The 2026 Zhuhai-Hengqin-Macao Super Commercial Power Forum

As the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area continues to develop and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin accelerates, ties among Zhuhai, Hengqin, and Macao have grown closer. FHTM at MUST has long focused on coordinated cultural tourism development in the Greater Bay Area and promoted integration of academic research and industry practice. Professor Wong’s invitation reflects the Faculty’s service to the Greater Bay Area. The Faculty will deepen collaboration with Zhuguang Group, seize opportunities in the Cooperation Zone, and continue contributing to cultural tourism consumption research, cross-border tourism service innovation, and the Hengqin-Macao commercial ecosystem, supporting the Cooperation Zone and the Greater Bay Area as an international consumption hub, and advancing Macao’s moderate economic diversification and Hengqin-Macao integration.
