Ms. Pansy Ho extended her appreciation to the government departments, other supporting units and guests for their overwhelming support to the Oktoberfest Macau at MGM. She said, “The Oktoberfest Macau at MGM is marking its 10th anniversary at the Macao Year of Gastronomy. Over the past decade, it has become a talk-of-the-town event in Macau every October. As a food-and-wine themed event featuring culture and heritage, the Oktoberfest Macau demonstrates the synergies between gastronomy, creativity, culture and tourism, elevating Macau as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. With Macau’s competitive advantages of unique culture and tourism, we will continue to offer more diversified experiences, and we look forward to creating more signature events to our guests.”
