey statues and iPhone6s; participants can also increase their chances of winning the lucky-draw prizes by completing a survey or by sharing the game link with friends on WeChat and getting friends’ “click” on the link. For more information about how to play the game, please visit: http://zh.macaotourism.gov.mo/main/page.php?id=58 The four designated walking tour routes include “Footsteps into the Historic Centre”, “The Marriage of East and West in St. Anthony’s Parish”, “A Legacy of Arts and Culture” and “Bygone Days of Taipa Village”. If the activity receives positive feedback overall, MGTO will consider launching other themed games which cover various “Step Out, Experience Macao’s Communities” walking tour routes during other festivals. To add more fun to the "Parade for Celebration of the Year of the Monkey" on the 3rd night of Lunar New Year (10 February), MGTO will set up additional locations of golden monkeys near each spectator seating area on the day besides those along the four designated walking tour routes.
