Just 1,000 residents were lucky enough to be randomly picked on Monday from 31,333 who applied to go on the coveted “Helicopter Ride Experience”, one of the top attractions in the government-subsidised local tours.
Although the refurbishment work has been officially inspected for the Grand Prix Museum reopening, the installation of the vehicles, equipment, interactive games and exhibits could still not take place due to entry restrictions because of COVID-19.
The preliminary 2021 budget proposed by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) will see the tourism board’s funding slashed by more than one-third.
The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has penalised a local travel agency participating in the “Macao Ready Go! Local Tours” for jeopardising its system’s functionality and apparently leading to last week’s crash.
The processing of applications resumed for the coveted “Helicopter Ride Experience” local tour on Thursday afternoon, according to a statement by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), which pointed out that applications can still be submitted to travel agencies until 6 pm on Sunday.
Lau Fong Chi from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) confirmed during Wednesday’s press conference that no residents had been able to sign up for the helicopter itinerary of its Macao tour scheme due to system overload.
The Macao Government Tourism Office will add 10 new itineraries from tomorrow to its ongoing subsidised programme for residents joining tour groups organised by travel agencies to tour the city, with one of them featuring helicopter rides.
Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said at the weekend that her office planned to introduce 10 more itineraries to the city’s local tours.
