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.
Sources of data include the Public Security Police Force, travel agencies, hotels, guesthouses and Visitor Expenditure Survey.
Data on visitor arrivals are provided by the Public Security Police Force while information on package tour visitors and outbound Macao residents using services of travel agencies is obtained from travel agencies, on a monthly basis. In the first quarter of 2021, there were 11.7% of the licensed travel agencies that failed to provide information to the Statistics and Census Service. Monthly information on guests is collected from hotels and guesthouses, excluding those that suspended business with the approval from the Macao Government Tourism Office as well as those designated for medical observation.
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 first quarter of 2021 were extrapolated from approximately 8,200 valid samples, whereas results for visitors' comments were derived by aggregating the data collected from the samples.
The Tourist Price Index reflects changes in the prices of goods and services purchased by visitors. The sections of goods and services, namely Food, Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco; Clothing and Footwear; Accommodation; Restaurant Services; Transport and Communications; Medicine and Personal Goods;
Entertainment and Cultural Activities; and Miscellaneous Goods, are determined according to the consumption pattern of visitors.
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.
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.
