The number of tourist arrivals to Macau in the three days to Monday stood at 301,705, according to preliminary data released by the city’s Public Security Police. The long weekend was associated with the Chong Yeong Festival.
Macau received an average of just above 100,500 visitors per day between Saturday (October 21) to Monday, the latter a public holiday in Macau and Hong Kong.
Saturday set the trend by delivering 110,468 visitors, showed the official data.
About 34.1 percent of Macau’s three-day tally of visitors arrived via the Border Gate land crossing with Zhuhai, in neighbouring Guangdong province. That post provided 102,791 arrivals, and was the busiest entry checkpoint to Macau during the long weekend.
That was followed by the border crossing at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, with an aggregate of 97,670 arrivals during the three-day period, accounting for 32.4 percent of the overall figure.
