Macau Forum guest speakers and audience members raised concerns yesterday about the city’ tourism carrying-capacity if the number of visitor arrivals in 2025 reaches 40 million as forecast by the draft of the “Macau Tourism Development Master Plan”.
The forum is a weekly public debate programme run by government-owned broadcaster TDM. About a dozen audience members attended yesterday’s forum about the draft master plan released by the Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) last week.
The office began last week to collect public opinion for the draft, which, according to the office, focuses on laying the foundations and setting the direction for the development of Macau’s tourism industry in the next 15 years. The public consultation will end on July 22.
