China DailyTourists visit the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macao on Dec 17. By incorporating Macao-standard facilities and services, the project creates a seamless transition for Macao residents moving to Hengqin, said Duarte Alves, president of the general assembly of the Macanese Youth Association. "The project, paired with Hengqin's unique tax incentives and simplified procedures for cross-border business, will attract both talent and investment, creating vibrant communities that support Macao's diversification efforts," Alves said. Morlin Teng Fong, president of the Macao Greater Bay Area Culture and Tourism Association, said nearly 1,000 Macao tour guides have secured working permits in Hengqin in recent years, enabling them to more effectively cater to mainland tourists. Teng said Macao's tourism sector will ramp up training to deepen the entire industry's understanding of Hengqin's opportunities in the future.
