Macao set to impress as city of gastronomy

Macao is looking to diversify its range of tourism services to feature food and watersports, in a bid to attract more visitors from far and wide.

The region launched the 2018 Macao Year of Gastronomy program after it was selected to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network as a city of gastronomy in October.

Food-themed events, including an international gourmet food forum and Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, will be staged in Macao this year, says Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, director of the Macao tourism office.
