The Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) said in a statement yesterday that it launched an online survey yesterday to collect opinions from residents on the possible implementation of a tourist tax – an “entry fee” to be paid by tourists.
The one-month online survey will end on June 20. Residents can fill in a questionnaire, choosing Chinese, English or Portuguese, on http://www.macaotourism.gov.mo/r/zh/ottr, the statement said. According to the website for the survey, the questionnaire is intended for Macau residents aged at least 18.
In addition to the online questionnaire, the office has also distributed questionnaires to members of the city’s tourism sector, and is carrying out a face-to-face survey of visitors leaving Macau at the city’s various border checkpoints, the statement said.
