The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao (KHZM) bridge continues to make a big difference to the tourism numbers of Macau. Macau’s Statistics and Census Service has reported that March’s visitor arrivals tallied up to 3.39 million, 24% higher year on year.

The breakdown of visitor statistics is also good news overall. Visitors who stayed in Macau overnight were up 9.1% year on year, and those just staying for a day or less were up 40.8%, indicating the ability to drive over the bridge for a few hours to check out the sights really helped numbers overall.

On average, tourists stayed for 1.2 days, which showed no change from the previous year.

Increasing the likelihood that the bridge really helped things, visitors from Mainland China were up 31.3%, and those visiting “by land” were up 62.4%. Specifically, the report notes that 504,000 used the bridge during the month of March.
