MGM hosts China’s ‘Two Sessions’ seminar

MGM hosted its annual sharing session on the National People’s Congress and National Political Consultative Conference, known as the “Two Sessions,” to help team members and young people understand the nation’s development direction.

The event drew nearly 400 MGM team members, students and professors from local higher education institutions, and members of the General Association of Macau Beijing Organization. MGM noted that the event reached more than 4,000 participants online and offline.

Pansy Ho, chairperson and executive director of MGM China, addressed China’s 15th Five-Year Plan in her opening remarks, which for the first time sets building a strong tourism nation as a national strategic goal. She said the plan provides guidance for Macau’s cultural and tourism sectors.

Ho said Macau should promote “Macau + Mainland China” cultural exchanges and encourage youth to advance Chinese culture.

As Macau’s integration with Hengqin deepens, she said the city should pursue a “Tourism +” model, integrating MICE, culture, innovation, and technology, and extending industry chains into Hengqin.
