Macao sees nearly 19% year-on-year growth in visitor arrivals in April
MACAO -- China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) welcomed over 3.09 million visitors in April 2025, marking an 18.9 percent year-on-year increase, the SAR's Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) said on Wednesday.
Same-day visitors jumped by 30.1 percent to over 1.75 million, while overnight visitors rose 6.9 percent to nearly 1.34 million. However, the average length of stay slightly dropped to 1.1 days due to the higher share of same-day travelers.
As regards the source of visitors, the Chinese mainland remained the largest source of visitors, contributing over 2.12 million arrivals, up 22.4 percent. Arrivals from China's Hong Kong and China's Taiwan also grew, up 13.4 percent and 4.4 percent respectively.
International visitor numbers increased by 10.4 percent to 230,014, with strong gains from India (up 50 percent) and Southeast Asian markets like Thailand and the Philippines, while some declines were recorded from Singapore and Malaysia.
The DSEC also noted that from January to April, total arrivals in the Macao SAR reached 12,955,456, up 12.9 percent year-on-year.
