 Fair play at VenetianThe Macau International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF) gets underway next week, coinciding with Mega Macao at the Venetian, in an effort to boost international attention and lure more visitors. Jackson Chang, executive director of IPIM (the Macau Trade & Investment Promotion Institute) says MIF has always served as a platform to attract business, to promote trade and liaise with international organizations. The difference this year, he says, will be in the numbers of participants and visitors. “This year, now that we have a bigger space, we have managed to attract 31 participating regions, up 48 per cent over last year and 236 delegations, up 60 per cent over last year,” Chang says. “In terms of size and delegations, we have achieved a breakthrough.” Reed Exhibitions, Global Sources and Koelnmesse Pte. Ltd. are taking part this year, with booths at the MIF International Convention and Exhibition Pavilion. A number of international organizations and consulates will also take part, including the Australian Trade Commission; AmCham Macau; the Consulate General of Canada (Hong Kong), the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Dubai’s department of tourism and commerce marketing. Also for the first time this year, IPIM is working with three Macau associations: the Convention & Exhibition Association, the Association of Advertising Agents of Macau and the Macau Fair & Trade Association to coordinate the fair. Macau Chief Executive Edmund Ho will officiate the opening ceremony on 18 October at 10:30 a.m. -------- MIF (Macau International Trade and Investment Fair)  |
