Macao tourist numbers have shot up in recent weeks, official figures show, but casino sales are sluggish as a typhoon threatens to disrupt transport to the region.
The total number of visitors to Macao since January 1 reached and surpassed the 20 million mark on June 20, according to Public Security Police figures. The surge in tourist numbers contrasts with the slow performance of casino sales, which are being impacted by the looming threat of a typhoon that could disrupt transportation in the area.
