The flipside is that a 3.5% decline in Macau’s GGR in July was considerably below expectations, although there were a range of factors at play including the ongoing US-China trade war and heightened scrutiny on junkets following reports from Chinese media that online gaming and proxy betting was being offered to Chinese customers. For now at least, it appears the impact of the Hong Kong protests on Macau has been largely contained – but based on recent events it also appears there will be no end to the drama any time soon. 行估計，2019年赴澳門旅遊總人數將達到4100萬人次，其中只有 約18%來自香港（約70%來自中國內地）。就娛樂場收入而言，考 慮到中國內地遊客將帶來約85%的博彩收入，影響可謂更小。 從交通方式來看，摩根大通表示，12％至13％的內地遊客通 過香港前往澳門，其中8%至9%使用近期開通的港珠澳大橋，而 其餘4％至5%則搭乘渡輪。 然而「對博彩需求的影響應該低於對訪客的影響，因為： （1）那些目前使用港珠澳大橋的乘客只需取道深圳機場（輪渡直 達澳門約60分鐘）或珠海機場（距澳門50分鐘車程）便可避開香港 機場；（2）乘坐輪渡前往澳門的遊客往往是旅行團或（非常）低端 玩家。」 值得注意的是，示威者在香港機場「靜坐」的那一週，摩根大通 及Sanford C Bernstein皆估計澳門娛樂場的日均收入約為8.7億澳 門元——遠高於當月前兩週的日均7.90億澳門幣的收入。 另一方面，澳門的博彩總收入在七月下降了3.5%遠低於預 期，但當中有一系列的因素在起作用，包括正在進行的中美貿易 戰、及在內地媒體報道有人向中國客戶提供在線博彩及代理投注 服務之後對博彩中介人監管力度的加強。 至少目前而言，香港的示威活動對澳門的影響基本上得到了 遏制——但根據近期事態的發展，這場喧囂未必很快就會結束 。 Only 8% of visitors to Macau arrive via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. 僅有8%的訪澳遊客取道港珠澳大橋。
