Alipay Tap! services expand in Macao, available at over 1,000 merchant stores, aiming for Macao-wide coverage in the future
With Chinese New Year approaching, Macao is seeing a surge in visitors from the Chinese mainland. The Macao Government Tourism Office expects an average of 185,000 visitors per day during the Chinese New Year holiday and anticipates as many as 39 million visitors for the entire year. To celebrate the Chinese New Year travel season, Alipay and Macau Pass have expanded their partnership, bringing Alipay Tap! to more commercial districts and tourist attractions across Macao. This provides visitors with a more convenient payment and better consumer experience. Since the pioneer launch of Alipay Tap! at Sands Resorts Macao on January 14th, the service has expanded to cover over 1,000 merchant stores in Macao, spanning restaurants, retail, tourist attractions, and more, making it easier for tourists to shop across Macao. Alipay Tap! is also available at popular tourist destinations, including the Ruins of St. Paul's, Rua da Cunha, and Portas do Cerco, as well as key commercial areas, enabling tourists to make payments easily while enjoying travelling.
