Visitor1: Any person taking a trip to a main destination outside his/her usual environment, for less than a year, for any main purpose other than to be employed by a resident entity in the country or place visited.
Visitor who stays at least one night in a residential unit, casino, etc. in the place visited, or has accommodation arrangement with a hotel/guesthouse.
Visitor who does not stay overnight in any residential unit, hotel/guesthouse, casino, etc. in the place visited, nor does he/she have accommodation arrangement with a hotel/guesthouse.
Spending of Visitors1: The amount paid by visitors for the purchase of goods and services for own use or to give away, including expenses paid by the visitors or reimbursed by others such as relatives, friends or employers. Spending of visitors excludes gaming expenses, donations and expenditure on purchase of assets and goods for resale.
Visitor Expenditure Survey adopts the quota sampling method in the selection of respondents from all visitors. Enumerators conduct the survey at major departure points by collecting data on spending, as well as comments on services and facilities, from visitors during their stay in Macao. Results of Visitor Expenditure Survey for the fourth quarter of 2020 and for the whole year of 2020 were extrapolated from approximately 6,000 and 13,000 effective samples respectively, whereas results for visitor comments were derived by aggregating the data collected from the samples.
