Abstract. 

Macao needs structural reforms to mitigate risks from external shocks

through appropriate economic diversification. GIS spatial analysis and multiple

regression methods were employed to explore the spatial clustering characteristics

of Macao's consumer service industry and the key factors influencing its economic

space. Results revealed a dual-core agglomeration pattern centered around

the Senado Square-Monte Forte section and the Cotai Strip, with hierarchical disparities:

Macao Peninsula > Cotai > Taipa > Coloane. Proximity to tourist attractions,

residential areas, and transportation hubs could boost economic vitality,

while road network density exerted a negative impact, and parking infrastructure

showed no significant effect.

Ouvido pelo jornal Ou Mun, o ex-deputado explicou que com a nova medida do Interior, milhões de pessoas de Zhuhai podem visitar semanalmente Macau. Por isso, Davis Fong diz que vai haver um consumo muito maior na Zona Norte, como afirmou ter acontecido em Hong Kong, antes da pandemia, quando as pessoas de Shenzhen foram autorizadas pelo Governo Central a ir à RAEHK mais vezes.
