Preliminary figures from the Macau Government Tourist Office show visitor arrivals to Macau were in excess of one million during the January 31 to February 6 Year of the Horse celebrations, with 770,000 hailing from mainland China during its Golden Week Holidays.

Among local businesses to benefit strongly during the record-breaking times were the three to five-star hotels which recorded an average occupancy rate of almost 95%, a rise of 5.4% year-on-year.

Average occupancy rate of five-star hotels was 97.2%.

The MGTO presented a series of outdoor celebrations for this year’s Spring Festival, including the Parade of Gigantic Golden Dragon, Parade for the Celebration of the Year of the Horse and a fireworks display for the celebration of 2014 Chinese New Year.
