Taiwan raises travel alert for Macau

The instability in the Taiwan Strait is starting to impact Macau’s tourism, as Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) announced on Thursday that it has raised its travel alert for China, Hong Kong, and Macau to the second-highest level, an orange alert.

This advisory urges Taiwanese citizens to avoid unnecessary travel to these regions due to growing safety concerns.
According to data from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC), Macau received 14.2 million visitor arrivals from January to May this year. Taiwan has long been the third-largest source market for Macau.
From January to May this year, Macau welcomed 89,047 tourists from Taiwan, accounting for 2.3 percent of the total visitor arrivals.
For the whole year of 2023, 508,489 Taiwanese citizens visited Macau.
