Macao has opened up its gaming and tourism industries and rapidly developed its catering, hotels and convention sectors since its return to China in 1999.

To promote economic growth, Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) has been striving to diversify its economy in recent years, while taking on new roles as an international tourism and leisure center.

From hosting sports events, exhibitions and conventions to developing technology, medicine and a bond market, it has made new progress toward economic diversification.

Today, Macao SAR is among the fastest-growing economies in the world, with impressive economic vitality, social stability and a strong sense of national identity and belonging.
