Macao, November 07, 2025 – Wynn is hosting the 5th Macau Qingdao International Beer Carnival at Gourmet Pavilion, Wynn Palace from November 6 to 16. Featuring a wide range of beer products, the carnival aims to continue the extensive cooperation between Macao and Qingdao in culture, tourism, economy and trade. With support from Macao and Qingdao governments, Wynn has successfully hosted the beer and cultural festival for four consecutive years since 2021, facilitating exchange and communication between the two cities. This year, the signature event has been fully upgraded as the 5th Macau Qingdao International Beer Carnival, jointly organized by Asia Brewery (Macau) Company Limited, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. and the Macau Leisure Tourism Services Innovation Association under the guidance of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Qingdao Municipal People's Government, and with support from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute of the Macao SAR (IPIM). Themed "Ola Macau! Hajiu Qingdao!," the carnival highlights Macao's unique appeal as an open and inclusive World Center of Tourism and Leisure, while also injecting new momentum into the economies of both cities, further broadening and deepening cultural exchange, and driving shared prosperity.
The opening ceremony of the beer carnival took place at the Wynn Palace Event Marquee on November 6, featuring the "Macao Debut of Tsingtao Extra Light." This event launched the "Extra Light," a brand-new product promoting the healthy concept of "zero sugar, low calorie, and low energy" with an energy content of only 125 kcal and a carbohydrate content as low as 3.5g per 500ml, making it a highlight of the beer carnival this year. Additionally, a variety of innovative products are being showcased at the carnival, including high-end liquors such as Huadong wines and XO cognac, demonstrating product diversity and creating an immersive, multisensory beer experience for all visitors.
Officiating guests at the ceremony included: Mr. Yang Quanzhou, Deputy Director-General of the Economic Affairs Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Macao SAR; Ms. Zhang Hui, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Qingdao Municipal Committee; Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO); Ms. Wong Yee Lam, Acting President of the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) of the Macao SAR; Mr. Song Rendeng, Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Qingdao Municipal People's Government; Ms. Zoe Zou, Chief Marketing Officer of Resort Marketing of Wynn Macau, Limited; Mr. Paul Wong, President of the Macau Leisure Tourism Services Innovation Association; and Mr. Franklin Ma, Chairman of the Board of Tsingtao Brewery International.
Ms. Zhang Hui, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Qingdao Municipal Committee remarked in her speech: "Qingdao and Macao have maintained frequent exchanges in recent years. Exchange events such as the Dynamic Macao Business and Trade Fair and the Qingdao-Macao International Offshore Race have attracted participation from many Qingdao residents. Furthermore, Qingdao's inclusion in the Individual Visit Scheme has driven traveler numbers between Qingdao and Macao to new highs. As the beer carnival is being held concurrently with the state-level 15th National Games, Macao as one of the host cities will definitely present a spectacle where sporting passion meets beer craze."
Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of MGTO noted in her speech: "Both Qingdao and Macao are important node cities along the Maritime Silk Road and members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. This special bond has brought the two cities together, enabling them to continually strengthen cooperation in multiple areas, including "tourism + gastronomy, culture, sports, economy and trade" for mutual benefit, success and development. Through this event, the two cities will further explore opportunities for collaboration and continue to discover new avenues for development by leveraging their synergy."
Ms. Zoe Zou, Chief Marketing Officer of Resort Marketing of Wynn Macau, Limited said in her speech that this signature event has been upgraded not only to consolidate and expand the achievements of its four previous editions, but also to demonstrate full support for the ongoing cooperation between Macao and Qingdao. We hope the International Beer Carnival will further drive the extensive integration of culture, tourism, and festive elements to attract more international visitors and boost Macao's mega event economy. We also anticipate that the event will encourage in-depth exchanges among enterprises from both cities, fostering joint efforts that propel economic prosperity and cultural integration."
