The tourism industry in China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) has welcomed the long-awaited mainland tourists during China's National Day holiday, although the tourists numbers and business performance from Thursday to Monday indicated this was a mild beginning of rebound.

Government departments of China's Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) are ready to embrace tourists during the country's National Day holiday, with a series of measures in place to ensure order and pandemic prevention, said local authorities Tuesday.

The number of visitor arrivals to Macao soared by 206.9 percent month-to-month to 227,113 in August this year, the special administrative region's statistic department said on Monday.

The city bears witness to the fusion of diverse cultures from the East and West. Its multicultural identity can be found in the Western and Chinese-style buildings lining in the city.

The SAR government said the EU report contains subjective and biased comments about Macao's achievements in politics, society and economic development.
