Macau

Macau is an autonomous region on the south coast of China, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong. A Portuguese territory until 1999, it reflects a mix of cultural influences. Its giant casinos and malls on the Cotai Strip, which joins the islands of Taipa and Coloane, have earned it the nickname, "Las Vegas of Asia." One of its more striking landmarks is the tall Macau Tower, with sweeping city views.

• Don't sit or stand on Buddha statue for taking a picture. This can lead to stay in prison.
• Don’t forget to show respect when greeting. While foreigners are expected to shake hands, the traditional form of greeting is the bow - the deeper you bow, the more respect you show. A foreign visitor ('gaijin') may bow the head slightly since no one expects foreigners to understand the subtle nuances of bowing generally.
• Don’t necessarily try to use ride-hailing applications like Uber in Macau - local authorities consider it illegal and can enforce actions against both drivers and passengers.
• Don’t show too much affection or intense emotions in public.
• Don’t’ forget people in Macau are honest, pleasant and soft-spoken. Deep regard for moral values and respect for human life are primary traits of the Macau etiquette, and tourists are given high regard and due respect.
• Don’t take pictures of military installations and in the areas with "no photography” signs, especially in casinos.
• Don’t bring dogs or cats into Macau without an official permit.
• Don't forget the rainy season usually runs between April and October.
• Don't be surprised local customs are much akin to western society.

Do I need travel insurance to travel to Macao?

Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to Macao. You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.

It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

We work with the top names in the industry and have already pre-selected the easiest, cheapest and best quality travel insurance on the market to save you time and money trying to find the best cover.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

• Medical Expenses
  Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses.
• Baggage and personal belongings
  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
• Cancellation
  Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
