Hotel guests fall 41 pct in March
Macau's 120 hotels welcomed 365,000 guests last month, a year-on-year drop of 41.3 percent, the Statistics and Census Bureau (DSEC) said in a statement yesterday.The bureau did no explain the sharp decline but hotel sector sources contacted by The Macau Post Daily this afternoon attributed it to the resurgence of COVID-19 in neighbouring regions. While the number of guests from the Chinese mainland fell by 50.2 percent to 269,000, the number of staycationers rose by 23.6 percent to 70,000,
