It was straight to business from the get-go at this year’s Macao International Trade & Investment Fair (MIF), with Macau and Zhuhai signing a US$4 billion deal to build a Japanese theme park in Zhuhai on Thursday, October 18.

Destination Macau has learned that Japanese movie production company, Micott & Basara Inc. are partnering with another major Japanese company to open a theme park in Zhuhai. The location and name of the “famous” Japanese partner has yet to be announced.

Charles Choy, general manager of the Vaian Group (International) Co. Ltd., which exports organic food from China to Japan and other parts of the world played a role in making the Japanese theme park entry into Zhuhai happen.

“The concept of a theme park is different from that of the U.S., so we’re talking more about a marque with a shopping mall; three- or 4-D theaters and a ferris wheel,” Choy says. “I can’t tell you where it’s going to be just yet in Zhuhai, but not in Hengqin for sure, as that area is too sensitive.”

In related MIF news, the Australians, Americans, Canadians, Germans and British were out in full force at the show. The Australian Trade Commissioner told us we could expect an Australian Chamber of Commerce to open a branch in Macau by the end of this year as the Australian population continues to expand, particularly with the development of the City of Dreams on Cotai.
