"With tourism at the front and center of Macao’s economy, our city has benefited immensely over the decades by engaging in PATA’s activities as well as hosting some of the association’s flagship events, helping to expand our international reach.

Another key component of PATA membership has been the wealth of international expertise network it provided over the years, which has enabled several task forces tailormade to Macao to be conducted in the past and allows our tourism stakeholders to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and tools to help navigate the ever-changing tourism industry.

It is also with great honor that the Macao Government Tourism Office has joined hands with PATA for nearly three decades to bring the limelight to the best practices in marketing, sustainability and social responsibility by supporting the Gold Awards, especially as Macao is striving for a more diverse and sustainable development as a world center of tourism and leisure."
