Culinary Team Win Second Place Again in International Snow Sculpture Contest in Japan

In the 46^th International Snow Sculpture Contest held in Hokkaido, Japan, from 3^rd to 7^th February, Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) once again supported the Macau Culinary Association’s entry in the contest. This year, local team members Perry Yuen, Tam Kwok Leung, Lon Hou In and Kou Weng Cheong won second place with their exquisite snow sculpture named ‘Sharing Prosperity’. The snow sculpture team of Macau Culinary Association has participated in the competition for four consecutive years (2016 - 2019) to bring home a championship and three second prizes.

Japan is currently the fifth largest visitor source market for Macao, surpassing 320 thousand in 2018. Supporting the team to join the International Snow Sculpture Contest, a major highlight of the Sapporo Snow Festival, MGTO hopes to ride on this opportunity to promote Macao and attract more Japanese and international visitors who enjoy participating in events and festivals.
