The 147,072 tourists who entered yesterday represent the highest number of visitors in a single day. On the 14th, there were 146,964; on Sunday, the 15th, there were 132,013. The figures from yesterday reinforce what was already anticipated as the most likely scenario. The 85,938 visitors registered on the 16th, a Monday, the third day and eve of the New Year, was indeed a statistical anomaly.
By midnight last night, February 17, the first day of the new Year of the Fire Horse, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, 511,987 visitors had entered Macau. This represents an average of nearly 128,000 visitors per day (127,996).
