Tourists from overseas travelling to Macau via Hong Kong will also be eligible for a free single-leg journey by bus or ferry from participating carriers, said on Monday Macau’s tourism boss. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes also announced the extension until the end of June, of a ‘buy one, get one’ scheme that had initially been promoted as being for Hong Kong residents.
The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) director was speaking on the sidelines of a public event at the Macao Grand Prix Museum, in downtown Macau.
The initial travel ticket scheme had been due to run until March 31 inclusive, prior to the MGTO director confirming on Monday its extension. Conditions on the initial deal had been that visitors must stay at least one night in Macau, in order to qualify for the free single-leg ticket.
