Macao Easter arrivals can exceed 100,000 a day

Andy Ukung Quang, chairman of Macau’s travel industry committee, said Macau will average more than 100,000 visitors a day during the upcoming Easter holiday.

Wu cited the figures in the Macau Daily News, a local Chinese newspaper.

Easter is not a public holiday in mainland China, but it is a public holiday in Macau and neighboring Hong Kong. In the latter case, this year’s Easter break runs from March 29 (Friday) to April 1 (Easter Monday).

This year, the Qingming period in mainland China is designated by authorities from April 4 (Thursday) to April 6 (Saturday), while the public holiday is limited until April 4 in Hong Kong.

Macao is now averaging between 70,000 and 80,000 visitors a day, Ricky Hoy Iomeng, deputy director of the country’s government’s tourism agency (MGTO), said in comments to local media at Friday’s event. But on Sunday, March 10, the number of visitors exceeded “100,000, MGTO officials noted.

Hoi said he believes Hong Kong will increase the number of Easter visitors to Macau this year, as in previous years.

This meant that the daily average for the six-day period was just over 80,000 people.

According to the public security police’s archival data, 2019 – the transaction year just before the arrival of COVID-19 – Macau received more than 550,000 visitors from April 19 to April 22, a period that was recorded as an Easter break in Hong Kong. This means the daily average for four days was more than 137,000.
