The Art Macao U.S. Launch Campaign, a five-month marketing, travel trade, public relations and social media awareness campaign, has been awarded five accolades, including: eTourism Summit's eTSY Award in "Best Content Marketing Program," Travel Weekly Magellan "Gold Award" in the Advertising Campaign category, iNOVA "Gold Award" in the Tourism/Travel category, iNOVA "Bronze Award" in the Government Agency category, and most recently, iNOVA "Grand Award" in the Tourism/Travel category.

In addition to the above achievements Macao's 2019 Mobile Café, a six-day consumer-facing food truck activation and integrated media campaign in San Francisco, has been awarded the Travel Weekly Magellan "Gold Award" in the Events Category, PATA "Gold Award" in the Marketing Campaign category, and as a "Finalist" in the Drum Marketing Awards.

"We are honored by these accomplishments and hope to be welcoming international visitors to Macao very soon."

Beyond the industry recognition, MGTO-USA's campaigns garnered 53.2 million earned media impressions, 570-plus new passengers from the Art Macao campaign alone, resulting in an estimated $800K in direct tourism revenue for the destination, over 6,500 consumers reached via onsite food samples at the Mobile Café activation, hundreds of earned social media influencer posts, and ultimately an increase in nationwide awareness of Macao as a cultural and foodie destination worthy of any bucket list.
