World Tourism Day is an annual event every September 27 in Macau. The date has been designated by the United Nations World Tourism Agency since 1980, so the international tourism community can use this opportunity to gather and discuss its impact on society, culture, economy, and politics.
Hosted and organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office, several exciting activities are planned to mark this important holiday in Macau.

One of the major highlights is the traditional Tray Race, where contestants don unique costumes and race from the Ruins of St. Paul’s to Senado Square. Each of them must carry a tray with a bottle of Macau Beer and do their best to finish without making the bottle fall or break.
