MACAU The Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) has launched the second phase of its Strategic MICE Market Stimulation Program.
The scheme provides financial subsidies and other support for qualifying business events confirmed before end-2010. There is no date limit on when the event must take place.
Meetings and conventions, incentives and exhibitions are offered tailored support such as accommodation rebates, speaker sponsorship and F&B allowances. Potential events may be eligible for fully sponsored site inspections and bid assistance.
Since its introduction last May, the scheme has supported 67 meetings and conventions, 36 exhibitions and 62 incentive programmes with a total of US$6.4 million in funding. MGTO has also received 13 applications for events to be held between 2011 and 2014.
