With a brand new web design, the office offers the latest Macau travel information to visitors around the world and runs the website in 15 languages to cater for diverse needs of travelers from a variety of countries and regions. The new website is expected to captivate more visitors of different nationalities. The webpage can be viewed in 15 languages ranging from Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian to Arabic.
The website presents travel information in 9 categories namely Plan your trip, Sightseeing, Shows & Entertainment, Shopping, Dining Out, Events & Festivities, Business Tourism, Useful Info and Interactive Corner. Besides general sightseeing info, the website comes with different new items and provides more elaborate categorization as well as comprehensive travel tips for visitors. New subcategories such as Shows, Cultural & Creative Industries Zones, Family Fun, etc. are added into the category of Shows & Entertainment; in addition, the Shopping category inspires ideas of shopping in Macau by zone and category, whereas Macanese Cuisine and Recipes are introduced in the Dining Out category. Visitors can experience Macau in wide-ranging perspectives through the website.
The innovative website is equipped with not only practical travel tips but also multi-media and interactive elements, e.g. Trip Planner and 3D Tours. These functions enable visitors to have a glimpse of Macau’s scenery in advance and leisurely plan their itinerary. During their trip planning, visitors can listen to the audio introduction or view the panorama of different sightseeing spots online; they can also click the map right on the website. For visitors who enjoy a stroll around the city, 9 suggested routes are available in Walking Tours for their reference.
