The CTIRS, formerly the Centre for Career and Research Advancement in Integrated Resorts, was established in 2018 by the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) at the University of Macau (UM). The primary objectives of the CTIRS include the provision of a platform at the FBA, through which the UM will support the efforts of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government of China to establish Macao as a world-class tourism and leisure centre (WTLC) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). The UM will also use the platform to promote communication with other local higher education institutions for related projects. The support provided by the Central Government of China to designate Macao as a tourism education and training base in the GBA will allow the scope of activities undertaken by the CTIRS to expand over time in line with the development of the GBA.
