A União dos Guias Turísticos de Macau revelou que a recepção de excursões durante a Semana Dourada de Maio ficou aquém das expectativas, apesar do aumento global do número de turistas. A culpa foi do elevado preço do alojamento nos hotéis. A Associação de Inovação e Serviços de Turismo de Lazer de Macau destacou a escassez de quartos de hotel.

The market-consensus ‘negative’ rating outlook on credit instruments currently applicable to Macau gaming firms could be lifted this year, against the backdrop of the Macau casino market recovery seen since January, says Bloomberg Intelligence.
There might be debt market tapping from the second quarter for some Macau-linked names, the organisation stated.
“The better-than-expected Lunar New Year visit numbers might lead to positive earnings revisions, which could lead to faster-than-expected restoration of credit metrics,” said Cecilia Chan, credit analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, in a Monday podcast.
“We now expect the leverage of most gaming issuers could fall to below their respective downgrade thresholds, from the end of 2023, which means there is a chance that the ‘negative’ rating outlook would be lifted,” she added.

É preciso olhar para a capacidade da cidade. Mais de 39 milhões de visitantes é um óptimo número, mas podíamos se calhar 30 milhões de grande qualidade. O que é preciso é termos em Macau um produto que faça as pessoas ficarem mais tempo. É o tipo de oferta de produto que conta. E aí, se calhar, não entram 39 milhões. O que Macau tem de fazer é conseguir com que as pessoas fiquem mais tempo, que sejam menos mas que gastem mais. É essa aposta que Macau deve fazer. Eu acho que Macau tem de tentar que [os turistas] não sejam tantos, mas pernoitem mais.

The report – sponsored by Visa and researched in partnership with Oxford Economics- analyzed key indicators such as Travel & Tourism’s contribution to GDP, employment, and traveler spending.

China will reopen the border with its special administrative region of Hong Kong e Macau on Sunday for the first time in three years, as it accelerates the unwinding of stringent COVID rules that have battered its economic growth.
The opening will bring the resumption of quarantine-free travel between the financial hub and the mainland, although it would be done in a "gradual and orderly" way, China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a notice on Thursday.

40 million tourists per year
Macau casino operator MGM China Holdings Ltd says it expects the Macau market to be able to attract about 40 million tourists per year, as travel restrictions are eased, and based on further investment to attract visitors from overseas.
The number was mentioned on Saturday by Pansy Ho Chiu King (pictured), managing director of MGM Grand Paradise SA, the local concession-holding entity of MGM China. With her was Kenneth Feng Xiaofeng, MGM China’s president and strategic and chief financial officer.

The Macau government has announced a new subsidy scheme for local travel agencies, with the aim of attracting more mainland China tourists and getting such visitors to extend their stay. The subsidy plan, to be implemented in 2023, is being run by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO).
The scheme offers up to MOP250 (US$31) per night per tourist from mainland China, for tour groups that comprise at least 10 people. The application for subsidy would have to be submitted by local travel agencies, according to the announcement.

Quarentenas reduzidas para apenas três dias e mais três de autogestão ou de zero mais três não é garantia de atrair mais turistas a Macau. Foi o que disse hoje o Chefe do Executivo Ho Iat Seng, na Assembleia Legislativa, em resposta ao deputado Pereira Coutinho que criticou o impacto das medidas antiepidémicas no fluxo de visitantes.

Ron Lam, deputado local, acredita que a situação epidémica está controlada e que o impacto sobre o setor será mínimo. Mas as “excursões poderão não ser uma opção no futuro próximo”, confessa a presidente da Associação de Guias Turísticos de Macau. Em Guangzhou, uma profissional do turismo explica ao PLATAFORMA que a pandemia forçou o Continente a criar mais ofertas turísticas e essa realidade tornou Macau um destino “fora de moda”

Monday’s announcement by the National Immigration Administration (NIA) that electronic applications for individual and group travel visas to Macau would reopen from Tuesday is a “great boon” for Macau’s return to normalcy and could help operators print positive EBITDA by December, according to JP Morgan.
In a note, research analyst DS Kim observed that the NIA’s announcement suggests eVisas will resume for 49 eligible cities from tomorrow, rather than the phased roll-out originally predicted. He also said the process appears to be the same as pre-COVID days – near-instantaneous with on-site approval from a walk-in and no need for pre-registration, visa interviews or seven-plus days of waiting.
