9/1/2007--
Macau, a city famous for its tourism for the past couple of years, is exerting
effort to further improve the industry and become a tourist destination with
something to offer to everyone.
To advocate tourism, the Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) has employed "Macau:
a World of Difference, the Difference is Macau" as the promotional slogan and
"Experience Macau!" as the theme for a series of promotions around the world
through its representatives.
Macau as a World Heritage Site.
Macau was recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) two years ago as a world heritage site. Macau is the 31st
site in China to be included on the list.
As a World Heritage Site, it sets Macau apart from the rest of the cities in the
region. MGTO intends to use this recognition as an edge to encourage not just
holidaymakers but also business travelers to visit the city through improving
its cultural resort with state-of-the-art facilities that includes large-scale
convention an exhibition spaces.
Macau Local Attractions.
The city of Macau is abundant in historical landmarks and cultural heritage. It
offers just the right blend of Latin and Asian cultures, making it a popular
destination for every tourist. Among the renowned places to visit are the
Chinese Temples and Religious Spots, Chinese gardens and Portuguese forts. Aside
from these, the presence of glazing Vegas-style casinos is what also drives
travelers to visit the city.
Where to Stay when in Macau.
There are enough things to do in and around Macau that would surely keep anyone
occupied for weeks. That's why it's better to stay for a while at one of the
finest hotels in the area.
Grandview Hotel is ideal for tourists, local and international alike, whether
staying just for a night or a week long holiday.
This four-star hotel offers pleasant guestrooms with stylish suites all in
contemporary design. It also has executive floors located on the top floors for
corporate-related functions.
It is strategically located in the heart of downtown Taipa, making tourist
landmarks such as the famous 4-faced Buddha, the Macau Jockey Club, and the
Macau Olympic Complex highly and easily accessible. Admired for its location,
Grandview Hotel gives its guests a bit of everything they need for a truly
delightful Macau experience.
