This year’s Golden Week concluded on Saturday with 125,234 arrivals, the lowest daily figure since 121,356 people entered Macau on the first day of the holiday period.
There were two days of more than 200,000 visitor arrivals, with Day 3 setting a new post-pandemic high of 217,451 arrivals followed by another 201,023 arrivals on Day 4.
Over the course of the eight days there were 1,034,503 arrivals from mainland China, contributing 76.2% of the total, while Hong Kong added another 253,453 or 18.7%.
By mode of arrival, 490,254 entered Macau via the Border Gate, 324,420 by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and 202,806 via the Hengqin Port. There were also 180,058 arrivals by ferry and 75,242 by air.
Separately, the MGTO revealed an average hotel occupancy rate of 95.2% during Golden Week, peaking at 97.9% on Day 4, based on figures provided by industry operators. The average room rate of Macau’s hotel establishments was around MOP$1,922 (US$239), up 23.4% year-on-year, it added.
