What are Our Members Saying?

  • "With tourism at the front and center of Macao’s economy, our city has benefited immensely over the decades by engaging in PATA’s activities as well as hosting some of the association’s flagship events, helping to expand our international reach. Another key component of PATA membership has been the wealth of international expertise network it provided over the years, which has enabled several task forces tailormade to Macao to be conducted in the past and allows our tourism stakeholders to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and tools to help navigate the ever-changing tourism industry. It is also with great honor that the Macao Government Tourism Office has joined hands with PATA for nearly three decades to bring the limelight to the best practices in marketing, sustainability and social responsibility by supporting the Gold Awards, especially as Macao is striving for a more diverse and sustainable development as a world center of tourism and leisure."

    Maria Helenda de Senna Fernandes, Director, Macao Government Tourism Office

  • “The School of Hotel and Tourism Management has a long-standing relationship with PATA and is one of its major partner universities in the region. We collaborate with PATA in many fields with one of them being our joint partnership in developing a reliable and effective forecasting system for the Asia Pacific region, providing the travel and tourism sector with much-needed projection of tourism numbers in the years to come. PATA also serves as an important organisation for our students to keep abreast of industry trends and new developments. The PATA Hong Kong SHTM Student Chapter connects student members with industry professionals, preparing them to build a strong career after graduation and contribute to future tourism growth.”
