Representatives from 58 travel agencies visited Macau to explore ways to revitalise the tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Tourism groups from Taiwan have visited Macau to explore how to incentivise tourism between the destinations. The meeting was part of a five-day tour<\/strong> that involved the Travel Industry Council of Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taiwanese delegates were shown offerings in Macau and Hengqin to learn what they can offer potential tourists. According to Macau Business, representatives of 58 Taiwanese travel agencies<\/strong> were among the delegates who met with representatives of hotels, travel agencies and integrated resorts in Macau to explore business opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Macau Government Tourism Office said the visit would facilitate a tourism revival and exchange between Macau, Hengqin, and Taiwan. In 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, over 39.4 million people visited Macau, of which 1.06 million were from Taiwan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, representatives from Hong Kong’s travel sector, travel agents, bloggers, online influencers, and marketers visited Macau for the same purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) <\/strong>has reported that nearly 1.40 million visitors arrived in Macau in January<\/a>. That\u2019s an increase of 101.3 per cent when compared to last year and 259 per cent on month-on-month terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
