The Macao Special Administrative Region is a part of

southwest of Guangzhou. The local time is 8 hours earlier than the Greenwich
Mean Time. The geographic coordinates of the origin are latitude 22o12’40” north
and longitude 113o32’22” east. The area of Macao has been expanding due to
coastal land reclamation, expanding from the first record of 11.6 square
kilometers in 1912 to 32.9 square kilometers in 2019. The territory consists of
Macao Peninsula, Taipa and Coloane.
Macao has a small economy, but its economy is highly
outward. As one of the regions with the lowest tax rates in Asia, Macao has a
stable fiscal and finance environment, has no foreign exchange controls, and
has the status of a free port and an independent customs area. As a highly
dynamic economy in the Asia-Pacific region, Macao is also an important link
connecting mainland China and international markets.Macao has conducted splendid Chinese and foreign
cultural exchanges for over 400 years, with its unique attractive charms. Macao
boasts traditional houses, historic temples, and also southern European-style
architecture, and European Baroque churches, all of which become distinctive
tourist attractions. This charming land is now the venue of the First
Conferecne of International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum (ISTIF) of
Boao Forum for Asia (BFA).

day of transaction. The payment for goods sold and services provided in Macao
is all settled in MOP, but HKD or other currencies in circulation are also
accepted. The exchange rate is determined according to the market fluctuations.
