Macau\u2019s GGR was down 24 per cent when compared to the previous week and 51 per cent from May, mainly due to restrictions in the Guangdong province after a rise in Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Sanford C. Bernstein has reported that Macau GGR for the third week of June <\/strong>was down by 24 per cent when compared to the previous week<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau’s GGR was also down 51 per cent from May 2021, when it reached MOP10.45bn (US$1.31bn)<\/strong>, fueled by the Labour Day break<\/a>, when Macau\u2019s Public Security Police reported that 165,500 tourists came to Macau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to analysts, Macau’ daily GGR between June 1 and June 20 was MOP205m (US$25.6m), down 39 per cent from May levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts also noted VIP volume was down 40 per cent <\/strong>month-on-month in average daily rolling volume while average daily mass GGR was down 32 per cent when compared to May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau<\/a> tightened restrictions and imposed quarantine measures for arrivals from Guangdong <\/strong>after new Covid-19 cases emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government announced those who had been in Guangzhou or Foshan within the previous 14 days are required to undergo a nucleic acid test<\/strong>. From June 8, people who want to enter Macau from Guandong must show a Covid-19 negative test issued within 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news was received with some unease from the tourism sector<\/strong>. Mainland China<\/strong> is the only country to have a largely quarantine-free travel bubble<\/a> with Macau, and the majority of tourists who have come to the city in recent months are from Guandong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this situation, Sanford C. Bernstein<\/a> predicted GGR for June will be down<\/strong> 30 per cent month-on-month. However, they expect a further recovery within July and August during the summer holiday period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent days Macau<\/a> relaxed restrictions in Shenzhen city and Maoming city in mainland China\u2019s Guangdong province. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People coming from Shenzhen city and Maoming city<\/strong> no longer need to undergo a 14-day quarantine<\/strong>. However, authorities warned Macau residents to avoid travelling to the cities of Guangzhou and Foshan<\/strong>, where Covid-19 cases remain high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
