IAG SEP 2021年9月 亞博匯 15 LAUNCH OF GALAXY MACAU PHASE 3 DELAYED UNTIL 2022 「澳門銀河」三期將延至2022年推出 請登錄asgam.com訂閱《亞博匯早報》 Sign up to receive IAG Breakfast Briefing at asgam.com THE OPENING of Galaxy Macau Phase 3 has been postponed until 2022, with Galaxy Entertainment Group citing restrictions to workforce access due to COVID-19 for the delay. The latest addition to GEG’s flagship property, which is set to include the Galaxy International Convention Center, a number of new hotels plus more gaming and retail space, had been scheduled to open in late 2021. But GEG Vice Chairman Francis Lui told media during the company’s 2Q21 results announcement press conference that, pending government approvals, it was now aiming for an early 2022 launch. “Given the situation where the pandemic is still not under full control, it is very hard to determine the exact date of the opening, because the pandemic to a certain extent determines our access to building materials and workers coming to Macau,” said Lui. “Within our capabilities we are trying to manage it well and we hope that by early next year, part of the Phase 3 project can be commissioned and opened for business.” 銀河娛樂集團 表示，由於新冠疫情持續，員 工准入受限，澳門銀河三期項目將推遲至 2022年推出。 澳門銀河第三期擴建項目原計劃於 2021年推出，將包括銀河國際會議中心、部 分新酒店及額外的博彩及零售空間。 但銀娛副主席呂耀東在2021年第二季 度業績公告新聞發佈會上向媒體表示，目前 仍待政府批准，目標是待2022年初推出。 呂耀東表示，鑒於目前疫情尚未完全得 到控制，很難確定具體的開業日期，主要由 於疫情在一定程度上影響了獲得建材及招 聘建築工人進入澳門。 「我們正在能力範圍內努力將其做好。 希望到明年初，三期項目的部分可以投入使 用。」
