Macau as An Ideal Destination 
Macau is a uniquely attractive destination for domestic and international MICE organizers.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site with more than 20 historical locations has a rich cultural heritage for visitors to explore; and is also a food lovers' paradise designated as a UNESCO city of gastronomy.

Benefiting from favorable Macau SAR policies encouraging MICE events and advanced infrastructure development, Macau now has an unprecedented opportunity to develop its MICE industry. 

Transportation and Advanced Infrastructure
Most notable among vastly-improved transportation links is the newly-opened Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. The world's longest sea-crossing dramatically enhances Macau's connectivity with the region's Greater Bay Area. 'The age of the bridge' heralds a new era for placing Macau on the world's MICE industry map.

Macau is also seamlessly connected by direct flights to major cities in Greater China and over 200 cities worldwide via 3 major international airports, including Macau International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport and Zhuhai International Airport with over 94 million passengers and approximately 600,000 aircrafts movements in 2018.

Integrated Resort and MICE Destination
Galaxy International Convention Center connects seamlessly with multiple award-winning integrated resort Galaxy Macau™, with Macau's largest collection of luxury hotel brands under one roof -- The Ritz-Carlton, Macau, Banyan Tree Macau, JW Marriott Hotel Macau, Hotel Okura Macau, Galaxy Hotel™ and Broadway Hotel. 

Poised to open a new chapter for MICE tourism, guests also enjoy easy access to 1.1 million m2 of unique entertainment, shopping and leisure attractions. These include 120 dining options at Galaxy Macau, some of which have been garnered such prestigious accolades as the Michelin Stars, and Broadway Food Street at Broadway Macau™ which is just a link bridge away from Galaxy Macau.

Blending business and leisure, GICC also provides guests easy access to The Grand Resort Deck, a unique rooftop 'tropical beach' experience with the world's longest Skytop Aquatic Adventure Rapids and a 150-meter beach front Wave Pool with white sand beach. Leisure attractions extend to The Promenade Shops of 200 international brands, a 3D Cineplex with state-of-art 4K laser experience, and award-winning spas.
