Macau Visitation Numbers Likely to Be Less This Year Than Previously Thought

When 2021 began, it looked like Macau might be ready to make a significant rebound from the devastation caused by COVID-19 last year. While there weren’t any major upswings in casino revenue, there were steady increases in tourism and activity that painted a brighter picture for the rest of the year. That led the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) to optimistically predict as many as ten million tourist arrivals coming to the city before 2021 ended. However, new COVID-19 problems that have arisen in certain parts of Asia are now forcing that prediction to be revised. As of yesterday, the MGTO believes the number of tourists coming to Macau will only be between 7-8 million this year.
