Macau drew 172,057 visitors on April 5, the day of Ching Ming Festival, which was a public holiday in Macau, mainland China, and Hong Kong. The date, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, is set under the lunar calendar.
Across April 3 to April 7, total arrivals reached 665,918, or 133,184 a day on average. Authorities did not publish a year on year comparison.
The holiday mix helped. Mainland China set its Ching Ming break for April 4 to April 6. Easter Friday is a holiday in Macau and Hong Kong, while Easter Monday applies only in Hong Kong. Easter is not a holiday period on the mainland.
