Strategic planning on promoting Macau cultural heritage tourism

The Macau economy has developed rapidly after the handover to China in 1999; the gambling industry made a great contribution to this development and continues today. However, overdependence of the unitary industry structure is risky; hence, diversity in economic development is essential to sustainable development in Macau. After Macau was listed in the ＂world heritage list＂ in 2005, Macau cultural heritage tourism as a new concept has been promoted by the Macau Government. This paper uses SWOT analysis to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Macau cultural heritage tourism. The excellent guidance of promotion from the government is needed in order to successfully create a positive image of cultural heritage tourism. Suggestions to promote Macau cultural heritage tourism are given in the last part of the paper.

Impact of FDI on Inbound Business Tourism——Empirical Research Based on Spatial Econometrics

This paper studies the spatial distribution features of FDI and Inbound Business Tourism (IBT) in China, as well as the relationship between them using the spatial autocorrelation model and spatial panel econometric model. The research shows that FDI and IBT are consistent in spatial distribution which is in the core-edge mode. Both of FDI and IBT show a positive spatial correlation. LISA charts shows that the two are in the two element distribution structure，forming a “club” gathering model and presents the phenomenon of “inside” convergence. The spatial econometric model estimation shows that the development of IBT in adjacent areas has a strong spillover effect and FDI has positive effect on IBT. IBT grows by 0.3855% with every 1% growth in FDI. The comparative analysis of the three regions shows that the effects of FDI on IBT and geographical spillover effects of IBT are as follows: East＞ Middle＞ West.
