Ms. Fernandes emphasised that the MGTO has undertaken extensive promotions for this year’s Macau Grand Prix, which include forging collaborations with airlines to further enhance its reach. She said that advertisements have been placed on Cathay Pacific flights traveling to and from Hong Kong, showcasing the iconic motor-racing event and the allure of Macau, with the goal of attracting travellers from Hong Kong to visit Macau. Macau tourism and sports departments held a roadshow in Hong Kong earlier this month, promoting the city’s “Sport + Tourism” events, with a focus on the Grand Prix. The MGTO director was talking to the media on the sidelines of the traditional Grand Prix Pai San ceremony. The 2023 Macau Grand Prix will be held on November 11 and 12 and between November 16 and 19, in a special edition spanning two weekends in celebration of the 70th edition of the flagship event.
