Macau announces new border crossing with Guangdong for H2

The new border crossing for pedestrians will connect Macau with the city of Zhuhai, in mainland China’s Guangdong province.

Macau.- Wong Sio Chak, Macau’s secretary for security has said he hopes a new pedestrian border crossing between Macau and Guangdong province could open during the second half of the year.

The new border crossing will connect Macau with the city of Zhuhai. It will be the first border crossing between the two cities.

Hong Kong will allow non-residents from Guangdong province and Macau to enter the city without undergoing quarantine.

However, the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has announced there will be no new travel bubbles with any country or regions soon.

During a press conference, Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) PR Director Lau Fong Chi said authorities had studied the most popular tourist destinations for locals but that those locations have a high number of Covid-19 cases so they do not plan to establish new travel bubbles.

For now, Macau has resumed travel with mainland China where travel agencies have been seeing a 20 per cent rise in bookings for flights to Macau for the Labour Day break.

According to Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd. Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) for April could be up 4 per cent from March.
