Macau relaunches free cross-border transport for international visitors

The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) is once again partnering with cross-border bus and ferry operators to offer free direct bus and ferry tickets to international visitors arriving via Hong Kong, from May 1st to December 31st, 2025.

According to a press release, the initiative aims to encourage more international travelers to extend their trips to Macau, thereby expanding the city’s international visitor base.

MGTO first launched a similar campaign in 2023 and reintroduced the promotion for international visitors to Hong Kong from February to December 2024. The plan excludes travelers from the so-called Greater China region—namely, visitors from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

MGTO noted that the 11-month program was considered a success, generating over 310,000 visitor trips to Macau for tourism and related spending.

The campaign involves cooperation with transportation providers such as Hong Kong Airport Passenger Services, ferry operator TurboJET, and Cotai Water Jet. These operators will provide complimentary one-way tickets to eligible international visitors traveling from Hong Kong to Macau.
