Hong Kong residents are entitled to a buy-one-get-one-free offer in the form of free return ticket for use on another day upon purchase of a shuttle bus or ferry ticket to Macau between January 13 to March 31.
This promotion comes as the local tourism office tries to boost Hong Kong residents’ arrival in Macau, partnering with several operators of Hong Kong – Macau transportation services.
In a statement, the Macao Government Tourism Office said the offer is to encourage visitors to stay overnight and longer in Macau.
The service operators currently facilitating the above special offer include Hong Kong – Macao Express, TurboJET and Cotai Water Jet.
More are expected to join successively, the statement read.
Border and pandemic measures were relaxed from Jan. 8 so that individuals entering Macau from Hong Kong are exempt from the requirement of presenting Covid-19 test results.
Ferry services have resumed after three years of suspension; the Golden Bus shuttle has also resumed and is now operating 24 hours a day.
Hong Kong remains the city’s second-largest visitor source market after mainland China.
The tourism industry is eyeing the boost of arrivals from the neighboring region, with some expecting some 10,000 visitors daily during the Chinese New Year. LV
