2024-05-07
"Slow down in Macau, the most beautiful scenery," commented Ms. Wang, a tourist who had just finished her trip to Macau. "Enthusiastic, considerate, patient, meticulous, and comfortable." Miss Chen, her companion, used "Five Hearts" to describe her "Five Star Macau" in her mind. The May Day holiday that has just passed, although Macau has been experiencing rainy weather for many days, has not dampened the enthusiasm of tourists. According to the latest data from the Public Security Police Department of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government, during the 5-day holiday of May Day, all ports in Macau cleared smoothly, with a total of 2.989 million people entering and exiting the country, an average of 598000 people per day, an increase of 12.7% compared to the same period in 2023. There were a total of 604000 tourists visiting Australia, with a daily average of 121000, an increase of 23% compared to the same period in 2023. Among them, mainland tourists accounted for 80.5%, with 486000 people, an increase of 29.9% year-on-year. When sheltering from the rain under the eaves of the street, the shopkeeper sent Dim sum for tasting, and when asking for directions, people with umbrellas enthusiastically helped guide the way, and the major tourist attractions were arranged in order... Many tourists shared the warm moments brought by the Macao trip on social networks. "Tourism Ambassador, you and I are both." In recent years, the Tourism Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government has launched the "Macau Ritual Movement", inviting the public to participate, encouraging all sectors of the city to treat guests with courtesy, promoting the image of Macau as a polite city, and further consolidating the status of Macau as a world tourism and leisure center. Zhang Jianzhong, Chairman of the Macau Tourism Association and Chairman of China Travel Service Macau, stated that during the May Day holiday, tourists visiting Macau mainly went on "individual trips", with an average occupancy rate of over 90% in hotels in Macau and multiple hotels reaching 100% occupancy rate. The Macau Light Rail has extended its operating hours during holidays and increased shuttle buses at various hubs. These details reflect the proactive adjustments made by Macau to cope with the increasing number of passengers, providing a good experience that is conducive to attracting tourists from both domestic and international markets. In cooperation with the SAR government to build a city image of integrity and tourism friendliness in Macau, the Macau Consumer Council continues to promote industry participation in the "Integrity Store Recognition Program.". As of the end of 2023, the number of "integrity stores" has increased to over 1400. "When choosing a souvenir shop in Macau, the sign of 'Integrity Shop' is reassuring. Coupled with the patient introduction of the salesperson in Mandarin, it makes me feel more the human touch behind the souvenir gift," said Mr. Liu, a Beijing tourist. In order to continuously promote community economy and enhance the overall attractiveness of the community, the Macao Special Administrative Region Government's Economic and Technological Development Bureau has launched the "Huahui North District" activity in the North District, and launched the "Macao North District Shopping and Eating Check in Map" to connect the local cuisine and attractions. "This is my second time traveling to Macau. I didn't go to traditional attractions such as Da San Ba or Ma Ge Temple, but instead explored the livelihood areas such as Chopstick Base and Gao Shide, visited Ye Ting's former residence and Xian Xinghai Memorial Hall, and had breakfast in the market, experiencing the other side of Macau's tourism," said Mr. Gao, a tourist from Xiamen. During the May Day holiday, Hengqin Port has once again become a hot spot for tourism to Macau. According to statistics from the Hengqin Border Inspection Station, the daily passenger flow record of Hengqin Port has been refreshed multiple times since its opening during the May Day holiday period
