Hotel occupancy reached 494,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) <\/strong>has reported that Macau’s average hotel occupancy rate rose by 4.2 percentage points month-on-month to 41.8 per cent in October. The rate was down by 3 percentage points when compared to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest numbers rose 11.3 per cent annually to 494,300<\/strong>, although the average length of stay fell slightly to 1.7 days. Five-star hotel occupancy rates rose by 4.4 percentage points to 40.4 per cent. Four-star hotels and two-star hotels were down by 20 and 18.6 percentage points, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, 258,500 people stayed in five-star hotels<\/strong>, a year-on-year increase of 64.9 per cent, and 114,800 people stayed in four-star hotels, a year-on-year decrease of 21.5 per cent. Three-star hotels had just 89,100 guests, down 14 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occupancy comprised 390,000 mainland Chinese tourists <\/strong>and 70,000 local tourists, up 15 per cent and 11.1 per cent respectively. The number of tourists taking part in tours rose 324 per cent year-on-year to 3,100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, commercial flights took off and landed 893 times, a year-on-year increase of 17 per cent. In the first 10 months of this year, commercial flights took off and landed 8,044 times, a year-on-year decrease of 32 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week ago, the DSEC <\/strong>reported that 580,333 tourists arrived in Macau in October<\/a>. The figure was up 4 per cent when compared to the previous month<\/a> and up 76.8 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the growth, the performance was disappointing given that the October Golden Week<\/a> took place in the first week of the month. Some 182,000 visitors<\/strong> arrived in Macau between October 1 and 7, accounting for 31.4 per cent of the entire month\u2019s arrivals. Of those, 163,000 were from China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
