July and August are the peak periods for tourists visiting Macau and Macau residents traveling. According to statistics from the Macau SAR Public Security Police Department, the number of inbound tourists to Macau reached 7.68 million from July to August this year, with an average of 123000 daily visitors and a peak of 195000 daily visitors. According to statistics, from July to August this year, there were 41.01 million people entering and exiting various ports in Macau, with an average of 661000 people per day. The highest daily number of people entering and exiting reached 832000, an increase of 8.5% and 21.4% respectively compared to the same period last year and 2019 before the epidemic. The relevant immigration management departments in Macau have anticipated a significant increase in passenger flow during this summer vacation and have confidence in ensuring fast and smooth customs clearance. ”Wu Suping, Deputy Director of the Macau SAR Public Security Police, pointed out that confidence comes from the successive introduction of multiple convenient customs clearance measures, ensuring good customs clearance order at various ports in Macau. The implementation of a series of new measures, such as the expansion of the applicable population of the "cooperative inspection self-help channel", the use of iris for customs clearance by qualified Hong Kong permanent residents, the free entry of qualified foreigners at the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge port, and the registration of new Brazilian, German, French, Malaysian and Spanish nationals to use Macao's traditional self-help channel, has effectively improved the efficiency of customs clearance. As of August 24th, the cumulative number of people entering and leaving Macau this year has exceeded 150 million, 23 days earlier than last year. With the accelerated development of Qin'ao integration, the number of customs clearance personnel at Hengqin Port increased rapidly in the first eight months of this year, reaching 18.99 million, a year-on-year increase of 33.5%. In the face of the continuous increase in customs clearance passenger flow at various ports, the Macau SAR Public Security Police Department stated that it will continue to improve customs clearance efficiency through technological empowerment, such as increasing iris channels and expanding the applicable population of self-service channels. At the same time, we will collaborate with Zhuhai Border Inspection Station and Hong Kong Immigration Department to develop more convenient customs clearance measures, jointly forecast and warn of passenger flow at ports, strengthen emergency response capabilities, create a convenient and safe customs clearance environment, promote personnel exchanges, and assist in the integrated development of cities in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
