2019年访澳旅客人数再创新高,达到3940。62万人次,较上年增长10。1%。持续增长的旅客数量也给澳门带来了新的压力,“征收旅客税之可行性”的调查结果反映出澳门社会各界希望减少旅客数量与保持经济增长的矛盾心态。虽然港珠澳大桥和轻轨氹仔线为澳门旅游休闲业增添了新亮点,但是在香港“修例风波”和2020年初突如其来的新冠疫情的巨大冲击下,澳门旅游休闲产业可持续发展的问题再次引发人们的思考。空间狭小与“过度旅游”、产品单一、供给不足、国际客源少、过度依赖博彩业等深层次问题仍然未得到解决,而区域旅游休闲产业合作的成效也不明显。面对长期困扰澳门旅游休闲业发展的空间性、结构性问题以及当前疫情防控常态化趋势,一方面,澳门应继续加强疫情防控,有步骤地恢复通关,加快推动旅游业复苏;另一方面,长远而言,政府有关部门及社会各界应深刻思考突发性疫情给澳门旅游休闲产业乃至经济社会带来的巨大影响,积极探索完善重大公共危机处理机制,升级产业发展模式,丰富旅游产品供给,加快推动智慧城市建设,并通过将自由港延伸至横琴岛,与横琴共建共享世界旅游休闲中心,实质性推进区域旅游合作,拓展发展空间,优化产业结构,实现澳门旅游休闲业的可持续发展。
<<The number of visitors to Macau in 2019 reached a new record of 39.4062 million,an increase of 10.1% over the previous year. The increasing number of tourists has also put new pressure on the city. The survey results of “tourist tax” reflect the ambivalent attitude of Macau society towards the number of tourists and economic growth. Although the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Taipa light rail have added new highlights to Macau’s tourism,the issue of sustainable development of Macau tourism and leisure industry has once again reminded people to re-think under the huge impact of “the Extradition Law Protest” of Hong Kong and the COVID-19 epidemic in early 2020. The narrow space and deep-seated problems such as excessive tourism,single tourist product,insufficient supply,few international tourists and excessive reliance on gambling remain unchanged,while the effect of regional cooperation in tourism and leisure industry seems not obvious. In such a situation of spatial and structural problems and the normalized trend of epidemic prevention,Macau should continue to strengthen epidemic prevention and control on the one hand,and apply for reopening the ports between Macau and inner cities step by step,which can help to speed up the tourism recovery on the other hand. In the long run,the relevant government departments and all sectors of society should think deeply about the huge impact of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic on Macau’s tourism and leisure industry,and actively explore major crisis management mechanism,upgrade the mode of industry development,enrich tourism products supply,accelerate the development of intelligent city,and through extended free port system,Macau will co-construct and share the world tourism leisure center with Hengqin,which can substantively promote regional tourism cooperation,expand development space,optimize industrial ecology and achieve sustainable development.
