Hotels in Macau’s casino resorts posted a 91.6 percent occupancy rate despite the surge of hotel room supply in the Asia’s premier gaming hub.

Latest data from the Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) show that hotel occupancy in the former Portuguese enclave notched a 6 percent year-on-year increase. The city’s hotel occupancy rate was 3.5 percent higher compared to November’s data.

A local, three-star hotel posted a 96.5 occupancy rate – the highest of all hotels in Macau. According to the data, it is a 6.3 percent increase compared to 90.2 per cent registered in the same month last year.

However, 5-star hotels saw the greatest annual growth, up 7.4 percentage points to 90.1 per cent, compared to 82.7 per cent in November last year.
