The average occupancy rate of Macao’s hotel rooms in April 2025 was 87.8 percent, a 4.7 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024, according to figures from the Statistics and Census Service (known by its Portuguese initials DSEC).
The official occupancy rates for 5-star, 4-star and 3-star hotels were 90.9 percent, 82.4 percent and 84.4 percent respectively – somewhat less than the 93.5 percent, 88 percent and 96.5 percent occupancy rates cited by the Macau Hotel Association for April earlier this week. The association’s figures said the combined occupancy rate at these hotels was 92.6 percent for the month.
The DSEC’s statement noted that there were 147 hotel establishments offering accommodation services to the public at the end of April this year, an increase of 4 year-on-year. However, the total number of guest rooms dropped by 4.3 percent year-on-year, to 45,000.
