The figure was reached 18 days earlier than last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) has reported that the year’s total of border crossings reached 100m on June 7, which is 18 days earlier than in 2024. This sets a new record for the shortest time taken to surpass the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increase was mainly due to new cross-border rules introduced this year. These included the “one entry per week” plan, “multiple-entry visa” options, and rules that allow Macau-registered vehicles to drive in Guangdong province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily average number of entries and exits at the city’s checkpoints stood at 600,000. That’s an increase of 10.8 per cent in year-on-year terms. The main entry point, the Border Gate, had seen over 50m crossings by May 30. The Hengqin Border and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) bridge each recorded 10m by May 7 and May 9, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macau received 12,955,456 <\/strong>visitors in the first four months of the year<\/a>. That\u2019s an increase of 12.9 per cent when compared to last year. Same-day visitors (7,578,976) grew by 23.4 per cent while overnight visitors (5,376,480) rose by 0.8 per cent. The cumulative average length of stay of visitors shortened by 0.1 day year-on-year to 1.1 days in the first four months. The duration of stay for same-day visitors (0.2 day) remained unchanged, while that for overnight visitors (2.3 days) increased by 0.1 day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average hotel occupancy rate rose by 5.1 percentage points year-on-year to 89.6 per cent in the first four months of the year<\/a>. The number of guests decreased by 3.2 per cent to 4,779,000. Some 757,000 inbound package tour visitors were recorded, an increase of 10.2 per cent year-on-year. Tour visitors from mainland China rose by 8.9 per cent year-on-year to 662,000. International tour visitors increased by 9.3 per cent to 76,000, with those coming from the Republic of Korea (38,000) growing by 24.6 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n
