Employees of official tourism organisations from Portuguese-speaking countries are doing two-week internships at the Macau Government Tourism Office, officials said.
Five interns from Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Timor-Leste (East Timor) will work in departments of the Tourism Office related to the job they do in their home countries, as part of a programme developed in cooperation with the Permanent Secretariat of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries (Macau).
Next May and June another 16 tourism employees from Portuguese-speaking countries including Cabo Verde (Cape Verde), will do another internship at the Tourism Promotion, Planning and Development Department, the Licensing and Inspection Department and the Administrative and Financial Department.
The Tourism Office internships also include technical visits to Macau’s World Heritage Sites and other tourist attraction in the territory.
The programme is intended to contribute to training tourism professionals in the countries it covers, provide opportunities for participants to find out about development of the tourist industry in Macau and the daily work the Tourism Office does.
After signing memoranda of understanding for tourism cooperation with the tourism authorities of Mozambique, Guinea Bissau and Cabo Verde (Cape Verde) in 2010 and Timor-Leste (East Timor) in 2013, in 2012 and 2013 the Macau Tourism Office received a total of 40 interns from the tourism sectors of Portuguese-speaking countries.
