Macau Government Tourist Office showcased Macau’s splendour at the India Outbound Travel Market (OTM), India's leading travel show, held in Mumbai and New Delhi.

MGTO, joined by representatives from tour operators, travel agents and hotels, took part in OTM held in Mumbai from February 6 to 8 before the travel fair continues in New Delhi from February 11 to 13. OTM is attended by a well-balanced mix of the travel trade, corporate and business travel decision makers, leisure and holiday travellers.

OTM has been a platform for Macau to highlight its charms to the Indian traveller in the past, and MGTO plans to leverage the travel mart more forcefully along with the travel trade. The booth of Macau in Mumbai was attended by crowds of visitors who showed great interest in Macau’s tourism products.

Dazzled by the upward trajectory of growth in Indian visitor arrivals, with 107,513 Indian visitors travelled to Macau in 2009, a 30.5% increase compared to 2008, major players like The Venetian Macau-Resort Hotel, City of Dreams, China Travel Service make their presence felt at the OTM this year. Indeed the travel fair is a great opportunity for the Indian travel trade to ink hotel deals etc and sell Macau more aggressively than before.
