Macau’s casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) for the first 15 days of February was a case of “so far, so bad, as expected”, with visitor numbers “dismal”, said a Tuesday note from JP Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Ltd. Separately, a memo the same day from brokerage Sanford C. Bernstein Ltd stated: “Macau GGR declined during the second week of February and the beginning of the Lunar New Year, with travel from China continuing to drop due to rising Covid[-19] contagion in the country.” Mainland China is currently the only place to have a largely quarantine-free travel bubble with Macau.
