Visitor Expenditure Survey, which covers all visitors in Macao, adopts quota sampling method in selecting the sample. Enumerators collect data on spending as well as comments on services and facilities from visitors during their stay in Macao at major departure points. As affected by the pandemic, data collection for Visitor Expenditure Survey was suspended in the second quarter, but resumed in mid-August. Thus, data on visitor expenditure for the third quarter were extrapolated from around 1,400 valid samples which were collected in August and September, whereas results for visitor comments were derived by aggregating the data collected from the samples.
