Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Study Tour Innovation and Collaborative Development Forum

1. Forum Introduction

With the deepening cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), education and study tours have become important means to promote regional talent exchange, cultural integration, and innovative development, receiving significant attention from national and local governments. 

As an important member of the GBA, Macao, with its rich history, culture, and international perspective, provides unique resources and platforms for study tours. The Macao SAR Government, in its "Youth Policy (2021-2030)," explicitly supports the development of study tours, encouraging youth to enhance national identity and international vision through study activities. Additionally, the "Macao SAR Moderate Economic Development Plan (2024-2028)" aims to shape Macao as a "City of Education," further supporting the development of study tours through policy and development space.
