The lucky draw for inbound travelers offers a rich array of prizes, including the “Ultimate Macao Experience” package (which includes free accommodation, dining, and entertainment experiences), accommodation, dining, and entertainment experiences at Broadway Macao, Galaxy Macau, and StarWorld Hotel, dining and accommodation experiences at Fisherman’s Wharf Macao, premium accommodation experiences at Wynn Macau, and free round-trip flights with Air Macau. Numerous major shopping malls and over a thousand shops across the city are participating.

In addition, this year’s “Grand Parade of Lights in the Historic Centre of Macao” will also be held on December 6. The theme of the grand parade is a treasure hunt story, creatively designed by three young illustrators from Macao. Travelers can see these creative illustration designs along the routes from the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Rua da Sé, Rua da Flor de Lótus and Rua da Mitra, to the Largo do São Domingos, and from Rua da Caixa D’Água to the Largo do Tap Seac.
