Vietnam.- Authorities have allowed\u00a0Intercontinental Grand Ho Tram<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0accept domestic guests from September 15<\/strong>\u00a0as the local Covid-19 situation continues to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All guests must be fully vaccinated within the past 12 months. They will also be required to undergo Covid testing on the first, sixth, and 13th days and must not leave the facility.\u00a0Employees will stay on-site and must have received at least the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine<\/strong> 14 days before starting work. They will be tested every 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intercontinental Grand Ho Tram\u00a0<\/strong>is located on the southern coast of Vietnam and it does not allow locals to gamble in its casino.\u00a0Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism facilities in the province have been closed since June. The hotel’s casino will remain closed since it cannot be used by locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At present, Vietnamese citizens are only permitted to enter two casinos:<\/strong> one on the southern island of Phu Quoc and the other in Van Don, in the northern province of Quang Ninh. However, many citizens also hold overseas passports<\/strong>, giving the casino a solid base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In March,\u00a0casino operators<\/a>\u00a0asked the government to expand\u00a0Vietnamese citizens\u2019 access to casinos<\/strong>\u00a0in major tourist destinations such as\u00a0Quang Nam and Ba Ria-Vung Tau<\/strong>\u00a0to help casinos face the loss of revenue from tourists owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.\u00a0However,\u00a0the government\u00a0has said the\u00a0current scheme<\/a>\u00a0won\u2019t be expanded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Intercontinental Grand Ho Tram IR will allow local guests at hotel facilities from September 15.
