This year’s tourism tally could nearly reach 70 percent of what it was pre-pandemic

READING TIME

If the final two months of the year manage to bring in five million visitor arrivals, Macao’s total for 2023 will surpass 27 million.

The government expects to conclude 2023 with more than 27 million visitor arrivals for the year, according to a local media report .

The projection requires Macao to bring in five million additional visitors across November and December. If the total is reached, it would mean the city has recovered 68.5 percent of the tourism tally for 2019, which came in at 39.4 million .

The upcoming Macau Grand Prix – taking place this month – may help get the prediction over the line. Tourism authorities have expressed confidence that the city’s hotels will be 90 percent full during the two-weekend event.

Earlier this month, the government proposed earmarking 235 million patacas of its 2024 budget for attracting foreign tourists . 

The move is part of its bid to wean Macao off its dependence on the mainland Chinese gaming market, with potential seen in the travel markets of Southeast and Northeast Asia.
