In February, Zhongshan Municipal Tourism Bureau, Zhuhai Culture Sports and Tourism Bureau and MGTO held the 2015 conclusion meeting of regional cooperation in tourism between Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macao and the 2016 work meeting in Zhuhai. During the meeting, the three tourism authorities reached a consensus that they would continue to promote their shared image “Fragrant Hill in the past; Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macao today” through organizing joint promotional activities in various Mainland cities along High-speed rail routes to encourage visitation to the three destinations in one trip. In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen this year, the three destinations planned to participate in the related tourism activities hosted by Zhongshan Municipal Tourism Bureau. The three tourism authorities also held joint tourism presentation seminars of “multi-destination travel to Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macao” in Nanning and Guilin, Guangxi in May to promote their tourism products and destinations.

 

Back in 2006, the tourism authorities of Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macao signed the “Memorandum of Cooperation in Tourism between Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macao” to enhance their collaboration in tourism and brand their cities as one regional destination around the theme of Fragrant Hill and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen’s life history.
