Macau aims to promote Incentive travel at AIME 2014

Incentive groups of 50 or more can receive a maximum support of MOP300 (about $A45) per participant as part of a Macau “Incentive Travel Stimulation Program”. Details of the incentive program plus more will be available on the Macau stand at AIME (Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo) 2014, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on February 18-19.
