Professor Li Miao recently joined the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management as the Head of the Department. A native Mainland Chinese, Professor Miao spent the last twenty years of her academic career in the United States prior to joining the University of Macau. She also spent a decade in the lodging industry in Asia before pursuing a career in higher education. Professor Miao says: “It is such an honor and privilege to join the team of integrated resort and tourism management at the University of Macau. I am deeply impressed by what my colleagues have accomplished and are committed to working closely with all internal and external stakeholders to build on what we have achieved and take the program to new heights. There is no better place than Macau and no better time than now to build a world-class hospitality and tourism program. The future of our program is fully aligned with the development strategy of the University, Macau SAR, the Greater Bay Area and the Country. I am excited about the huge potential of our program and humbled by the mission ahead of us.”
