Admitting that several Indian tourists’ recent complaints about alleged discrimination by local immigration officers have affected Macau’s image to a certain extent, Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes pledged yesterday that her office will strengthen communication with Indian tourists in the future.
Senna Fernandes made the remarks on the sidelines of a prize-giving ceremony organised by the Scout Association of Macau at the Macau Federation of Trade Unions’ Workers Stadium near the Barrier Gate checkpoint.
A number of Indian tourists are understood to have recently complained about alleged discrimination by local immigration officers, such as being requested to show their return tickets and to prove that they have enough cash for their intended stay here.
