Macao looks to neighbors for aid with sustainable growth

To build itself into a world center of tourism and leisure, Macao needs to increase cooperation with the Chinese mainland as well as with other APEC members, experts said in Macao during the eighth Tourism Ministerial Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.

Lao Chi-Ngai, president of the Macao Economic Association, said Macao's tourism industry still has room for further development despite its geographic limitations.

However, Macao cannot "fight alone", Lao said.
