It is the second time for Macao to host this event after it was first staged in Macao in 2008. The UFI Asia Pacific Conference organiser acknowledges that Macao\u2019s MICE industry has been improving in quality with its peripheral facilities being constantly enhanced over the last decade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The Acting President of IPIM Ms Irene Va Kuan Lau and representatives of Macao\u2019s MICE sector attended the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2019 \u2013 themed Facing the Future \u2013 in Japan from 14 to 15 March. Previously, IPIM formed a bidding team together with UFI members in Macao, including the Macau Fair &amp; Trade Association, the Macau Gaming Equipment Manufacturers Association, Nam Kwong (Group) Company Limited, Nam Kwong International Conference &amp; Exhibition Co., Ltd, and the Venetian Macao, in order to bid for the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020. Through the joint endeavour of Macao\u2019s different sectors, the city is built into an ideal location for hosting conferences. This solid foundation, together with months of hard work and meticulous planning of the bidding team, brought in the gratifying result \u2013 at the final session of this year\u2019s UFI Asia Pacific Conference, the President of UFI announced that the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020 will be staged in Macao.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The organiser chose Macao again to be the stage for the conference based on two reasons \u2013 Macao is crafting itself to be \u201cOne Centre (World Centre of Tourism and Leisure), One Platform (Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform)\u201d and Macao\u2019s MICE sector has grown qualitatively over the last decade. Since this event was held in Macao in 2008, the peripheral software and hardware facilities have been enhancing. According to the statistics previously published by UFI, Macao was the one of the best performing exhibition markets in Asia over the past five years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The bidding team is excited about the result, since UFI is one of the most representative associations in exhibition area worldwide and it gathers event managers and professional exhibition organisers from all around the world. The successful bid is believed to put impetus to the continuous development of Macao\u2019s MICE sector. The bidding team will start the preparation for the event and work in line with the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The team is planning to enrich the agenda of the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020 with elements related to the Greater Bay Area, by arranging site visit to conference and exhibition facilities in GBA cities for event attendees, further diversifying the experience for attendees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">During this year\u2019s conference, Macao MICE delegation took the chance to meet with nearly 300 influential UFI members and international exhibition elites from all parts of the world. It allowed the delegation to update themselves with the latest developments of sector while exposing to the world the advantages of Macao\u2019s exhibition and conference facilities and IPIM\u2019s \u201cOne-stop Service\u201d for Bidding MICE and Support. It also allowed Macao\u2019s exhibition industry to internationalise itself and gain international exposure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The UFI Asia Pacific Conference is held in different regions in Asia every year, with the aim of encouraging Asian MICE industry to catch up with the latest developments of in the regional and international exhibition sector, and promoting the convention and exhibition industry by allowing exchange with exhibition-related international organisations. In addition, as the Macao SAR Government has been striving to nurture the development of the MICE sector by keeping pro-actively co-operating with the sector in recent years, Macao\u2019s signature events are now growing at a steady pace, with eight local branded events approved by UFI. These events involve a vast array of areas, including trade and investment, franchise, environmental protection, automobile, yacht and aviation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.mo\/news\/p\/P19COmayst\/l\" class=\"fancybox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.mo\/news\/p\/P19COmayst\/l\" alt=\"IPIM\u2019s Acting President Ms Irene Va Kuan Lau delivers speech at the conference\" width=\"1024\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">IPIM\u2019s Acting President Ms Irene Va Kuan Lau delivers speech at the conference<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.mo\/news\/p\/P19COZFE6e\/l\" class=\"fancybox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.mo\/news\/p\/P19COZFE6e\/l\" alt=\"Group photo of Macao UFI Members at the UFI Asia Pacifc Conference in Tokyo 2019\" width=\"1024\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Group photo of Macao UFI Members at the UFI Asia Pacifc Conference in Tokyo 2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) joined hands with local MICE sector and successfully bid for the UFI Asia Pacific Conference 2020.
