Various Overseas Conventions Return to Macao Macao’s Software and Hardware for Conventions Extolled by International Conventions Organisers
The Macao SAR government, in compliance with its policy objectives, will continue to support the development of the convention and exhibition industry (C&E industry), which has seen rapid growth, and will use innovating methods to cultivate this industry. Guided by the policy of “priority to conventions”, the government will strive to encourage more professional and international brand conventions and exhibitions to be held in Macao to accelerate the growth of the C&E industry. It will also motivate organisers of conventions and exhibitions to take guided tours of the neighbourhoods, inspiring high-end visiting merchants participating in the events to purchase goods locally, and then the comprehensive development of the connected industries and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) will be triggered. Since the beginning of 2017, there have been a number of overseas international conventions held in the city. This is attributed to not only the strengths of Macao’s complete set of software and hardware that support conventions and exhibitions but also Macao’s unique attractions. Such factors could motivate them to hold conventions again here.
