The Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) attended the “Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo 2016″ (AIME 2016) which ended Wednesday in Melbourne, Australia, in order to attract more conventions and exhibitions from the Asia-Pacific region to Macau.

Macau had 2.45 million visitors last month, 0.8 per cent fewer than a year earlier… 1.66 million of last month’s visitors were mainlanders.

Tourist arrivals totaled 2,445,876 in January 2016, down slightly by 0.8 percent year-on-year and down by 7.1 percent month-to-month… the number of overnight visitors has increased by 5.3 percent year-­on-year to 1,145,902… The average length of stay of visitors increased by 0.3 of a day year-on-­year, to 1.2 days

The “ultra-luxury” Louis XIII hotel expected to open later this year has been named “The 13.” … “As the business and the brand have developed, we felt that the name ‘The 13’ most accurately reflected our Macau hotel’s combination of Baroque inspiration and contemporary accents,” said co-chairman Stephen Hung… Of the ‘all-villa’ hotel’s 200 rooms, most will be Villa du Comte suites… Each of these rooms will be approximately 2,000 square feet.
