CULTURE, TOURISM, EXHIBITION AND TRADE
Industry Overview
In the fields of cultural tourism, convention and exhibition, and commercial and trade industries, the Cooperation Zone has joined hands with Macao to launch the “multi-venue event” brand logo. With the sustained development of the cultural tourism sector, major attractions in Hengqin welcomed 8.4479 million visitors in the first seven months of 2024, a 29.03% year-over-year increase, generating RMB 1.966 billion in tourism revenue, up 20.89% over the same period last year. The total number of visitors in 2023 reached 11.6358 million, bringing in tourism revenue of RMB 2.788 billion. During the Spring Festival of 2024 alone, Hengqin Chimelong Tourist Resort, Novotown, Flower Promenade, and other major scenic spots in Hengqin hosted up to 766,000 visitors. In addition, the convenient travel between Hengqin and Macao enabled the daily entry of over 11,000 Hong Kong and Macao residents into the mainland via the Hengqin Port during the festive period.
Development Outlook
The Cooperation Zone has partnered with the Macao SAR to deepen the model of multi-venue events and foster integrated development between the MICE industry in both regions. In particular, three editions of the China (Macau) High-quality Consumption Exhibition & Hengqin Global Bay Areas Forum, among other branded events, were successfully held in 2022, 2023 and 2024. From January to October 2024, over 600 conferences were held in the Cooperation Zone, with the participation of more than 100,000 people. In 2024, new policies allowing multiple trips of mainland tour groups between Macao and Hengqin, as well as the multi-entry permit for eligible mainland individuals, were introduced in succession, fuelling the integrated development of tourism, MICE, commercial and trade industries in Hengqin and Macao.
