The city could record nearly 36 million visitor arrivals if the average daily number remains over 100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- During a recent plenary session of the Legislative Assembly, Macau’s chief executive, Ho Iat Seng<\/strong>, said that Macau could attract more than 30 million tourists in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He outlined two scenarios. If the average daily number of visitors remains above 100,000, Macau could see nearly 36 million arrivals. In a more conservative estimate of a daily average of around 80,000, Macau would receive up to 34 million visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last year, Macau\u00a0received 28.23 million<\/a>, 71 per cent of the 2019 pre-pandemic levels (39.4 million). Ho also emphasized the central government’s support for Macau and its commitment to bolstering tourism.\u00a0Initiatives under consideration include a multi-entry visa program between Macau and Hengqin for tour groups<\/a>. Ho believes such a scheme would attract more tour groups to Macau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier this month, the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) announced\u00a0a series of overseas roadshows<\/a>\u00a0in Seoul, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur between late April and June as part of a strategy to boost international arrivals. The MGTO has said that the city aims to attract\u00a0around 2 million visitors<\/a>\u00a0from outside of China this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The city could record nearly 36 million visitor arrivals if the average daily number remains over 100,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":25802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Macau's Chief Executive, Ho Iat Seng, projects 30-36 million visitor arrivals for 2024, a significant increase from 28.23 million in 2023, driven by central government support and initiatives like a multi-entry visa program with Hengqin.
