Many enterprises started mainstreaming environment protection in recent years. The “2018 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition” (2018MIECF) will have a series of events in the “Green Business Co-operation Day”, including the Green Forum and agreement signing ceremonies, which will be held on Thursday, 12th April at 14:30 in the Sicily Room of the Venetian Macao. The Forum will invite pioneers and experts in the field of environmental protection to discuss with the audience the eco-development model and the efficiency of the tourism and MICE industry. It is now open for registration.
The Forum includes two sessions, namely “Green Economy – Sustainable Development of Tourism” and “New Pattern in MICE Industry under Eco-Cities Model”. As the global tourism market is growing and the MICE industry is emerging, the community, while enjoying the subsequent economic benefits, still holds a concern about environmental protection.
