Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said in the legislature’s hemicycle yesterday that the revised 830 million pataca budget – an increase of 176 percent from the initial budget – to revamp the Grand Prix Museum in Zape is due to the “most ideal” design of the project.
Senna Fernandes made the remarks when answering a question from directly-elected lawmaker-cum-unionist Ella Lei Cheng I, on the last day of a two-day Q&A session about the Social Affairs and Culture portfolio’s policy guidelines for next year.
The government said in 2016 that it was planning to turn the entire Tourism Activities Centre (CAT) in Zape into a completely revamped Grand Prix Museum, at a preliminary budget of around 300 million patacas.
