(AsiaGameHub) –   Macau received 172,057 visitors on April 5, the Ching Ming Festival—also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, a holiday based on the lunar calendar. This day was a public holiday in Macau, mainland China, and Hong Kong.

Macau’s Visitor Numbers Get a Boost From Holidays

Between April 3 and April 7, the total number of arrivals hit 665,918, averaging 133,184 visitors per day. Authorities did not release year-over-year comparison data.

The combination of holidays contributed to this trend. Mainland China observed the Ching Ming break from April 4 to April 6. Easter Friday is a public holiday in both Macau and Hong Kong, while Easter Monday is only a holiday in Hong Kong. Easter is not a holiday period on the mainland.
