The city’s revenue from tourism increased by 13.3 percent last year, largely because of turnover at the casinos, according to the World Tourism Organisation.

Our sister publication Business Daily reports this morning that Macau generated almost as much money from tourism as the mainland.

The city posted tourism receipts, including gaming, of US$43.7 billion (MOP349 billion) last year, the fifth highest in the world.

Its tourism revenue is about 87.5 percent of what the mainland generated from tourism last year, about US$50 billion.
