Guangdong province has announced that travel agencies have been allowed to resume sales of flights to other Chinese provinces and Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- Authorities in Guangdong have\u00a0eased travel-related limitations for outbound travellers\u00a0<\/strong>amid a decline in the number of Chinese destinations deemed high-risk for Covid-19. Travel agencies may resume sales of flight plus hotel packages<\/strong>, and tour packages for travel to other provinces, including Macau.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measure doesn’t include travel to ‘mid’ or ‘high-risk’ areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the operator of Zhuhai Airport has said passengers are no longer required to show a Covid-19 negative test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, authorities in Macau also announced a\u00a0relaxation in border entry requirements<\/a>\u00a0for people coming from Guangdong. The government also allowed an extension for the\u00a0validity of negative Covid-19 tests<\/strong>\u00a0for visitors from Guangdong from 48 hours to seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities expect to continue\u00a0easing border restrictions as the number of flights rises\u00a0<\/strong>in the upcoming weeks ahead of October’s Golden Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macao Government Tourism Office<\/a>\u00a0director\u00a0Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes\u00a0<\/strong>predicted Macau could receive 25,000 visitors per day during the October Golden Week.\u00a0Mainland China continues to be the only country to have a\u00a0largely quarantine-free travel bubble<\/a>\u00a0with Macau.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to local media reports, the\u00a0number of buses crossing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is set to double\u00a0<\/strong>during the following days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bus is the only transport link between the two cities as the ferry services were suspended last February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June,\u00a0Alvis Lo lek Long<\/strong>, Macau Health Bureau director, had said that a\u00a0travel bubble<\/a>\u00a0between Hong Kong and Macau could be contemplated once Hong Kong passes\u00a028 days without a local Covid-19 case<\/strong>. However, the plan was delayed after Hong Kong detected local Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
