More than 100,000 visitors arrived in the former Portuguese city each day on Saturday and Sunday, local media reported, citing government statistics, up from 60,000 a day recorded in previous days. Coco Li, a 42-year-old woman from Hubei province who was visiting with her husband, said they chose to come to Macau because travel rules had relaxed.
Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd 0027.HK said its Raffles hotel would open in the second half of 2023, a delay from earlier plans to open in the first half.
