The event, organised by the Linguistic Society of Macao, took place on 13 and 14 April at the City University of Macau.<\/p>\n<p>IFT was represented by a 4-strong team of bachelor degree programme students. They were: Michael Tang, from the Hotel Management programme; Kathy Yin, from Tourism Event Management; Echo Huang, from Heritage Management; and Olorato Kesamang, from Tourism Retail Marketing and Management.<\/p>\n<p>The group was supported by IFT Lecturers Mr. Wilson Hong and Ms. Rachel Peralta.<\/p>\n<p>The contest took as its theme the concept \u201cGreen City\u201d. The event was sponsored by the Macao Foundation and the City University of Macau.<\/p>\n<p>The business proposal by the IFT team featured 3 interrelated concepts, namely \u201cGrey Water System\u201d, \u201cSponge City\u201d, and \u201cRainwater Garden\u201d. The proposal was crafted with the aim of easing the city\u2019s flooding problems and Macao\u2019s over-reliance on water supply from Mainland China. The suggested solution involved engaging the city\u2019s hotel industry in efforts to save and better manage water resources, thus promoting environmental sustainability and protection.<\/p>\n<p>The IFT team was praised by the competition judges for its skills and professionalism in terms of its presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team from IFT\u2019s English Speech and Debate Society secured second place in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao finals of the 9th \u201cShangjiao\u201d Business Presentation Contest.
