Macau welcomed almost 720,000 visitors during the Chinese New Year Golden Week holiday, a slight growth of 0.45% over the same period in 2007.

More than 390,000 or 54% of the arrivals were from Mainland China, a growth of 1.03%. During the period, an average of over 13,000 hotel rooms were rented out per day, a surge of 23%. From February 6 to 14, the Macau Government Tourist Office and the Provincial Tourism Administrations of Guangdong and Fujian have jointly operated the "Chinese New Year Tourism Notifying System" to ensure enjoyable holidays for visitors.

Since the last Chinese New Year, the number of three to five star hotel rooms has increased from 11,907 to 15,184, an addition of 3,277 rooms. The significant increase in supply of hotel rooms has resulted in a slight drop in the average occupancy rate during the Chinese New Year Golden Week holiday, where three to five-star hotels registered a decrease of 3.75 percentage points.

Average room rate for 3 to 5-star hotels was MOP1322.07, a rise of 17.71% over the holiday period of last year. Average room rate of guesthouses was MOP292, an increase of 4.94%, while that of two-star hotels was MOP540.7, a rise of 5.1%.
