Pansy Ho Chiu King, vice chairman and secretary-general of the Global Tourism Economy Forum (GTEF), said yesterday that Macau shouldn’t pursue explosive tourism growth in numbers, but steady and healthy growth instead.
She made the remarks during a meeting with the press on the forum’s opening day at Grand Hyatt Macau in Cotai.
Ho, vice-chairperson and executive director of MGM China Holdings, made the remarks when she was asked by a reporter about the local government’s tourism policies for the coming years.
Ho noted that the city’s tourism development in the past 18 years was “very rapid”.
