Chief Executive of Macau<\/strong><\/em>, Ho Iat Seng, none of the city’s six gaming concessionaires have agreed to offer hotel facilities for assisting the quarantined people.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInstead, the authorities could get the contribution of eight hotels: Pousada Marina Infante, Golden Crown China Hotel, Regency Art Hotel, Grand Coloane Resort, Treasure Hotel, Metropole Hotel, Grand Lapa Hotel and the two-star guest house San Tung Fong Commercial Inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe keep looking for more hotels to be appointed quarantine venues but we can\u2019t contact any hotels within integrated resorts,\u201d the Chief Executive said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to utilise hotels in integrated resorts until the last minute since it would impact their dining and business operations, but it\u2019s really difficult to find more available hotels at this moment”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe previously shut down the gaming industry for 15 days, and the six gaming operators guaranteed to continue paying their employees during this period. They also donated many face masks and supplies for the government and many social associations. We\u2019d really appreciate this contribution from the six gaming operators\u201d, added, but then asked for more commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe operators should reconsider what is the true corporate social responsibility (CSR),\u201d he said. \u201cCSR is not only about publicity in newspapers or donating several supplies to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen the entire society encounters challenges, we should take and share more responsibilities together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the current law in Macau allows the government to requisition hotels in the case of emergencies, the Chief Executive does not want to exercise the government\u2019s authority unless absolutely necessary and has urged operators to support the government voluntarily instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt would be much easier if we could find a hotel with 3,000 rooms. We pay for the fees, we don\u2019t ask to use them for free,\u201d he stated. \u201cWhat the gaming operators have done, Macau residents see in their eyes and keep in their minds.\u201d
