Macau tourist arrivals up 10 pct in Christmas holidays

Tourist arrivals to Macau during the Christmas period – defined as December 20 to December 26 inclusive – rose 9.9 percent year-on-year, according to data from the city’s Public Security Police released on Tuesday.

The tourist arrival tally for the period was 1,087,867, showed information taken from the seven immigration checkpoints serving the territory.

There were a total of 1,181,598 arrivals at the Border Gate, out of an aggregate of 1,649,497 arrivals by all travellers to the city during the period.

The second most popular arrival point was the Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal at the Outer Harbour, which recorded 196,683 arrivals during Christmas, with the Pac On Temporary Ferry Terminal at Taipa the third most popular arrival point, with 105,489 arrivals of tourists and locals.
