Intelligence

Market context

Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

Macao SAR, China — Cotai Strip, Greater Bay Area

Why it matters

Macao's Cotai Strip is one of the world's densest hospitality clusters, with roughly 140 hotels and around 47,000 guest rooms concentrated within a few kilometres, plus continuous F&B, equipment and operating-supply refresh cycles across the integrated resorts. Sitting beside Hengqin and Zhuhai and connected to Hong Kong by the HZMB bridge and ferries, Macao gives suppliers a compact, high-value gateway into the wider Greater Bay Area's hotels, restaurants and catering chains — which is why a sourcing expo anchored at The Venetian Macao draws both regional buyers and international brands.

Visa & entry documents

Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

Visa not required

On-arrival available

ATA Carnet: check with organiser

Type	Who needs it	Fee	Processing
Visa-free entry	Passport holders from around 80 jurisdictions, including most EU states (up to 90 days), the UK (up to 6 months), and the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Korea (typically 30–90 days as published)	—	None — granted on arrival
Macao SAR visa (in advance or on arrival)	Nationals not on the visa-free list, and travellers whose planned stay exceeds their visa-free allowance	$12.50	Same day on arrival at Macau International Airport or land checkpoints; allow ~5–7 working days if applying through a Chinese embassy/consulate or the Macao immigration authority in advance
Mainland China Exit-Entry Permit (Two-Way Permit)	Mainland Chinese residents travelling to Macao	$8.00	About 7–10 working days at the local exit-entry administration

Macao is a separate immigration area from mainland China, so a China visa does not cover entry to Macao and vice versa; if you route via Hong Kong or Zhuhai you may cross additional borders, so carry your passport and onward documentation.

Macao is a separate customs territory — confirm temporary import and exhibition-goods procedures with the organiser and Macao Customs rather than assuming ATA Carnet coverage.

Official visa page

Weather

November is one of Macao's driest and most comfortable months, with daytime highs of about 22–25 °C and overnight lows of 17–19 °C, low humidity and only roughly 4–6 rain days (~30–40 mm). Light layers plus a compact umbrella are enough, and the exhibition halls and resorts are strongly air-conditioned.

Plan for the climate

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Venue connectivity

Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to China.

Ride-hailing

Taxis

Public transit

Car rentals

Cultural notes

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

Tipping and service charges

Most hotels and larger restaurants add a 10% service charge; small tips (MOP 10–20) are appreciated but not compulsory. Taxi drivers do not expect a tip — rounding up the fare is enough.

Business etiquette

Business cards are exchanged with both hands and a slight nod; use surnames with the appropriate honorific. Punctuality is respected and meetings often open with light small talk. English is widely used in the hotel and F&B trade, while Cantonese and Portuguese are the official languages.

Dress and venue etiquette

Smart-casual business attire works on the exhibition floor; air-conditioning in Cotai Expo and the resorts is strong, so bring a light jacket. Macao is a Special Administrative Region of China — carry your passport or travel document for identification.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Flights

Destination: MFM

Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Macao; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.

Visa

Macao is a separate immigration area from mainland China. Many nationalities (most EU states, UK, US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea and others) enter visa-free for 30–90 days, so most trade visitors need no advance visa; other nationals can obtain a Macao visa in advance or on arrival, with published fees of roughly MOP 100 single-entry / MOP 200 multiple-entry (~USD 12.50/25). Mainland Chinese residents need a Two-Way Exit-Entry Permit with a Macao endorsement. Confirm your nationality's allowance — and any extra border crossings if you travel via Hong Kong or Zhuhai — on the Macao government tourism/immigration pages before booking.

Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.

The permitted length of stay varies by nationality; confirm your passport's allowance with Macao immigration before booking. Published Macao visa fees are approximately MOP 100 single-entry (~USD 12.50) and MOP 200 multiple-entry (~USD 25), payable in patacas.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Day 1 — Wednesday 18 November 2026 (opening day; confirm the final published schedule with the organiser)

The listing currently shows a single show day on 18 November 2026, so opening day carries the fullest exhibitor line-up, the official opening and media moments, and the densest buyer traffic. For serious supplier meetings, arrive at opening and pre-book stand appointments; if the organiser confirms a multi-day run, use day 1 for the full floor sweep and day 2 for quieter, longer negotiation slots.

Verify passport validity and entry rules for Macao — Confirm your nationality's visa or visa-free entry status for Macao SAR and ensure your passport is valid for at least six months.

Book flights to Macao (MFM) — Compare fares into Macao International Airport (MFM), with Hong Kong or Zhuhai as alternate connecting gateways.

Reserve a hotel near The Venetian Macao — Cotai Strip properties such as The Venetian Macao and neighbouring resorts are within walking distance of the venue.

Complete online visitor registration — Register through the official AHSE site cn.ahsemacao.com to receive your buyer or visitor badge.

Download the hall plan and 2026 exhibitor list — Map the hospitality equipment, catering and F&B supplier halls you need to cover in one day.

Pre-schedule B2B meetings — Contact target exhibitors before travel to lock meeting slots on the show floor.

Shortlist forum and seminar sessions — Review the programme published on cn.ahsemacao.com and block the sessions that match your sourcing goals.

Plan local transport to the venue — Use Macao taxi, hotel shuttle or the Macao Light Rapid Transit to reach The Venetian Macao; allow extra time on show morning.

Prepare business and procurement documents — Bring business cards, company registration details and any buyer documentation required for trade access.

Check November weather and pack accordingly — Macao in November is generally mild and dry; pack light business attire plus a layer for air-conditioned halls.

Prepare meeting and quotation materials — Print or load spec sheets, target price bands and supplier comparison templates for on-site negotiation.
