Macau’s 2023 tourist-arrival tally is likely to be “over 27 million”, said the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) in a Wednesday email in response to a GGRAsia enquiry.
That would be circa 8 percent higher than a 25-million figure mentioned by MGTO director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, in remarks to local public broadcaster TDM in early October.
The upped number – if achieved – would represent circa 69 percent of the pre-pandemic 2019 온라인카지노사이트 tally. That year Macau recorded a total of 39.4 million visitor arrivals, according to data from the city’s Statistics and Census Service.
Macau may see in 2024 visitor-arrival volume recover to “80 percent or more” of 2019′s, said the city’s Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lei Wai Nong, in remarks to the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday. It was amid discussion of the government’s Policy Address outlining its work for next year.
