Macau Tourism Director Wen Qihua said that fireworks performances are being prepared in full swing, and the epidemic prevention and disinfection work of ships and other ships has been completed. The fireworks will arrive in Australia one after another and will be installed on the barge later.
Fireworks Show For a long time
Fireworks are an important part of Macau's cultural heritage, and the firecracker industry was once one of the three major handicraft industries in Macau. In order to preserve this cultural heritage and continue the history of fireworks in Macau, and to give citizens more opportunities to appreciate fireworks, and to add a tourism resource to attract tourists to promote the tourism industry, Macau began to hold an international fireworks competition performance in September 1989. After years of creation, Macau International Fireworks Competition Performance has gained international recognition, attracting tourists from all over the world, regardless of the scale of the event, performance effect, and quality of the participating team. After the first International Fireworks Competition held, the International Fireworks Competition has also become one of the activities in Macao to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day of the Motherland since the competition scheduled to be held from the first Saturday in September to October 1st.
After Macau’s return, the international fireworks competition performance was grandly held as an annual international event, attracting many tourists. During this period, the fireworks viewing rooms in major hotels in Macau were very popular. In recent years, due to the impact of the 2017 typhoon "Tiange" and the new crown pneumonia epidemic since 2020, the international fireworks competition has had to be cancelled. However, as a special celebration of National Day, the Macau Tourism Bureau tried its best to retain the fireworks performance under the conditions permitted. In 2020, it jointly hosted the "Yuemanqin Macao National Day Fireworks Show" with the Hengqin New District Management Committee, and in 2021, it will be replaced by drone light and shadow performances.
This year, the Macau Tourism Bureau resumed the National Day fireworks performance, and also retained the Light and Shadow Festival activities. Wen Qihua introduced that this year's Light and Film Festival was renamed "Shining Macau" and is planned to be held in December. In addition to continuing to cooperate with Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Shenzhen-Cooperative Region, six local complexes will also join to expand the coverage of the event and be confident that they can bring a special feeling to the public.
Tourism policy for Australia sends positive signals
On the morning of September 24, Ho Iat Seng, Chief Executive of the Macau Special Administrative Region, held a press conference to introduce the central government's measures to benefit Australia, including supporting the resumption of electronic visas to Australia, and gradually resuming mainland travel groups coming to Australia. They will first open Guangdong and then extend to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and Shanghai. The above policies are expected to be implemented at the end of October or early November this year, and the daily passenger volume is expected to reach 40,000 by then, helping Macau accelerate the construction of a world tourism and leisure center.
Ho Iat Seng emphasized that the source of mainland customers is very important to Macau at this stage, and Macau must do a good job in epidemic prevention and control. Macau and the Mainland have an epidemic prevention circuit breaker and recovery mechanism.
