IAG OCT 2020年10月 亞博匯 59 焦點關注 three key subsidiaries – Sun Entertainment Culture, Sun Travel and Sun Food and Beverage – supporting the travel and leisure pursuits of its high-end clients. Established in 2011, Sun Entertainment Culture is involved in the production, planning and management of films, concerts and exhibitions with a catalogue boasting more than 65 films under its belt. Sun Travel describes itself as an “all-round service platform for global tourism” offering tailor- made trips for its guests to locations around the world, while Sun Food and Beverage operates eight restaurants in Macau and another eight in Chengdu and Chongqing, mainland China. In response to recent rumors that Suncity was facing a cash shortage due to pressures brought about by COVID-19, CEO Alvin Chau revealed evidence to the contrary in July of this year via a public statement in which he provided images of Suncity Group bank statements. They showed that Suncity VIP Club recognized at the time a total amount of fiscal reserve of HK$10.58 billion (US$1.36 billion) and had “cash flows in cage” to be used in the daily operation of the Suncity VIP Club of HK$18.6 billion (US$2.40 billion). It also had total deposits of HK$16.5 billion (US$2.13 billion) in two Macau banks.
