According to the latest data from the Public Security Police, as of noon on Sunday, November 10th, the number of visitors to Macau this year has exceeded 30 million, surpassing last year’s total of 28.25 million.
The average number of daily arrivals is about 95,000, a 27 percent increase compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately 87 percent of the pre-pandemic level in 2019, when Macau received 39.4 million visitors.
Statistics show that mainland Chinese visitors make up the largest share, at 70 percent, with a 33 percent year-on-year increase. Visitors from Hong Kong account for 21 percent, with a slight increase of 0.5 percent year-on-year. Visitors from Taiwan account for 2 percent, with a significant increase of 73 percent year-on-year. Other international visitors make up 7 percent, with an 83 percent year-on-year growth.
In terms of entry point distribution, 39 percent of visitors entered through the Gongbei checkpoint, 25 percent via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, 12 percent through Hengqin, and 9 percent through the airport.
The Public Security Police noted that the number of inbound visitors has been steadily increasing, with good order maintained at all checkpoints. With the implementation of various policies benefiting Macau and several large-scale events taking place in November, it is expected that the flow of people at the checkpoints will remain high throughout the month.
In addition, according to earlier forecasts from the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO), the total number of visitors for the entire year is expected to reach 33 million, with the international visitor target set at 2 million. As of the first three quarters of this year, international visitors have already reached 1.67 million.
