Implications

y Results show that visitors from Taiwan and S E Asia stay the longest  and more of them among those who appear to be unlikely to  revisit Macau.  However, the trend shows that the former has an  d h b h l h l h increase interest to attend the MICE business while the latter has  an interest to visit world heritage attractions. It would be beneficial  to putting more effort in promoting the MICE business and world  heritage activities to meet their interest accordingly.  y As per the current trend in tourism activities by overall visitors,  there is a potential to diversify the tourism activities by increasing  effort to promote shows and concerts because there is a steady  growth in the year on year trend especially among visitors from growth in the year‐on‐year trend especially among visitors from  Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, China.

and the industry should work together to develop more 

attractions so as to retain this market.

Relatively, non‐FIT visitors stay longer than FIT visitors, but 

about 10% of them are unlikely to visit Macau again.  There is 

a need to attract them by diversifying tourism activities in
