Macau, 2013-12-27 — /travelprnews.com/ — Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) launches an iPhone App named “Step Out, Macau” today (27 December) so that citizens and visitors can enjoy easy access to information about the four walking tour routes of the project “Step Out, Experience Macau’s Communities” on phone. With the new mobile app, users can explore various walking tour routes more conveniently for a wonderful travel experience.
MGTO unveiled the first four walking tour routes under the theme “Step Out, Experience Macau’s Communities” in September, encouraging visitors to explore different quarters in Macau for fascinating encounters and local traditions. The four routes include “A Tour of Historical Trails”, “A Tour of Nature and Creativity”, “A Tour of East Meets West” and “A Tour of Arts and Culture”. In line with the four walking tours, the “Step Out, Macau” App not only provides maps and videos of the four routes but also introduces various tourist spots along the routes as well as transportation tips in the first stage. Other functions will be successively available including virtual reality, social network and instant information.
The app is available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Portuguese. Citizens and visitors are welcome to download the app for use. Users may search and download the app for free from App Store by entering the key word “Step Out, Macau”, or go to the link for free download: https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/lun-qu-xing-shang-step-out/id775613890?mt=8. MGTO will also launch the Android version in the future so that more visitors can use the app.
MGTO is actively promoting community tourism, guiding visitors to stroll around various local quarters leisurely and discover hidden gems in town. At the same time, the Office will continue to provide Macau travel information through multimedia and interactive channels.
