Being a study of contrasts — from its multicultural heritage to its culinary identity, Macao is a unique destination that truly never sleeps. We are thrilled to support the Macao government’s efforts to promote the city’s gastronomy, sporting events, culture, heritage and the creative arts as it continues to diversify and bloom. We are confident that Macao will grow to become an even more cherished and popular destination for travelers from Cyprus, the broader European and GCC market, as an exciting and remarkable city for visitors to immerse themselves in electrifying excitement.”

As a member of the European Union, Cyprus serves as a gateway to one of the largest and most diverse economic zones in the world.”

Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office, said: “Macao and Cyprus have much in common and great room for cooperation in tourism and beyond. Helped by Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s City of Dreams Mediterranean and its Macao Sales Office in Cyprus, I believe that we can spark a long-lasting friendship and cooperation between our two destinations. We look forward to joining hands with Macao’s integrated resort enterprises to create more cooperation and jointly expand the international visitor source markets.”

We will continue to leverage Macao’s unique advantages by collaborating with cross-sector stakeholders to attract more professional and international events, and make the ‘Golden Calling Card’ of Macao as an international metropolis shine brighter.”
