Macau was the flavour of the month when the Macau Food Festival kicked off at the weekend at Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
Thousands of Sydneysiders packed Tumblong Park to sample Macanese delights such as spicy Portuguese chicken and tasty egg tarts along with traditional Portuguese and Chinese entertainment. It was the second year in a row that Macau had staged the colourful event under its tourism motto, “Touching Moments, Experience Macau.” A 32-strong tourism delegation flew in from Macau to herald the event, spending last week meeting with NSW Tourism Minister Geroge Souris and md of Tourism Australia, Andrew McEvoy. “We’re on a fact-finding mission on how to develop Macau as a global destination,” Joao Antunes, Director of the MGTO told Travel Daily at a Macanese luncheon at Sydney’s Sheraton on the Park. The newly-revamped hotel will also host this year’s Macau Food Week from now until 26th October in their just-opened Feast Restaurant which will feature an exciting array of Macanese dishes. “It’s fitting for us because we have the 4,000-room Sheraton Macau, the largest in the world,” added Daniella Tonetto, Regional Director Sales & Marketing, Pacific for Starwood Hotels.
