High hopes for holiday in Macau
Macao Government Tourism Office director Maria Helena De Senna Fernandes says she is hoping Macau will see more than 25,000 visitors per day during the May Golden Week holiday.
Fernandes said she expects most of Macau’s visitors to come from the Greater Bay areas, particularly the Guangdong province.
“Other parts of China are still battling with the pandemic, so for now we will concentrate on the Guangdong province and other parts afterwards,” Fernandes told local reporters.
Earlier this month, Macau’s chief executive, Ho Iat Seng, said he expects the May 1 Golden Week visitor numbers to likely be impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak in Guangzhou.
