Backpackers planning a trip to Macau are advised to buy
worldwide travel insurance as part of their travel preparations.
According to the Macau Government Tourist Office, Macau is more popular than ever before among British holidaymakers and the region has experienced a substantial growth in tourism over recent years. The Chinese city rivals Las Vegas in terms of its casino offerings, but many industry experts believe that it has the edge over the American gambling centre due to its rich history.
Sue Whitehead, general manager of the Macau Government Tourist Office, said: "Macau has a unique culture as a result of its Chinese and Portuguese heritage, and really offers something for everyone - not just those taking in the casinos."
Macau is a former Portuguese colony and therefore offers a tremendous cultural mix that provides the opportunity for holiday experiences beyond the casinos that are making the city famous.
