Jane Sun,commented: "We are delighted to host this event in Macao and take this wonderful opportunity to help boost domestic tourism. We have seen an increasing interest in gourmet travel and Greater China has a lot to offer,such as the strong culinary tradition and innovation in Macao. We are thrilled to facilitate our users dining experiences and hope to be able to add more destinations to our platform very soon and contribute to the recovery of global travel."

Grant Chum,Chief Operation Officer of Sands China Ltd.,said: "Sands Resorts Macao has always been committed to supporting Macao as a world-class tourism destination,providing diverse integrated resort experiences and numerous dining offerings. We value our long-term partnership with Trip.com Group,who we have been working with even more closely since the Covid-19 pandemic to contribute to the recovery of Macao's tourism. We are also delighted Trip.com Group Gourmet's Top Global Restaurant List award ceremony is taking place for the first time in Macao,at The Londoner Macao,which represents a milestone."

Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes,said of the event: "We have always sought to connect the culinary and travel worlds as a means to attract visitors to Macao. I am delighted to see so many Macao restaurants being named in domestic and global rankings,further strengthening Macao's reputation as a Creative City of Gastronomy."

Macao is known to be a city of international fusion and nowhere is that creativity more apparent than in its vibrant culinary culture. This UNESCO-designated Creative City of Gastronomy is home to several internationally renowned chefs and some of the world's finest,most imaginative restaurants. It was therefore an obvious choice for Trip.com Group to host this prestigious event there and promote travel to the southernChinese hub.

As travel restrictions are lifting and the tourism industry is slowly picking up,Chinese travellers are looking to explore their country and discover delicious cuisine typical to each region. Gourmet tourism is a great way to promote the travel industry and help it recover from the pandemic. To support this recovery,Ctrip has added 58 new Chinese cities such as Dongguan,Shantou,Zhongshan,Xining and Yinchuan to the List.

Following on from the one year anniversary of the launch of Trip.com Group's 'Travel On' Initiative,Trip.com Group Gourmet's new restaurant list is a continuation of the progress the travel group is making in enriching travel content to drive travel engagement and recovery.
