Brands promoting culture   Products carrying memories

        In 2020, in response to Macao's tourism development strategy, the Company's Managing Director, Wu Kam Hon, launched the "Travessa, Beco & Pátio" cultural tourism promotion project to add a new dimension to Macao's "in-depth tourism". The company has designed the puppy IP character "Wai Wai" and publishes articles, photos and videos on Macao's "Travessa, Beco & Pátio" culture on various media platforms, sharing the little-known historical tales of Macao’s Travessa do Pastor, Pátio do Bonzo, Escada do Coxo. This is a great way to discover the more interesting cultural aspects of Macao with the public.

        The "Travessa, Beco & Pátio" project is based on the memories of people's lives in the past, creating more than 40 cultural and creative products such as toothpick holders in the shape of old Macao mailboxes, Portuguese-style ceramic coasters, bookmarks of Macao streets, "Wai Wai" refrigerator magnets and canvas bags. It also recreates children’s games of the 1960s and 1970s with a series of nostalgic products such as sandbag throwing, hopscotch and bamboo stick picking. In 2021, the company presented the  “Greater Bay Area Flying Chess” set for the China International Aerospace Expo in Zhuhai. In addition to incorporating elements from the cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the flying chess pieces are also transformed into Macao's popular speciality food to promote the "Macao brand".
