With the Grand Prix approaching, hotel occupancy in Macau is meeting expectations, with over 90 percent of rooms already booked, according to Cheng Wai Tong, Deputy Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO).
The Sports Bureau has reported strong ticket sales, and it is expected that this year’s event will generate a vibrant atmosphere, leading to a high number of visitors. The MGTO has predicted that the four-day Macau Grand Prix will attract over 400,000 people.
Cheng further noted that, while the Macau Grand Prix has traditionally attracted many visitors from Hong Kong and abroad, the audience base from mainland China has been steadily growing in recent years. As a result, authorities are focusing on balancing their promotional efforts across multiple regions.
Additionally, discussions have been held with the tourism and hotel sectors, the Sports Bureau, and event organizers to create more Grand Prix-related travel packages to enhance the visitor experience. These newly launched packages have been well received, and a review of their effectiveness will be conducted after the event, with feedback collected for future improvements.
While tropical cyclones may impact weather conditions during the Grand Prix, Cheng assured that authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will provide timely updates on various platforms, allowing visitors to adjust their plans accordingly.
The Macau Grand Prix runs from Thursday, November 14th, to Sunday, November 17th.
