Macau’s hotel occupancy rate continued to climb in April, with information published by the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) on Thursday showing occupancy of 58.5% – up almost 46 percentage points on April 2020 and slightly higher than the 55.3% occupancy rate achieved in March.
While April 2020 was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore producing unusually low visitation, those numbers have been steadily growing through the first months of 2020. The Macao Government Tourism Office recently revealed a 5.3% sequential rise in visitor numbers to Macau in April to 794,819.
Keeping with that trend, DSEC said the number of guests checking into hotels and guesthouses increased from 622,000 in March to 694,000 in April of which 603,000 came from mainland China.
For the first four months of 2021 combined, the average occupancy rate of guest rooms was 48.4%, up 13.8 percentage points year-on-year with the average length of stay remaining stable at 1.7 nights.
Inbound package tours remain on hold as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent isolated outbreaks in parts of the mainland.
