The Tourism Bureau of the Macao SAR Government announced on the afternoon of the 6th that due to the impact of the global new coronary pneumonia epidemic, after careful evaluation and consideration, it was decided to cancel the 31st Macau International Fireworks Display Contest, which was originally scheduled to be held from September to October this year, as well as the student painting competition Photographic competitions and related events such as the Fire Tree Silver Flower Carnival.

Affected by the epidemic situation, Macao and various countries and regions have adopted various immigration prevention and control measures, so it is impossible to determine the teams in accordance with the procedures, and the transportation of fireworks materials and related equipment is also expected to be affected. The situation is not conducive to the preparation of the event show jobs.
The Macau Tourism Bureau also mentioned that it is paying close attention to the development of the epidemic, planning to adjust the activities in the third and fourth quarters of this year, including planning to postpone the eighth Macau International Tourism (Industry) Expo until September, and, if conditions permit, Advance the Macau Lights and Festivals scheduled for December each year from the end of September to October to boost the economy.
