The Macau Government Tourist Office has expanded
its presence at this year’s AIME trade show in Melbourne, as it
intensifies its drive to secure Australian meetings, conventions
and incentive business generated by the nation’s recovering
economy.
The tourist office has purchased 120 square
metres of exhibition space at AIME – a 33% increase over the 90
square metres last year – to accommodate a record 12 Macau trade
participating in this year’s event.
“The Australian economy is recovering, and the
MICE market in particular is showing very encouraging signs of
regrowth in 2010,” said Helen Wong, General Manager Australia for
the Macau Government Tourist Office. “Our message to Australian
meeting planners is simple and to the point: Macau welcomes you,
and we have everything you will need for a most unforgettable
Macau event ... Choose from our range of modern
international brand hotels and integrated convention facilities
and a vast range of pre and post touring options, which showcase
not only the rich trading and religious history of Macau but also
its modern attractions including some of the finest resorts, spas
and entertainment facilities in the world.”
Macau is easily
accessible from Hong Kong international airport, where the high
speed Sea Express departs frequently from the Sky Pier for the 45
minute journey to Macau – a faster journey than the rail trip from
the airport to downtown Hong Kong.
Three major airlines –
Qantas, Cathay Pacific and Virgin Atlantic all operate daily
services from Australia to Hong Kong while Viva Macau is
increasing its nonstop flights from Melbourne.
AIME 2010 will take place in Melbourne 2- 3
March 2010. The Macau stand
at AIME is no. 2807.
