The Institute's response to the recent discussion about the study on Macao's Tourism Carrying Capacity
With regard to the recent discussion about the tourism carrying capacity of Macao and the related research conducted by the Institute for Tourism Studies, the Institute would like to take this opportunity to provide explanations on the concept of carrying capacity, research methodology, how to interpret the results, and policy recommendations.Tourism carrying capacity refers to the optimal number of visitors that a specific space (usually enclosed, such as a museum) can receive at a time without causing negative impact on the cultural and natural environment such as the architecture, heritage, the community, and visitors. However, there is a lack of literature on tourism carrying capacity of open and large spaces such as cities. Therefore, the Institute combined studies on “social and psychological carrying capacity” and “physical capacity of tourism facilities” in the research, to attempt at estimating the optimal tourism carrying capacity of Macao. Optimal tourism carrying capacity is a dynamic concept, which changes with the change in visitation volume, tourist behaviour, and the supply and demand of tourism infrastructure and products.
