The Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has taken its “Experience Macao, Unlimited” caravan roadshow to Dongguan, aiming to attract residents from cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA) to visit Macau, expand the city’s source of tourists and boost the recovery of the local tourism industry, according to an MGTO statement on Saturday.
The roadshow in Dongguan was held on Saturday and yesterday in Wanda Plaza in Dongcheng district of Dongguan city, with its first post-pandemic stop in Guangzhou on February 18-19, its second stop in Jiangmen on February 25-26, its third stop in Huizhou on March 11-12, its fourth stop in Shenzhen on March 18-19, and the two final stops to be in Foshan and Zhaoqing in the near future, the statement noted.
Dongguan lies some 94 kilometres northeast of Macau. The city has about 7.5 million inhabitants.
During the roadshow in Dongguan, the statement said, a caravan was set up in Wanda Plaza, with an on-site interactive area featuring a photography-spot-themed background, graffiti wall, interactive exhibition hall, game booths, parent-child workshops and a light-mapping performance, featuring venues that promoted Macau’s festivals, food, sports, wedding photography, and leisure travel.
The roadshow, which was held in Zhuhai and Zhongshan last year, had been suspended due to the local COVID-19 outbreak last June.
The GBA comprises the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and nine cities in Guangdong – Dongguan, Foshan, Guangzhou, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Shenzhen, Zhaoqing, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai.
