Originally scheduled to be held in May, G2E Asia at The Venetian Macao had already been postponed twice – first until July then again to December – while G2E Asia @ the Philippines was due to be held on 3 and 4 November. The organizers revealed on 13 August that both have now been canceled completely for 2020. “G2E Asia made the difficult decision to postpone its 2020 shows as continued travel and commercial restrictions present too much uncertainty for holding successful and safe events this year,” said Josephine Lee, Chief Operating Officer of Reed Exhibitions China. “In consultation with our customers, exhibitors and local authorities, we explored every option to safely hold these programs this year, but ultimately found the best course of action is to postpone for 2021. “By shifting our focus to 2021, we can ensure that we meet the high expectations for these important events that we share with our valued attendees and exhibitors.” 主辦機構勵展博覽集團及美國博彩協會 宣佈，由 於新冠肺炎導致的持續環球旅遊限制，決定取消 「亞洲國際娛樂展」及「亞洲國際娛樂展—菲律 賓」。 原定於5月在澳門威尼斯人舉行的亞洲國際 娛樂展，已先後兩度延遲至7月及12月；亞洲國際 娛樂展—菲律賓則原定於11月3日至4日舉行。 主辦機構在8月13日的公告中表示，兩項活 動將不再於2020年舉行。 勵展博覽集團大中華區首席運營官李雅儀 表示：「亞洲國際娛樂展作出這個推遲2020年展 會的艱難決定，是由於持續的旅遊及其他限制為 在今年內成功地舉行安全的活動帶來太多不確 定性。」 「在諮詢了我們的客戶、參展商及地方當局 後，我們亦曾經探討過所有能夠在今年內安全地 舉行這些活動的方法，但最後發現最好的選擇還 是推遲至2021年舉行。」 「通過把我們的焦點轉移至2021年，我們可 以保證能夠滿足我們的寶貴參加者及參展商共 同對於這些重要活動的遠大期望。」
