Macau has received more than 20 million visitors so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Macau.- The Public Security Police Force (CPSP) has reported that Macau surpassed the 20 million visitor mark on July 8. That’s 26 days earlier than in 2024, partly due to new visa policies from mainland China that allow for more flexible entry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 20 million figure represents a daily average of 106,000 arrivals since the start of the year.\u00a0Mainland Chinese tourists accounted for 71.6 per cent of arrivals, followed by visitors from Hong Kong at 19.1 per cent. Taiwan visitors represented 2.4 per cent and other international markets 6.9 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report shows that the Border Gate remained the busiest entry point, handling 41 per cent of inbound visitors, followed by the Macau Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge at 24.1 per cent, and the Hengqin Port at 13.5 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public Security Police said it anticipates growth in inbound travel during the summer holiday and is cooperating with immigration on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong for smooth customs clearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) projected at the beginning of the year that annual visitor arrivals in 2025 would reach between 38 and 39 million. A report from Macau\u2019s Statistics and Census Service (DSEC)<\/a> showed that visitor arrivals increased by 25.3 per cent year-on-year to 3,372,081 in May. From January to May, 16,327,537 visitor arrivals were recorded, up by 15.2 per cent year-on-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
