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. As affected by the pandemic, data collection for Visitor Expenditure Survey for the third quarter was suspended in early to mid August and at the end of September. Results of Visitor Expenditure Survey for the third quarter of 2021 were extrapolated from approximately 5,000 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.
