The creation of this administration dates back to the middle of the 16th century, when Macau was colonized and gradually occupied by the Portuguese. They quickly brought prosperity to the area, making it a major city and an important intermediary in trade between China, Europe and Japan, reaching its peak in the late 16th century and early Seventeenth century. . In 1987, after intense negotiations between Portugal and China, the two countries agreed that Macau would return to Chinese sovereignty on December 20, 1999. Today, Macao is experiencing rapid economic growth, based on the strong development of tourism and gambling. Casino turnover is four times higher than in Las Vegas, making Macau one of the richest cities in the world. Orson Welles has called it « the most perverted city in the world » and the poet W. H. Auden « city of indulgence« .
Macau is made up of the Macau Peninsula and two islands, Taipa and Coloane, which are linked together by land gained from the sea (the Cotai Isthmus), totaling an area of 30.3 km2, with a population of 650 834 inhabitants in 2016.
Macau is a small, very open and liberal market economy, with free movement of capital, the result of its long history as a free port. The official currency used in Macao is Pataca, which is linked to the Hong Kong dollar. Macau has been part of the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995.
Macau‘s economy is largely based on the tertiary sector, particularly in games of chance and chance, with several large casinos located in very luxurious hotels and surrounded by shops specializing in mortgages, thus bringing together three very lucrative activities related to each other, and tourism.
In 2006, the World Tourism Organization ranked Macau as the world’s 21st largest tourist destination and the 24th largest tourist destination.
