Macau’s authorities have reported a small increase of visitors coming from mainland China after the resumption of visas for Zhuhai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Macau.- Authorities have revealed little change in the number of tourists entering the city since border restrictions were loosened this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to data from the Public Security Police Force, tourists entering the city increased by 14.5 per cent between August 12 and 13. That represents around 6,800 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That comes as the issuance of tourist visas for Zhuhai residents resumed on August 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tourist visas are scheduled to resume for Guangdong on August 26 and then for the whole of China on September 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The majority of entries in the city remain from mainland non-resident workers (56,800) and local residents (48,300).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall a total of 226,800 entries and exits were reported at local borders yesterday, a 6.8 per cent rise from the prior day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police spokeperson Ma Chio Heng said: \u201cIn fact, we have not reported a large increase in border movements since August 12 [\u2026] We will monitor if movements increase and dispatch more personnel to the borders”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
