Macau Records Nearly 751,000 Visitors in First Four Days of October Golden Week with New Single-Day High

Macau has recorded nearly 751,000 visitor arrivals in the first four days of the October Golden Week holiday period. Data published by the Public Security Police and reported by GGRAsia show an average of just above 187,747 arrivals per day from October 1 to 4. The Chinese mainland remains the dominant feeder market for this peak period for Macau casinos.

New Single-Day Records Set

Arrivals hit 210,325 on October 4, marking a new record for single-day totals since official Golden Week statistics have been kept. The prior day produced 191,702 arrivals, which itself exceeded the previous record of 191,176. China’s State Council set this year’s holiday from October 1 to 7.

Checkpoint volumes for the four days were led by the Border Gate with 355,199 arrivals, followed by Hengqin at 163,189 and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge at 104,057. Macao Government Tourism Office figures for the first three days identified 467,348 visitors from mainland China and 51,423 from Hong Kong.

Year-on-Year Context and Sector Read

This year’s October Golden Week holiday season is one day shorter than the same period in 2025. Last year, the break was from October 1 to 8, and Macau welcomed just above 1.14 million visitors, according to MGTO data. The early record numbers arrive against that compressed schedule. The full seven-day outcome will clarify whether the shortened break sustains comparable momentum for operators dependent on this festive window.
