Macau is Asia’s newest and most exciting destination for meetings and incentives, with billions of dollars worth of new infrastructure under way.

In fact, nowhere in Asia has there been so much investment in venues, accommodation, entertainment and attractions in recent years. Large scale resort and entertainment complexes are changing the city’s skyline with much of the development taking place on reclaimed area. Along with these developments comes a spectacular increase in the amount of meetings and events space and – with the completion of the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel, Macau now has Asia’s largest meeting facility (capable of seating up to 15,000 people).

In total contrast to this, the Historic Centre of Macau is the oldest, the most complete and consolidated array of European architectural legacy standing intact on Chinese territory. It is the product of 400 years of cultural exchange between the western world and Chinese civilisation. The blend of Portuguese and Chinese culture has produced a visually unique and splendid experience for the visitor.

Yet at the same time of the unprecedented scale of development, the historic centre of Macau - a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and the territory retains it's unique cultural identity and charm.

With world class infrastructure, a unique blend of cultures and a convenient location within the world’s most dynamic economic region, perhaps it’s time to meet the new Macau, Asia’s newest entertainment centre and resort destination. The new Macau is glamourous and luxurious offering the world’s best in entertainment, style and facilities. Macau is sure to dazzle with its bright lights and 24/7 nightlife.

Improved air, land and sea access and infrastructure developments now provide more direct linkages to Macau within Asia. There are 15 airlines servicing Macau International Airport as well as a new ferry terminal and cross border bridge to mainland China. Macau is also only a 45 minute ferry cruise from Hong Kong International Airport and 1 hour from Hong Kong Island.

Being only 28.6 square kilometres in total area, nowhere in Macau is too far away. Everything is within 30 minutes travel time. The compactness of Macau makes travel times short, allowing visitors to spend more time to savour the experience.

Macau is the ideal incentive destination to reward the very best achievers, whether they want to be pampered at luxurious resorts, be entertained, engage in high adventure or to be part of an exhilarating team building program.
