Macau recorded a total of 3,147,184 visitor arrivals in February, down 4.4% year-on-year, with the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) pointing out that the decline was mainly due to the high comparison base against the previous year driven by the eight-day Chinese New Year holiday in mainland China.

As a result, visitor arrivals from the mainland fell 6.4% year-on-year to 2,291,662 arrivals. There were also 579,843 arrivals from Hong Kong, down 4.7%, and 67,951 arrivals from Taiwan, up 14.4% over the same month last year.

International arrivals in February totaled 207,728, an increase of 17.9% year-on-year. Of those, Korea accounted for 59,330 arrivals, up 41.8% year-on-year, followed by the Philippines with 38,847 arrivals, down 2.5%.

Overnight visitors in February amounted to 1,259,358, a decrease of 11.7% year-on-year, while same-day visitors rose 1.1% to 1,887,826. The average length of stay of visitors was 1.1 days, unchanged year-on-year.

Analyzed by mode of arrival, 82% of the total or 2,579,462 visitors arrived by land, while 334,443 or 10.6% entered by sea and 233,279 or 7.4% by air in February.

For the first two months of 2025 combined, total visitor arrivals have reached 6,793,745, up 10.4% year-on-year. Same-day visitors arrivals increased by 20.8% to 4,043,105, while overnight visitors decreased by 2.0% to 2,750,640.
