The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism have signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the field of tourism and promote the development of the industry between the two regions.

The Agreement for Strategic Cooperation in the Area of ​​Tourism was signed by the director of MGTO, Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, and the inspector of the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism of Shandong, Wang Chunsheng.

The agreement was signed just before the 10th edition of the Macau International Tourism (Industry) Expo, which will take place from 23-25 September.
