Authorities in Macau indicate that the expansion of entry possibilities has resulted in the territory registering over 100 million entries and exits this year.
The figure (registered between January 1st and June 7th) comes 18 days before the same amount was reached in 2024, and indicates continuing demand for visitation to the gaming hub.
On average there were around 600,000 daily border crossings during the period, a 10.8 percent increase year-on-year.
The primary entry avenue – the Border Gate, registered over 50 million crossings by May 30th, while the Hengqin Border and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) bridge border registered 10 million entrants each up until May 7th and 9th, respectively.
Data from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC), the SAR’s primary statistics provider, does not yet include June, but data covering January through April show that there were nearly 12.95 million visitor arrivals, a yearly increase of 12.9 percent.
