Pansy Ho Chiu King, vice chairperson and secretary-general of the Global Tourism Economy Forum (GTEF), announced yesterday that the annual forum’s regional partner next year will be the European Union.
Ho, co-chairperson and executive director of MGM China Holdings, made the announcement during her speech at the closing ceremony of the two-day forum at Macau Tower.
As next year’s forum features the then still 28 European member states, GTEF will be on a larger scale than this year which featured 16 central and eastern European countries and Guizhou province. It will also coincide with the 2018 EU-China Tourism Year. Britain is slated to leave the EU in 2019.
