The “Macao Week in Chongqing” roadshow will liven up the Jiefangbei Square at Yuzhong District in Chongqing from 2 to 6 December. An opening ceremony will lift curtains upon this mega promotional event officially on Friday (3 December). A wide variety of captivating promotions are progressively rolled out in Chongqing to attract residents to the roadshow for a firsthand experience of Macao’s “tourism +” and entice Mainland visitors to Macao for travel and spending to foster tourism and economic revival in Macao.

Head-turning advertising on Naked-Eye 3D Screen in Chongqing

To further promote the event, MGTO has unfolded an array of physical promotions across Chongqing prior to the roadshow opening, including both stationary advertisements and animated commercials on the exterior LED walls of different buildings. A 3D animated commercial about travel to Macao is specially displayed on the 'Wings of Chongqing' Naked-Eye 3D Screen, known as the hottest check-in spot in Jiefangbei Central Business District, to offer pedestrians an immersive visual experience.

Video commercials about Macao’s “tourism +” elements are also screened on the exterior LED walls of buildings including Jiefangbei Square Commercial Building, Jiefangbei Square Golden Eagle Fortune Center and Jiefangbei Square Chongqing Department Store. An advertisement is also shown upon the LED wall of Chongqing World Financial Center to brand Macao as a safe and glamorous destination.

Transit marketing is an itinerant way to advertise and reach a wide audience. Advertisements are hence placed upon numerous buses to promote the “Macao Week in Chongqing”, “Macao Light Festival 2021 – Travellers from Mars” and “Light up Macao Drone Gala”. The bus routes cover Jiefangbei Central Business District, other major business districts, avenues and tourist attractions. Lightbox advertisements are also placed at MTR stations.
