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
