Macau.-\u00a0The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC)\u00a0<\/strong>has reported that 606,841 tourists arrived in Macau during April. The figure was up 15.2 per cent when compared to the previous month when\u00a0the city received 526,912 visitors<\/a>. However, when compared to the 2021 results, the figure was down 23.7 per cent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight visitors fell 59.8 per cent while same-day visitors fell 23.7 per cent. In March, the city had been affected by a resurgence of Covid-19 cases in mainland China. However, in April the city was able to relax measures thanks to a considerable drop in new cases in neighbouring provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DSEC reported that 534,899 visitors came from mainland China<\/strong>. The figure was down 26.8 per cent when compared to the previous year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the month-on-month growth in the number of visitors, in April\u00a0Macau registered its lowest level of casino gross gambling revenue<\/a>\u00a0since September 2020. The Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau<\/strong>\u2018s figures showed that GGR for April was down 71.1 per cent month-on-month from MOP3.67bn (US$454.5m) to MOP2.68bn (US$331m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
