Dear alumni, The Macao Institute for Tourism Studies Alumni Association (hereafter as "IFTMA”) was established in April 2003. It is a local nonprofit organisation in Macao. Over the past 20 years, the association has served as a bridge between alumni and the Macao Institute for Tourism Studies. The members of the association's cabinet are talented individuals nurtured by the institute, holding various positions in different fields within society. The association's objectives include strengthening the connections among alumni, advocating for their rights and interests, promoting exchanges within the industry, and carrying forward the spirit of the IFTMA. Additionally, we organise and participate in academic and cultural activities to support the development of the tourism industry in Macao. We hope to collaborate with the institute to seek learning opportunities and educational innovation, contributing to the development of tourism in Macao and the Asia-Pacific region. The election of the 6th IFTMA was successfully completed this August. We cordially invite you to attend the inauguration ceremony of the 6th IFTMA, where you can witness the swearing-in of the new officers and board members of the association.
