Entrada livre.
Abstract:
The Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, designated as the Macao SAR once it was reintegrated into China in 1999 under the ‘One country, Two systems’ policy, has an important role to play in China’s contemporary worldwide economic power history. The Macao SAR has been one of the cities in the world with the highest income generated by the tourism sector, in particular, by the gambling industry. Tourism promotion of a mixed culture and an East-West identity has been developed simultaneously. This strategy of governmental institutions not only seeks to diversify tourism economy, as well as, to reinforce Macao’s role as a platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. In this seminar, I’ll approach Macao tourism policies for culture and heritage in articulation with the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative of economic expansion and global alliances establishment.
