The Macao Tertiary Institution Students Conference Challenge has been held for the fifth consecutive year this year, aiming to bring unique ideas and new elements to the MICE industry of Macao. The challenge enables students to have a better understanding of the MICE industry operation and improves team spirit by requiring students to produce a feasible business proposal with concerted efforts. They also get the opportunity to put theories learnt in school into practical business proposals. FHTM will continue to actively encourage students to participate in different categories of practical events and competitions and cultivate talents that will know how to combine theoretical knowledge with practice in the future.
