MGTO<\/em><\/strong> Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said: \u201cWe can see the numbers are increasing, it will take time. It will be a gradual recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n“At the moment weekend visitation numbers are very similar to those on weekdays and we hope this series of events can attract more overnight visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Fernandes, the Macau government has invested RMB3.45 million (US$514,336) in consumer vouchers for mainland tourists, which were said to have driven more than RMB80 million (US$12 million) in transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities also spent RMB8.9 million (US$1.33 million) in hotel vouchers promoting 26,000 hotel night stays, MNA reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authorities expect the Macau GP, from November 19 to 22, and the Macau Food Festival from November 7 to December 6, will also increase visitation rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Elsie Ao Ieong U said: \u201cThrough a cooperation with Chinese channel CCTV-5, Chinese celebrities, KOLs and social media platforms we hope to inform tourists that Macau is a safe tourism destination.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
