Chief executive candidate Ho Iat Seng said yesterday that the current government’s practice of organising big events during the city’s peak tourist seasons has put further pressure on the city’s tourism carrying capacity.
Ho attended a Q&A session with members representing the industrial, commercial and financial sector – known as the first sector – on the Chief Executive Election Committee. The 400-member committee has 120 members from the first sector. Yesterday’s session at the headquarters of the Macau Chamber of Commerce (ACM) in Zape was attended by 51 electors from the sector.
A total of eight participants asked Ho questions during the Q&A session on issues such as economic diversification, tourism carrying capacity, the gaming industry, urban renewal, the hiring of non-local professionals, and Macau’s role as a platform between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs).
