The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and MGM are collaborating on the “Youth Hospitality Activities – Macao Tourism Courtesy Short Video Contest” (the “Contest”). Macao residents aged 15 to 35, who are currently enrolled in school, are invited to submit their creative video entries. Applications for the Contest open on August 1 and close on September 25, 2024.
The Macao Courtesy Campaign continues to thrive, with MGTO and MGM launching the “Together We Deliver Exceptional Hospitality as Tourism Ambassadors” Training Series in May. Following a recent themed seminar, the two organizations are now hosting the Macao Tourism Courtesy Short Video Contest. This initiative aims to deepen young participants’ understanding of tourism’s importance and the Macao Courtesy Campaign, while enhancing Macao’s global reputation as an international metropolis. The Contest supports the city’s status as a world hub for tourism and leisure, aligning with the “1 + 4” development strategy for economic diversification.
Showcase Macao’s Warm Hospitality Through the Eyes of Youth
With the rise of digital media, video has become a leading form of communication. In the Contest, participants are invited to highlight the warmth of Macao’s hospitality by capturing its unique charm and vibrant essence under the theme “Courtesy of Macao.” We encourage entrants to delve into Macao’s rich culture, gastronomy, architecture, and the blend of tradition with modernity through their creative vision. Their videos should reflect genuine, heartfelt interactions and the warm exchanges that occur in daily life and tourism. By documenting these touching stories and the local virtues of politeness, participants can offer viewers around the world a glimpse of Macao’s heartfelt care and hospitality as an international tourist destination.
Applications and video submissions are open from August 1 to September 25.
To promote Macao’s reputation as a hospitable city, the Contest is open to residents aged 15 to 35 who are currently enrolled in high school or pursuing Bachelor’s, Master’s, or doctoral degrees. Each entry can be submitted by a team of one to three individuals, with videos limited to 30 seconds in length.
Judging Criteria and Awards
Entries will be evaluated by a panel based on four key criteria: thematic relevance, value communication, creative concept, and visual communication. The Contest will award one Gold, two Silver, and three Bronze awards, each accompanied by a trophy, certificate, and cash prizes of 15,000 patacas, 8,000 patacas, and 5,000 patacas, respectively. Additionally, 20 Merit Awards will be given, each with a certificate and a 200-pataca gift coupon.
The “Youth Hospitality Activities – Macao Tourism Courtesy Short Video Contest” is organized by MGTO and MGM and coordinated by the Macao New Chinese Youth Association.
Since the launch of the Macao Courtesy Campaign on July 1, 2023, MGTO has partnered with industry operators to provide training aimed at improving service quality among local professionals. The campaign kicked off with the “Macao Courtesy Campaign: Opening Ceremony of the Academic Year – Learn to Be an Ambassador” Sharing Session, promoting the theme “Be My Guest ∙ Feel At Home” on campus. In early 2024, the campaign introduced “Macao Courtesy Campaign” Online Learning Videos, designed for both the general public and tourism industry professionals. These resources aim to encourage residents and tourism staff to practice courtesy in their daily lives and work, enhancing the overall travel experience in Macao.
