Macao reports upswing in visitor arrivals

Macao has reported an upward swing in the number of visitor arrivals the Special Administrative Region (SAR) welcomed in recent days.

A total of 191,828 visitor arrivals were registered between 9-15 April, with an average daily volume of 27,404 visitors, an increase of 111.7% when compared with the average daily number of visitor arrivals during the Spring Festival Golden Week (12,947).

In addition, Macao welcomed 34,252 visitor arrivals on 16 April (Friday), the highest daily record of visitor arrivals since the start of the pandemic.

Hotels saw an average occupancy rate of 61% between 9-15 April, a rise of 12.7% when compared with that of the Spring Festival Golden Week (48.3%).

As the pandemic situation remains stable in Mainland China and Macao, the Macao Government Tourism Office has seized the opportunity brought by the reinstatement of travel permits for Mainland residents to Macao, to unfold an array of online and offline promotions tailored for the Mainland.
