The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has penalised a local travel agency participating in the “Macao Ready Go! Local Tours” for jeopardising its system’s functionality and apparently leading to last week’s crash.
The processing of applications resumed for the coveted “Helicopter Ride Experience” local tour on Thursday afternoon, according to a statement by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), which pointed out that applications can still be submitted to travel agencies until 6 pm on Sunday.
Lau Fong Chi from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) confirmed during Wednesday’s press conference that no residents had been able to sign up for the helicopter itinerary of its Macao tour scheme due to system overload.
