The 10 best body sunscreens of 2024 — recommended by celebrities, dermatologists and experts

It is peak summer and you know what that means? Sun, surf, sand…and, if you’re not careful, sunburn. In 2024, we all know that finding and using the best body sunscreens are crucial to protecting our skin. This wasn’t really an issue when I was growing up. In the ’80s and ’90s, Gen Xers like me were more focused on deepening our bronze-y, skin-leathering tans (following the adage of Snooki from MTV’s The Jersey Shore: “If you can’t tone it, tan it!”) than we were in finding high-quality SPF to protect us from the sun. But times have (blessedly) changed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, skin cancer is now the most common cancer in the United States. The best way to prevent it? Regular use of high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen, particularly one that blocks the damage caused by both UVA and UVB rays. “The American Academy of Dermatology recommends reapplying sunscreen every two hours when outdoors, and more frequently if swimming or sweating,” says Los Angeles dermatologist and facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kay Durairaj. “For mature skin, which may already show signs of photo-damage, diligent reapplication is not just beneficial, it’s essential for maintaining skin health and vitality.” And, while many of us (especially those with sensitive skin) are acquainted with the best sunscreens for our faces, most of us don’t know how or what to look for in a well-made body sunscreen. Read our frequently asked questions below for more on how to select the right sunscreen for you. And check out our picks below as recommended by dermatologists, celebrities and the Yahoo Shopping editors.

The best body sunscreens of 2024

Supergoop!

This broad-spectrum sunscreen is sweat-resistant (for 80 minutes), lightning-fast absorbing and the gentle formula is great for all skin types (it’s especially excellent for kids). It’s designed to be used on both face and body, which makes it convenient and versatile — it’s the only sunscreen I pack on vacation) — especially since it comes in a number of sizes, including both a tiny travel-size tube and a handy Supergoop Play Everyday jumbo size, an 18-ounce tub with an easy-to-use, family-friendly applicator pump.

For more info, check out my in-depth review of Supergoop.

Pros

Lightweight
Fast absorbing
Broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen (protects against both UVA and UVB rays)
Family-friendly (gentle/works for many types of skin)
Moisturizing
No white cast

Cons

Texture may be too greasy for some users

$24 at Nordstrom

EltaMD

Nearly every expert I spoke to raved about EltaMD’s sunscreen line as safe and effective. This formula is both a mineral and chemical SPF, so the texture feels smooth going on and it is absorbed fast. It’s also fragrance- and oil-free. The brand has legions of die-hard fans, including Brooke Shields, who, after a skin cancer scare, told Elle magazine: “I use sunscreen every day now. … I’m a long-time user of the EltaMD sunscreen line. I always apply in the morning and one time during the day.”

Pros

Fast absorbing
Noncomedogenic, fragrance- and oil-free
Smooth texture
Broad-spectrum coverage
No white cast

$34 at Walmart

Thrive Natural Care

From an environmental standpoint, Thrive’s sunscreen has a ton going for it: It’s reef-safe, made of ingredients that support regenerative farming and contained in a tube that’s comprised of 100% recycled plastic. What’s inside is just as good, a potent zinc oxide mineral sunscreen that absorbs into skin easily with zero white cast (at least on my fair-ish skin). The scent is a kind of citrus-hippie, which I don’t mind, but some users found a bit strong.

Pros

Earth and reef friendly
Natural ingredients
Absorbs fast and easily
No white cast

Cons

Texture may be too greasy for some

$30 at Amazon

Blue Lizard

This reliable, fragrance-free natural mineral sunscreen from the Australian company Blue Lizard is a long-standing family favorite with more than 10,000 5-star Amazon reviews. It’s ultra-gentle, sweat- and water-resistant (up to 80 mins), offers serious broad-spectrum protection and the smooth, creamy texture absorbs quickly into skin. Plus, it’s affordable: just $15 for 5 ounces.

Pros

Fragrance free
Good for all skin types
Absorbs quickly
No white cast
Sweat and water resistant
Affordable

Cons

Not reef safe
Some users found it hard to remove

$15 at Amazon

La Roche-Posay

The award-winning French La Roche-Posay Anthelios sunscreen is considered among the best in the world. The texture is lightweight, almost watery (like a thin day cream), which soaked into my skin on contact.

Once on, the formula looked natural, with no greasy feel, no stickiness and no glossy sheen.

You can read my in-depth review of La Roche-Posay Anthelios sunscreen here.

Pros

Lightweight
Fragrance free
Gentle
Broad-spectrum mineral protection

Cons

Packaged in a small tube, not great for longer trips

$26 at Amazon

Neutrogena

Neutrogena’s lightweight, sheer, high-coverage chemical SPF is dermatologist-recommended, affordable, reliable and beloved by not only normies like us, but celebs like Nicole Kidman, who told Allure in 2019: “I’m shooting outdoors a lot, so the most important thing is the sunscreen — I use Neutrogena. … I reapply every 90 minutes, every single day.”

Pros

Absorbs quickly
Affordable
No white cast
Potent coverage
Dermatologist recommended

Cons

Not reef safe
Not cruelty-free

$9 at Amazon

Epicuren Discovery

A luxurious, extra-silky mineral sunscreen cream that combines zinc oxide with bee propolis and vitamin C to nourish your skin, Epicuren’s formula is also a favorite of actress Tracee Ellis Ross: “It looks natural. Some sunscreens are not great if you’re a person of color,” she explained to Harper’s Bazaar in 2017.

Pros

Blends seamlessly into deep skin shades
Natural formula
Broad spectrum coverage
Lightweight
Skin nourishing

$55 at Amazon

Sun Bum

I first tried Sun Bum’s SPF 70 sunscreen spray after picking it up in a grocery store while on vacation, which is one of Sun Bum’s biggest pros — it’s widely available. The spray protected me from any hint of sunburn for a full seven days, even after several hours in the pool.

The texture is silky and not at all sticky. The spray nozzle releases a fine mist that covers large swaths of the body with minimal effort — truly the best kind of sunscreen application. It worked so well, in fact, that I was able to cover my back without the aid of another adult.

The spray smells like coconut-banana, but not in a way that was overpowering or unpleasant for me. Still, the scent is some reviewers’ major complaint about Sun Bum (I just thought it smelled like sunscreen).

Read my full Sun Bum review here.

Pros

Strong, even protection
Nongreasy
Fast-absorbing
SPF 70
Affordable

Cons

Some may find the scent overpowering
Reef-friendly but not reef-safe

$16 at Amazon

Cotz

Cotz was founded in 2002 by reconstructive plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Fallick who set out to make a gentle, versatile everyday sunscreen his patients would actually use. The result is this water-resistant SPF 40 mineral sunscreen, which not only protects but soothes sensitive skin. The ultra-silky cream is reef-safe and free of dyes, fragrances, oils, preservatives, gluten and phthlates.

Pros

Broad spectrum coverage
Works for body and face
No white cast on most skin tones
Fragrance-free
Reef safe

Cons

Some users don’t like the goopy, thick texture

$30 at Amazon

ISDIN

The name may be a mouthful, but dermatologists swear by this one. Doctors we spoke to particularly recommend it for patients who have known sun damage. Isdin’s Eryfotona Actinica is one of the best mineral sunscreens, is lightweight, won’t leave your skin feeling greasy and has UVA/UVB protection. It’s also formulated with skin-healing ingredients like vitamin E to help fight UVA-induced skin damage.

Pros

Good for sensitive skin
Contains skin-repairing nutritients
Broad spectrum SPF
Fast absorbing
Lightweight
Scent-free

Cons

Expensive
Water-resistant for only 40 minutes

Body sunscreen FAQ

What’s the difference between face sunscreen and body sunscreen?

It’s easy to think you can just use any sunscreen, anywhere, but there’s a reason to invest in different iterations for different anatomy — beyond just Big Sunscreen trying to rip you off. The skin on our faces tends to be thinner and more easily irritated and sunburned than the skin on our bodies, which means facial sunscreens are designed to be stronger, more hypoallergenic and less greasy (to avoid both acne flare-ups and burning your eyes) than those made for your arms, back and legs. Because face sunscreens are formulated more like skin care (often with high-end skin care ingredients), they tend to be more expensive. They’re also packaged in smaller quantities, often not ample for repeatedly covering larger swaths of skin.

“When choosing a good sunscreen for body, it’s usually easier [than for face]: you can select from more options,” explains cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban. “Oil-based, spray, mist, light body lotion or heavier cream formulations can most often be applied without issue for normal skin.” Though she cautions: “Those with super sensitive or reactive skin do need to select those that will not irritate or exacerbate skin conditions.”

Other considerations when choosing a new body SPF: deciding between mineral or chemical sunscreens (the main difference: chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and act as a kind of sponge for harmful rays, while mineral sunscreens use literal minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to create a physical shield that protects skin from UV light, which is why they’re sometimes referred to as physical sunscreens).

You should also select a product with a SPF 30 or higher, one that you enjoy (or at least don’t mind) applying, with a scent and texture that’s pleasant to you. Remember, the most important aspect of sunscreen shopping is finding one you’ll actually use.

Can I use body sunscreen on my face?

Experts I spoke with gave a resounding “yes!” to this question but only if there are no alternative face sunscreens around (the idea being that any sunscreen is better than no sunscreen). Sun protection for your face is usually more lightweight, contains antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and is usually better for the more tender facial dermis (these products also often contain complexion-smoothing qualities, as in the case of the best tinted sunscreens). There are exceptions of course — some quality sunburn preventers, like Supergoop’s Play, are formulated to work on both face and body.

Does sunscreen expire?

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration mandates that any sunscreen remain effective for at least 36 months; after that the strength of your sunscreen may diminish and deteriorate. Many sunscreens have expiration dates and should be discarded immediately after the date marked. According the Mayo Clinic, you should also toss any product in which “the color or texture changes significantly.”

What to know about airline refunds, delays as global IT outage causes ‘mass chaos,’ expert says

Travelers wait in line at a Delta Airlines counter at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, on July 19, 2024. Airlines around the world experienced disruption on an unprecedented scale after a widespread global computer outage grounded planes and created chaos at airports.

Ting Shen/Bloomberg via Getty Images

Major airlines like United, Delta and American Airlines grounded flights Friday morning amid a global IT outage impacting their operations, triggering delays for travelers.

“You can imagine the mass chaos unfolding everywhere,” said Eric Napoli, chief legal officer at AirHelp, which helps fliers claim compensation for delayed or canceled flights.

“Any kind of shutdown, the bottleneck [it has] on so many flights is incredible,” he added.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on impact of global cyber outage

Passengers impacted by flight disruptions may be entitled to a refund, hotel or meal voucher or other remuneration.

But it largely depends on the airline, travel experts said.

“There is this kind of gray area where we’re at the mercy of what the airline’s policy is,” Napoli said.

Experts are also divided as to whether the outage constitutes an event within or outside of airlines’ control — an important factor in determining whether a customer is entitled to any sort of financial compensation.

What to know about airlines’ financial duty

There’s really only one guarantee about an airline’s financial duty: Customers are owed a refund of the ticket price (and fees) if the carrier cancels their flight — regardless of the reason — and they choose not to travel on an alternate flight, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

This is true even for non-refundable tickets.

That means customers would get cash back on a canceled flight if they opt not to fly, and also decline an alternative like a rebooking or flight voucher, said John Breyault, travel expert at the National Consumers League.

Passengers are also entitled to a refund for “significant” schedule changes or delays, and opt not to fly, the DOT said.

However, the DOT doesn’t define “significant.” That determination is based on factors like length of delay and flight and particular circumstances, the agency said.

Starting Oct. 28, airlines will have to “promptly” and automatically pay refunds to customers, due to a Biden administration rule issued in April. That rule also defines “significant” itinerary changes, including delays of three hours for domestic flights and six hours for international flights.

However, since the rule takes effect in October, it doesn’t help customers affected by Friday’s outage. They may have to “jump through hoops with the airline” to claim a refund, Breyault said.

It may be yet more challenging for fliers who bought a ticket through a third-party booking site, and not directly with the airline, experts said.

Customers will likely have to transact with that intermediary for any kind of financial compensation, said Napoli.

Expedia, for example, said on social media Friday morning it was “experiencing high call volume and long wait times due to a global IT outage. If your needs are not urgent, please consider postponing your call and chat to avoid long hold times.”

Airline policies differ on meals, hotels

However, many travelers affected by Friday’s outage need or want to fly to their end destination, meaning they wouldn’t be entitled to a refund.

There are generally no federal guarantees for travelers in such cases. This is where specific airline policy comes into play.

“The airline is going to fly you to your destination, on the next available flight,” said Sara Rathner, a travel expert at NerdWallet.

“What might differ [between airlines] is how much compensation you might get after the fact, not just for the delays but any other costs you might incur,” she added.

The Transportation Department website outlines carriers’ promises to customers in the event of cancellations or delays longer than three hours. (Its dashboard outlines policies for 10 large U.S. airlines and their regional operating partners, which account for 96% of domestic passenger air traffic.)

Airlines are “required to adhere” to these promises, the agency said.

All airlines commit to rebook passengers on the same airline for free. Some will do so on a partner airline, and most will offer a meal and/or a hotel stay for long delays or cancellations, Napoli said.

Is the global IT outage ‘controllable’ or not?

However, airlines’ commitments only apply to circumstances within the airline’s control.

A “controllable” flight cancellation or delay may be due to maintenance or crew problems, cabin cleaning, baggage loading or fueling, for example, according to the Transportation Department.

It’s generally harder for consumers to get any sort of compensation for uncontrollable events like weather, Breyault said.

Experts seem to disagree on whether Friday’s outage would be deemed to be within airlines’ control.

CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity firm, experienced a major disruption on Friday linked to a tech update. That impacted organizations like Microsoft, which scrambled to restore apps and services used by a huge number of firms — including airlines.

“This seems a few degrees removed from the airlines,” said Rathner of NerdWallet. “It’s software they use as part of their operations.”

However, airlines choose their vendors, Breyault said. One could argue “a failure by one of their vendors is controllable,” he said.

“I think it’ll be something consumers should keep an eye on,” Breyault said.

Passengers should keep any receipts for unexpected costs incurred due to a delay or cancellation — like those for lodging and meals — for financial proof when filing a claim with an airline or travel insurer, for example, Rathner said.

“You may get some of that money back, so don’t throw those receipts away,” she said.

In Benin, POWERCHINA has undertaken multipurpose stadium projects, constructing sports facilities in 10 cities. Locally led construction includes stands, all-weather running tracks, offices, and landscaping. The project overcame challenges of tight deadlines, extensive tasks, and logistics across multiple cities to ensure progress and quality. POWERCHINA upholds its principle of treating project sites like cities at home, fostering community bonds, and fulfilling corporate social responsibilities diligently.

The Benguela and Lubango Stadiums in Angola are designed and constructed by POWERCHINA. Signed on Dec. 18th, 2007 and delivered in December 2009, the project is two of the four important stadiums built in Angola for the 2010 Africa Football Cup of Nations, providing important support for the smooth organization of the event.

POWERCHINA not only builds sports facilities globally but also promotes employee wellness through sports events. In Ecuador, the Company sponsored the SINOHYDRO Cup Football Friendly Match, part of the Ecuadorian Amazon Region Electric Power Union Sports Competition. Local and Chinese employees participated, with the multicultural POWERCHINA team winning. The Mayor of El Chaco commended POWERCHINA for its active role and support in local sports, acknowledging its significant community contributions. Similarly, the Company has organized and engaged in football and badminton events in the UAE and Malaysia respectively, further fostering sports participation and community development.

BEIJING, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 2024 Global Gen Z Dialogue at Mount Tai, co-hosted by China Daily, the Information Office of Shandong Provincial People’s Government, and the Foreign Affairs Office of Shandong Provincial People’s Government, wrapped up successfully on July 18th in Tai’an, Shandong province. The event, held under the theme “Scaling the Mountain of Youthful Dreams,” brought together young people from around the world to promote cultural exchange and celebrate Mount Tai, one of China’s Five Mountains.

2024 Global Gen Z Dialogue at Mount Tai concluded successfully on July 18 in Tai’an of Shangdong province.

Participants, including eleven Gen Z representatives from the US, Germany, South Korea, and Iran, embarked on a captivating tour of Tai’an. The itinerary included a challenging yet rewarding climb to the peak of Mount Tai, offering breathtaking panoramic views. They also visited Dai Temple to marvel at its ancient stone carvings, indulged in the culinary delights of Shandong cuisine, and witnessed a captivating performance of Mount Tai shadow puppetry, a cherished piece of China’s intangible cultural heritage.

The event provided a platform for young participants to share their unique experiences. Mikhail Milko, a Russian economics student at Peking University, recounted his memorable climbs of Mount Tai in both sunny and rainy conditions. He likened the mountain’s diverse beauty to the importance of embracing the richness and variety of nature with a positive perspective. He extended this philosophy to cultural exchange, emphasizing the value of inclusively appreciating different languages and traditions.

Mikhail Milko offered insights on climbing Mount Tai.

Olivia Sabine Schubert, a German student of Chinese and mathematics at Sun Yat-sen University, offered a comparative perspective on Mount Tai’s beauty. She noted its universal appeal, connecting people across the globe through their shared appreciation for natural wonders. Olivia expressed her deep appreciation for the cultural tours and dialogues, highlighting their ability to enrich lives and foster a sense of global interconnectedness. She concluded by referencing the wisdom of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: “In living nature nothing happens that is not in connection with a whole,” underscoring the importance of these cultural bridges.

Olivia Sabine Schubert spoke about Mount Tai’s role in uniting humanity.

The dialogue extended beyond personal experiences, inviting experts to delve into the cultural and spiritual significance of Mount Tai.

Tang Jinnan, the Party secretary of Peking University’s School of Journalism and Communication, shared the inspiring story of Yang Xin, a renowned Peking University philosopher who embodied the spirit of Mount Tai through his dedication to academia. Tang emphasized Mount Tai’s role as a powerful cultural touchstone and spiritual benchmark that deeply resonates with the Chinese people.

Keum Jia, a South Korean scholar specializing in Chinese studies, explored the positive impact of cultural exchange by sharing insights into cultural differences and integration between China and South Korea. Her analysis highlighted how Mount Tai fosters friendly relations on a global scale.

Zhou Ying, professor at the Taishan Research Institute, Taishan University, concluded by elucidating the importance of Mount Tai culture in reflecting the core values of Chinese civilization: continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peacefulness.

4 Days of Family Fun at Cotai Expo – Free-Admission Sands Shopping Carnival Open Now

Free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers July 18-21

Supports Macao government’s “tourism+” initiative

MACAO, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sands China’s annual signature event, the 2024 Sands Shopping Carnival, kicked off Thursday at The Venetian^® Macao with an opening ceremony attended by representatives from the government, finance, business, and community services sectors.

Guests of honour officiate the opening ceremony of the 2024 Sands Shopping Carnival Thursday at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo.

Guests of honour receive a guided tour of the Sands Shopping Carnival Thursday at The Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo, after officiating the opening ceremony.

Sands China Ltd. Executive Vice Chairman Dr. Wilfred Wong visits BOC Smart Kids Presents: Little Master Chef Workshop, a Sands Shopping Carnival activity, Thursday at Cotai Expo.

The free-admission Sands Shopping Carnival is the largest sale event in Macao and is open from noon to 10 p.m. daily, Thursday-Sunday, July 18-21 at Cotai Expo Halls A and B, with a special invitation-only preview session on the first day.

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: “The Sands Shopping Carnival is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year. Over these five years, Sands China has maintained a steadfast partnership with the Macao SAR Government, the Macao Chamber of Commerce, and other supporting entities, providing relentless support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through this platform without seeking any financial return. Together, we have successfully created nearly 2,800 exhibition booths over the years. This year also marks the momentous 20th anniversary of Sands Macao. As a long-standing pillar of Macao’s business landscape, we have deep ties with the local community. Our commitment to supporting local SMEs is unwavering, and we embrace the philosophy of growing with SMEs. Year after year, we have organised the Sands Shopping Carnival, fostering mutual assistance and collaboration across various sectors in Macao.”

Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, director of the Macao Government Tourism Office, said: “Shopping is a key component of tourism. In the first quarter of this year, 48 percent of visitor expenditure in Macao was dedicated to shopping, which constituted the largest category of tourism expenditure, followed by accommodation and dining. Delivering exceptional shopping experiences is therefore crucial for enhancing the overall travel experience of tourists. It is essential for the retail service industry to catch up with market demands by continuously introducing products that cater to customers’ preferences and providing meticulous and personalised services.”

U Kin Cho, vice president of the board of directors of the Macao Chamber of Commerce, said: “Sands China is committed to supporting the Macao SAR government’s initiatives to promote the growth of SMEs. For five consecutive years, they have organised the Sands Shopping Carnival, a remarkable event that serves as a free business platform for SMEs. This event helps them expand their market presence and create new business opportunities. The Sands Shopping Carnival has been a resounding success, attracting over 100,000 participants annually. It has become one of the largest discount sale events in Macao and a renowned signature event in the local retail industry. We firmly believe that with the active involvement of major corporations like Sands China, and the determined efforts of SMEs in their own transformation and upgrading, Macao will undoubtedly regain its economic vitality.”

The Sands Shopping Carnival offers a free business platform for local SMEs and Sands retailers, helping them create more business opportunities, while providing a fun weekend destination hotspot for local residents and tourists in support of the Macao government’s ‘tourism+’ initiative. It is the fifth year that Sands China is running the shopping and leisure hotspot, with total visitation for the last four carnivals surpassing 420,000.

The carnival is free-admission, and is the largest sale event in Macao. It is open from noon to 10 p.m. daily, Thursday-Sunday, July 18-21 at Cotai Expo Halls A and B, with a special invitation-only preview session on the first day. The carnival features more than 580 booths, with a record-breaking 325 booths dedicated to local SME suppliers. Additionally, the carnival offers nine exhibition zones across 21,000 square metres: Sands retailers; household products; parenting and family; gourmet and wine; food court; green living; Macao cultural and creative; play and fun; and Macao specialties and souvenirs. Among the more than 260,000 products, the 2024 Sands Shopping Carnival features a limited number of special daily MOP 1 items each day for shoppers.

Furthermore, the Sands Shopping Carnival has witnessed a continuous increase in the number of participating community organisations, encompassing a wide range of areas including culture and creativity, as well as food and beverage. This trend reflects the transformation of the carnival into a grand shopping extravaganza, uniting all sectors within Macao. As part of Sands China’s long-standing efforts to promote social inclusion, Sands Cares Ambassadors are providing on-site support to local community organisations participating in the carnival, such as by helping man their booths.

The carnival features free parking as well as complimentary shuttle buses running routes to and from various locations throughout the city: Luso International Bank Building at Nam Van, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Frontier Post at Macao Port, Border Gate, and Hengqin Port (Macao side).

The Sands Shopping Carnival features a variety of shopping, an international-cuisine food court area, and family-friendly entertainment, activities and games. Carnival highlights include:

Over 580 booths offering more than 260,000 products and some of the best deals in town, including special daily MOP 1 products and huge discounts of up to 90 per cent off; visitors are encouraged to support sustainability by bringing their own shopping bags
BOC Smart Kids Presents: Little Master Chef Workshop, a free food-prep and decorating activity for children, led by Sands China’s food and beverage team, featuring Mexican Tacos, Vietnamese spring rolls, handmade sushi, and more
ICBC ePay Presents: National Essence: Hanfu Styling Contest, with adults aged 18 or above from cities in the Greater Bay Area competing Saturday for the Excellence Award and a judging panel awarding prizes on the same day
Bank of Communications Presents: Rising Stars: 2024 Kids Talent Showdown, providing a platform for children aged 5 to 12 years old in cities in the Greater Bay Area to showcase their talents on stage on Sunday; outstanding individuals and teams will be awarded an Excellence Award on the same day
Food Court featuring a variety of regional and international choices, with free eco-friendly utensils available

The 2024 Sands Shopping Carnival is organised by Sands China Ltd. and co-organised by the Macao Chamber of Commerce, with the full support of the Economic and Technological Development Bureau, the Macao Government Tourism Office, and the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute. It is sponsored by BOC Macau, ICBC (Macau), Bank of Communications Co., Ltd. Macau Branch, and BNU.
