Recently, according to the data of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Border Inspection Station, in 2023, the number of inbound and outbound passengers through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will exceed 16.3 million, and the number of inbound and outbound vehicles will exceed 3.26 million, an increase of 1.29 times compared with 2019. This data fully demonstrates the status of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge as an important transportation hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and also reveals the strong demand for cross-border tourism market.
It is understood that Hong Kong and Macao tourism has become the main type of passenger flow to promote the rapid growth of the number of people entering and exiting the port. In 2023, more than 2.5 million mainland tour groups will travel through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. This data shows that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has become a popular "check-in place" for cross-border tour groups in the mainland.
In addition, more than 9.927 million Hong Kong and Macao residents entered and exited the Mainland via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge during the year, accounting for nearly 61% of the total inbound and outbound passenger flows, a record high. This phenomenon shows that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has greatly facilitated the travel of residents of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and further promoted the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The person in charge of the border inspection station of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge said: "The 'southbound' passenger flow has resumed, the 'northbound' passenger flow is more prosperous, and the phenomenon of 'port fever' is obvious, especially during weekends and public holidays, the single-day entry and exit passenger flow record of the port has been refreshed many times, reaching a maximum of 115,000 passengers in a single day, refreshing the highest record since the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge for more than five years." ”
The Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as the only designated port for "Macao cars going north" and "Hong Kong cars going north", has also ushered in rapid growth in the flow of inbound and outbound vehicles. In 2023, the port will refresh the highest number of vehicles entering and exiting the port in a single day for 20 consecutive times, with a maximum of more than 17,000 vehicles per day. Among them, the number of "Hong Kong cars going north" and "Macao cars going north" exceeded 1.395 million during the year, accounting for more than 40% of the total traffic volume.
It is worth mentioning that in 2023, the cross-border logistics of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will also usher in high growth, with more than 574,000 trucks entering and exiting through the Zhuhai Highway Port during the year, a year-on-year increase of more than 25% and 6.4 times that of 2019. This further proves that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge plays a pivotal role in improving the logistics efficiency of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
To sum up, since the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the flow of inbound and outbound passengers has continued to grow, especially hitting a new high. This is due to the geographical advantages of the bridge connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the continuous expansion of demand for cross-border tourism and logistics. It is foreseeable that in the future, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will continue to play an important role in promoting the prosperity and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
