Entries during CNY increase by 4.7 percent
According to the data from the border crossing points made available by the Public Security Police Force (PSP), the number of people entering the territory between February 7 and 12 was not far from reaching the one million mark (908,247).
In comparison to the same period last year, the figures show an increase of 4.7 percent. Wednesday (February 10) and Friday (February 12) registered the largest movements of people across the borders, with a record number of 182,878 entries on Wednesday.
These figures, in contrast to those from the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO), do not include only tourists, but are also made up of non-resident workers and students. However, it is not expected that the numbers from the MGTO will differ by much since during the relevant period many of the region’s companies and all schools were on holiday break.
