Macau welcomed tens of thousands of tourists every day over the Lunar New Year holiday, a stark contrast to the absence of visitors since 2020.
Macau experienced a huge surge in visitors following the January 8th dropping of all Covid-19 testing requirements for inbound travellers from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. 71,000 arrived on Monday 23rd, the highest single day recorded since the pandemic.
Over 94% of the visitors over the first three days of the Lunar New Year came from mainland China and neighbouring Hong Kong.
Average daily arrivals reached more than 51,000, a year-on-year growth of surge of 217%. Macau had only 15,000 average daily visits in 2022.
