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; however, data exclude travel agencies that suspended business and those non-contacts.
Monthly information on guests is collected from hotels and guesthouses, excluding those that suspended business as well as those that did not provide accommodation services to the public (e.g. establishments designated for medical observation and self-health monitoring).
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 were extrapolated from 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.
