Macau authorities have launched a campaign to encourage mainlanders to stay longer in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- The city has launched an initiative to attract residents from Guangdong province to visit Macau and stay longer in order to boost the economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have announced a series of promotions starting from September 1 in cooperation with e-commerce providers Tencent and Alibaba, as well as local airline Air Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to encourage spending while visiting the city, the campaign aims to provide visitors with promotional offers covering categories including flight tickets, accommodation, and spending at local shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mainland visitors will have to reserve e-vouchers via the Macau Government Tourism Office\u2019s WeChat social media account and the Fliggy travel service’s online platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The measure is part of Macau’s MOP10 billion economic recovery plan. The plan also includes a consumption e-card subsidy scheme for Macao ID holders, subsidies for domestic tourism trips, and a subsidy programme for local employees, self-employed professionals and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the resumption of the visas for Guangdong province this week and the rest of China from September 23, local authorities advised residents to closely observe the city\u2019s disease-control measures. Special advice has been provided to the gaming sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
