STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (English): CHRISTINE SUSANNA TJHIN, Director of Strategic Communication and Research at Gentala Institute, Indonesia
"I've been to Macao twice. The first time it was I think around 2009 for a conference. I was actually (also) there last October and I see improvement in the management of tourism and economic development based on that tourism. Governance and political stability has been shown in Macao. As I said before, I was in Macao in 2009 and I was there again this year in October and the one thing that I see is also not just economic progress but also social cohesion and also the safety of the tourists there. I feel very comfortable. So this kind of feeling of safety and looking at how the city was governed and managed in a way that is quite effective, that is actually giving even further support for the local tourism. It's definitely one success story for the 'one country, two systems.'"
