Macau saw a surge of visitors during the annual Golden Week holiday period, although the average visitor may not have been gambling as much as they used to.

Figures released Monday by the Macao Government Tourist Office show 1.15m tourists descending on Macau during the Oct. 1-7 period, an 8% increase over last year’s holiday.

Mainland Chinese accounted for 970k (84%) of the total visitors, up 6.9% from last year. Taiwan and Hong Kong residents posted even stronger year-on-year gains, rising 15.7% and 12.5%, respectively. All told, what the official media refers to as ‘Greater China’ accounted for 95.5% of Macau’s holiday traffic.

Macau’s 37,627 hotel and rentable apartment rooms enjoyed a 92.3% occupancy rate, 5.1 points higher than Golden Week 2015, helped in part by reductions in three-star and two-star room rates.
