(PRWEB) - Macau.com, the leading online destination marketing and travel company in Macau, is the official online travel agency for the World Heritage Travel Expo 2008, a networking platform designed to showcase cultural and natural heritage sites around the world.

Held in Macau from November 26-28, the World Heritage Travel Expo is an annual networking platform designed to showcase cultural and natural heritage sites around the world. As of last year, there were a total of 851 properties listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Macau’s Historic Center - a charming mix of Portuguese and Chinese architecture — has held UNESCO World Heritage status since 2005.

The expo will take place at the Cotai Strip Convention and Exhibition Center at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel. Exhibitors will be focusing on the promotion, investment and development of World Historic Sites and there will be forums on the topics of restoration and maintenance of the sites.

As the Expo’s official travel agency, Macau.com is offering participants and exhibitors exclusive customized packages for Macau’s best hotels and attractions at discounted rates. A special customized World Heritage Travel Expo microsite on Macau.com will provide selected travel and exhibition information. Regular e-newsletters will be sent to participants and visitors, containing the latest hot deals in town and a Macau entertainment booklet with hot deals at attractions and F&B outlets will be designed specifically for them.

“Macau’s unique blend of East-meets-West culture is what makes it such a unique and exciting destination for any visitor,” says Macau.com’s CEO Christina Siaw. She adds: “The World Heritage Expo holds special significance for Macau.com, because it is promoting one of Macau’s most unique tourist attractions.”

World Heritage Travel Expo Organizer Todd Cai says: “It is fitting that Macau, a former Portuguese colony, with strong influences from Western and Chinese civilizations, is the host country for an event which is about celebrating World Heritage.” He adds: “Our partnership with Macau.com ensures that our participants will get an opportunity to experience Macau’s unique culture.”
