The video, produced by the Committee for Development of the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure, aims to promote a better understanding of the Macao SAR Five-Year Development Plan.
The Government recently launched a promotional video of Macao’s Five-Year Development Plan, in a bid to provide to the public a better understanding of the plan that covers a period from 2016 to 2020. The video about it is the first in a planned series of information videos produced by the Committee for Development of the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure. Included in the first video are interviews with local scholars explaining from an academic perspective the vision and direction of the city’s first master development plan. The guest interviewees also explain to viewers the concepts used to form the plan, including its basics, its middle stage, its major targets, its sub-targets and the benchmarks to be used to evaluate the plan’s progress. The Director of the Institute for the Study of Commercial Gaming, University of Macau, Professor Fong Ka Chio, and the Professor of the Macao Polytechnic Institute, Mr Chan Chi Fong, are the two academic guests interviewed for the first video. Prof. Fong said the plan provided a clear policy direction and a systematic and strategic plan for Macao for the next five years. Prof. Chan said the next five years was crucial to realise the “Centre” policies. That refers to the strategy of transforming Macao into a world centre of tourism and leisure. The targets and tasks listed in the plan could expedite all-round development, added Prof. Chan. The first video and more information about the Five-Year Development Plan – in Macao’s official languages Chinese and Portuguese – is now available at the following places: the website of the Committee for Development of the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure (www.cccmtl.gov.mo); The website of the Chief Executive’s Office (www.gce.gov.mo); The official Youtube site of the Government Information Bureau (https://www.youtube.com/user/macaogcs). Members of the public can also view the video via mobile device, using the app “GCE Macao”. Currently, the Government is conducting a three-month public consultation, which invites comments from residents on how to transform Macao into an international city, one of the major targets of the Five-Year Development Plan. The consultation period ends on 16 February.
