Abstract
Since the handover in December 1999, Macao, apart from being forged as a world-class resort for gambling, lottery, entertainment, and leisure, has been zealously engaged in international sports, tourism, and Portuguese-speaking communities. In this context, under the synergy between the Chinese and Special Administrative Region (SAR) governments, the city has not only celebrated an East Asian Games (EAG), a Lusophonia Games and an Asian Indoor Games (AIG), but also staged an Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) General Assembly, an Asia Pacific Economic and Co-operation (APEC) Tourism Ministerial Meeting, and five China-Lusophone Countries Economic and Commercial Co-operation Forum (CLCECCF) Ministerial Conferences. This chapter will investigate the reasons why the central and local authorities constantly support the casino city’s pursuit of the international conferences and sporting games.
