Macau.-\u00a0The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO)<\/strong>\u00a0has reported that in the second week of August, the city received 81,798 visitors. The figure was up 56 per cent when compared to the previous week when Macau received an average of 7,490 visitors a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At over 17,000 visitors, Saturday’s aggregate was the highest since\u00a0the quarantine rule for outbound travel to Zhuhai was lifted<\/a>\u00a0on August 3. The\u00a0Statistics and Census Service (DSEC)\u00a0<\/strong>has reported that 9,759 tourists arrived in Macau in July. That’s a drop of 97.4 per cent\u00a0month-on-month<\/a>\u00a0and 98.8 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers were severely impacted by the latest outbreak of Covid-19 cases in Macau, which\u00a0started on June 19<\/a>\u00a0and took more than a month for the authorities to bring under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same month,\u00a0Macau\u2019s gross gaming revenue<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>was down\u00a083.9 per cent\u00a0<\/strong>month-on-month from MOP2.48bn to MOP398m (US$49.2m). The figure was down 95.3 per cent when compared to July 2021 and was the lowest since 2003, when city authorities began publishing monthly figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
