Macau eyes full recovery in international visitors

Lawmakers’ questions on attracting international tourists were addressed by Secretary for Economy and Finance, Anton Tai Kin Ip, who said preliminary figures show over 750,000 international visitors in the first quarter. If trends continue, Macau could see three million international arrivals this year, matching 2019 levels. Tourism chief Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes highlighted collaborations with mainland airlines to connect Macau with longer international routes and the tourism expo next week, which will host over 30 travel professionals from Central Asia to explore new markets.
