Macau's 118 hotels recorded 515,000 guests in January, a year-on-year growth of 14.2 percent, the Statistics and Census Bureau (DSEC) said in a statement today.
Mainlanders accounted for 81.1 percent of all hotel guests. Local staycationers grew by 40.5 percent to 68,000, or 13 percent of all hotel guests.
Guests' average length of stay rose by 0.1 night to 1.8 nights.
The number of available guestrooms increased by 9.1 percent to 39,000 at the end of January.
The statement pointed out that data on hotels designated by the government for COVID-19 medical observation quarantine and self-health monitoring were excluded from the compilation of the results.
Guestrooms' average occupancy rate stood at 44 percent, a year-on-year growth of 3.7 percentage points.
Due to the COVID-19 threat, foreign nationals without the right of abode in Macau have been barred from entering the city since March 2020.
