Macau.com is a destination marketing company and travel agency based in Macau, China that focuses on information and trip planning tools for visitors coming to Macau ^[1]. The company markets accommodation, shows, restaurants, entertainment and attractions in Macau and the Pearl River Delta region. It concentrates its business on the inbound market, primarily coming from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Australia and southeast Asia, as well as on air routes serviced by low-cost carriers, like Tiger Airways, Air Asia, and Viva Macau ^[2].

The company was established in 2006 with GoMacau.com as its brand. In June 2007, GoMacau.com acquired Macau's Number 1 Website, Macau.com ^[3]. This acquisition significantly extends GoMacau.com's consumer reach and helps complement two brands together. Macau.com is the premier web portal and online travel agency for hotel accommodation, shows tickets and packaged tour products. The company is owned by MKW Capital Management, a private equity firm with investments in several Macau-based businesses.

Macau.com is officially registered as Macau 24 Hours Travel Agency Limited.

[edit] Events

Macau.com signed a strategic partnership with Viva Macau airlines in December 2006 whereby the two companies committed to jointly promote Macau as a travel destination^[4]. In addition, Macau.com and Macau Fisherman's Wharf launched partnership for future co-operation in Macau's event market in November 2007^[5].

As the preeminent online destination marketing company dedicated to Macau, Macau.com frequently offers many pioneering promotional activities and events, such as HKD1 for particular 5-star Macau hotel rooms ^[6], unbeatable packages headlined by Macau Grand Prix and Sampras versus Federer Tennis Showdown, and the most recent “Best Rate Guarantee” program that offers the lowest online rate assurance for hotel room bookings^[7].
