Official data show that in the first five days of the Chinese New Year break from 21 January to 25 January, Macau received over 318,000 tourists, a jump of over 300% compared with last year. With mainland China relaxing border controls, many mainland tourists have flocked to Macau, returning this “gambling capital of the world” to its former glory.
This Chinese New Year saw crowds returning to the streets of Macau, where tourism is a key economic pillar.
