Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) invited a policy and legal expert from China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) again to present two explanatory seminars in Macau and elaborate the legal content of the "Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China" specifically for tour guides and travel agencies.
As the "Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China" has come into force in Mainland China since 1 October 2013, MGTO invited Director General of the Policy and Legal Department of CNTA, Liu Xiao Jun to come to Macau today (22 November) and address local tour guides and travel agencies about the "Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China" in two trade seminars. MGTO Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes attended the seminars as well. During the explanatory sessions, Liu Xiao Jun elaborated on some widely-concerned clauses in the Tourism Law. He also took time to respond to various issues encountered or concerned by Macau trade after the Tourism Law took effect.
MGTO previously invited another policy and legal expert from CNTA in July to address two seminars in Macau and introduce the main points of the Tourism Law for related officials and travel trade in town. With the Tourism Law in force, MGTO also sent official letters to the trade for circulation, reminding them to ensure their itinerary details coincides with the content of the contract signed between Macau's ground receiving agents and Mainland China's tour operators organizing tours for Mainland residents to Macau during their itinerary planning for Mainland tour group visit to Macau; the Office also urged the trade to carry out the content of their itinerary program exactly when they tend on the visitors.
With regard to Mainland tour groups to Macau, MGTO has received four assistance enquiries; a case about dispute between a Mainland tour-group leader and members along with one complaint from tour group members about waiting for too long since the Tourism Law took effect in the Mainland on 1 October until 21 November.
