Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes told reporters yesterday she estimates that the daily average number of mainland visitors to Macau during the mainland’s Labour Day “Golden Week” will exceed 70,000, while the occupancy rate of hotels will reach 80 to 90 percent.
The mainland’s Labour Day “Golden Week” will run from Saturday through next Wednesday.
Senna Fernandes spoke to reporters on the sidelines of the Wynn Local SME Procurement Partnership Meeting and “M-Mark” Promotion at Wynn Macau in Nape yesterday.
Senna Fernandes said that currently the average number of daily visitor arrivals has reached over 60,000, adding she hoped the number of visitors during the upcoming Labour Day “Golden Week” holiday will be as many as the Easter holidays, or even more.
Senna Fernandes said last week’s hotel booking rate was over 60 percent, adding that the bureau had reminded travel agents to stagger their tours and meals.
Wynn Macau President and Board Vice-Chairman Linda Chen Chih-Ling said that apart from hoping for a high occupancy rate during the May Day “Golden Week”, she also hoped to diversify the source of visitors, especially to receive more international visitors in Macau.
