MACAU, CHINA

Located on the Pearl River Delta on the southern coastline of China’s Guangdong Province (China’s wealthiest, most urban and populous province).

Macau draws visitors from approximately ninety-five million residents of Guangdong and from the combined two billion residents of China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines located within an approximate four-hour flight from Macau.

An hour away via ferry from Hong Kong, a key transportation and visitor hub in the region and Asia’s third busiest airport after Tokyo and Beijing. Also lies in close proximity to many key Asian countries with favorable population and economic characteristics.

Macau visitors

China is the main source of Macau’s visitors, accounting for 50.6% of 2008 arrivals with Hong Kong accounting for a further 30.6% of 2008 arrivals.

Total visitors to Macau under China’s Individual Visit Scheme ("IVS") expanded at a CAGR of 61.8% from 2003 to 2008. Mainland China’s economic development, together with an increasingly affluent population, drive Macau’s economic growth.
