Tourist arrivals hit record high since pandemic

Tourist arrivals in Macau reached a total of 191,828 visitors from April 9 to 15, showing an upward trend in recent days.
On Friday, the SAR welcomed 34,252 visitor arrivals, registering the highest daily record of visitor arrivals since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The recent arrivals registered an average daily volume of 27,404 visitors, which surged by 111.7% compared with the average daily visitor arrivals during the Spring Festival Golden Week (12,947).
Hotel establishments saw an average occupancy rate of 61.0% between April 9 to 15, a rise of 12.7 percentage points compared to the Spring Festival Golden Week, which was 48.3%.
The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) previously announced that it has been planning to launch a series of promotions in various mainland cities. The campaigns will promote Macau as a safe and healthy destination using a hybrid format of both online and offline activities, specifically to entice more mainland holidaymakers to visit Macau after China saw some bullish tourism statistics during the Ching Ming Festival.
The MGTO is looking to boost visitor numbers over the Golden Week holiday from May 1 to 5.
Traditionally, the May Golden Week is a peak travel season for mainland tourists. However, the bureau believes that the boost in the number of tourist arrivals into the city will be predicated on a stable pandemic situation in China. LV
