As this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, MGM brings its diversified “tourism+” offerings to proactively participate in the Experience Macao roadshow in Malaysia, expanding the international source markets and facilitating the cultural exchange between these two places. The roadshow is organized by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) from Jul 5 – 8 at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall in Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, MGM has also joined the “Macao Tourism + MICE Product Updates Seminar & Travel Mart” held by MGTO, to strengthen Macau’s appeal to the Malaysian tourism sector.
MGM’s booth features a capsule lucky draw machine designed with its Golden Lion emblem. The presence of MGM’s mascot Leo delighted the audience and encouraged them to participate in the lucky draw with prizes including accommodation discounts and exclusive souvenirs. Additionally, the accommodation offer comes with both Macau LRT passes and MGM “Macau Cruise” tickets to promote the “Barra CityWalk” route which synergizes “culture + tourism + transportation”, driving more visitors to explore the city’s profound cultural diversity. MGM is also offering a two-day and one-night accommodation package with dining credit on designated booking websites during this roadshow.
Malaysia is a promising international tourist market with diverse culture, sharing language and food culture in common with Macau. MGM seizes this roadshow opportunity to present its fascinating array of cultural and entertainment happenings, including its upcoming residency show MGM 2049 in collaboration with world-renowned Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the “‘Into the World of Wuxia Legends’ Jin Yong Wuxia Drama Costumes and Weapons Exhibition”, the “MGM X Ren Zhe – 'Legends of Chivalry' Art Exhibition, along with the Company’s Forbes and Michelin-starred dining offerings. Since many Malaysians are Muslims, MGM also provides Halal food through banquets and in-room dining services, which endeavors to make Macau Halal-friendly for guests in need.
Beyond launching its first large-scale overseas promotional campaign in Bangkok, Thailand, MGM has joined MGTO’s mega roadshows in Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand in the first half of this year, aspiring to expand the international source market and showcase Macau’s unique charm as a “World Center of Tourism and Leisure”.
