Macao is known for its tourism and gaming industry. It is small in size, densely populated, and connected to Mainland China with a tremendous number of visitors every year. This paper presents the travel characteristics in Macao. Part of the results is based on the household travel survey completed in 2009, which is the first travel characteristics survey to collect the attributes, preferences, and behavior of travelers. Some unique characteristics in the transportation system including cross-border travels and tourism are also discussed. The findings will enrich our understanding of travel characteristics in a small and tourism-oriented city.
