Tourism consumption in Macau propels economic growth by stimulating domestic and external demand，which is an important means to activate the special economic zone and economic development. The linkage effects are remarkable. The consumption level of tourists bottomed out in the first three quarters of 2016，giving positive growth for the first time since the current economic adjustment. The mainland tourists remain the main force of consumption as their per capita consumption appears to be much higher than others，scoring an indispensable role in boosting consumption. This paper reviews the status quo of Macau tourists’ consumption（excluding the gaming industry）in 2016，analyzes the related reasons，discusses the factors that restrict the development of tourist consumption and puts forward the corresponding solutions. Macau should face up to the shortage of the existing tourism consumption supply mode，dovetail with the national top-level strategic design，and actively take the appropriate strategies to achieve sustainable growth.
