Macau has already established itself as an important link between mainland China and the world, a globally recognized tourism and leisure hub and a service platform for China's trade with Portuguese-speaking countries. The enclave, with revenue of approx. US$44 billion from more than 29 million international annual visitors, is home to a number of internationally-renowned hotels. Macau's gaming revenues were 600 per cent higher than those of Las Vegas last year. The fast paced growth of the area has already placed it on its way to becoming a true global top-level recreation and leisure center.

With Macao's strategic location on mainland China's doorstep, the Macau Auto Show has proven its international reach by bringing together over 60 major automobile brands from 15 countries and regions around the world along with Chinese proprietary automobile brands, including Dongfeng Motor, GAC Motor, Beiqi, Chang'an Automobile, SAIC Motor, JAC, China North Industries Group, Great Wall Motors, Zhengzhou Yutong Bus and Shenzhen Wuzhoulong Motors. In addition, the State-Owned Enterprise Electric Vehicle Industry Alliance of China, together with the country's eight leading state-owned new energy vehicle makers, including FAW and Potevio, will participate in this year's expo. Luxury and imported brands exhibiting at the show include Bugatti, Pagani, Lamborghini, Bentley, Mercedes Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Lexus, BMW, Nissan, Noble, Mitsuoka, Lorinser and Tesla. Concurrent events being held during the show include some 20 high-end summits and events. The show, spread out over 62,000 square meters of hall exhibition space, is expected to attract over 165,000 visitors, making it the largest, highest profile and most visited professional exhibition in Macao to date and creating a new milestone in the region's exhibition sector.
