Time flashes by as a blink of eyes. Twelve years has gone by.

Been always supported and trusted by all, Macao International Brand Enterprise Commercial Association (MIBA) has grown and kept contributing to the community. It has been a pleasure to witness its development along with the city. Since return, Macao’s economy has been growing steadily and rapidly. Little by little, the changes are stamped on the corridors of history. This year we are celebrating the first 100 years of the Communist Party of China.

In recent years, China has been developing at a rapid pace, and despite the impact of the COVID-19, the economy has still managed to achieve positive outcome. The Central Government has also continued to introduce favourable policies, such as the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area", "One Belt, One Road" and "One Centre, One Base, One Platform", in which Macao has proven to have unique advantages. We should stand firm with our positioning and actively encourage regional economic cooperation, especially to strengthen economic cooperation and integration with the Mainland.

To better seize the opportunities, MIBA will strive to build a communication platform to maximize the interests of our members in the future, including maintain close contact with the government and Greater Bay Area organizations, strengthen cross-industry and cross-regional cooperation and expand the scope for development. We intend to formulate feasible development strategies to activate retail market and to improve travel retail service qualities in order to promote Macao to be a leisure tourism city that integrates entertainment, sightseeing, shopping, gourmet and cultural experiences. Furthermore, we are to enrich the tourism elements with the MICE industry, work with our members to contribute to the development of Macao.
