Abstract
The Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO), in the Master Plan for the Development of Tourism in Macau, formally positioned Macau's tourism image as a "World Centre of Tourism and Leisure" and explained its three dimensions, namely world cultural heritage, impressive tourism products and rich leisure experiences. By categorising the tourism products featured in Macau's tourism promotional films from 2016 to 2023, and counting the duration and percentage of their footage, it was found that most of the tourism images they portrayed of Macau involved the World Heritage Sites, while the latter two were missing. As far as the strategic suggestions are concerned, diversified tourism products and spectacled audiovisual effects are the aspects that need to be focused on in the creation of future Macau tourism promotional films.
