Macau.- The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has reported that Macau received more than five million arrivals from Hong Kong in the first nine months of this year. That equates to 27 per cent of the total arrival number of 17.6 million.

MGTO director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes reported the figure during a roadshow in Hong Kong promoted by the MGTO and the Sports Bureau to promote the upcoming 70th Macau Grand Prix in November.

In July, the MGTO reported that the number of inbound tourists from January to June surpassed 11.64 million, for a daily average of more than 64,000. The figure is equivalent to 59.6 per cent of the daily average recorded in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic. Between January and September of 2019, 5.58 million tourists from Hong Kong visited Macau.
