Macau is a special province of the People's Republic of China, and like Hong Kong retains its own identity while still being part of the Chinese government. The province is known for its textiles, toys and electronics. Macau also became a bigger tourist destination throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. There are several luxury hotels in Macau, which offer a number of services to both business and leisure travelers.
