Macao welcomes PATA: Transforming Asia Pacific tourism
With Macao playing host to the annual Pacific Area Travel Association (PATA) summit, delegates were able to experience a taste of the exciting dining, cultural and city-based experiences that will help the SAR go from strength to strength in a changing world.

Flying into the unknown
One hundred years ago, Portuguese pilots undertook a remarkable journey, flying a small plane from Portugal to Macao over three and a half months. The expedition, led by Sarmento de Beires, Brito Pais and Manuel Gouveia, was a milestone in the history of aviation.
A milestone for the Macau bridge
