While casinos have since opened, they are not doing brisk business like before and it could be many months before Macau\u2019s casinos return to normal.<\/p>\n<p>International travel across the world has taken a big hit and this has also impacted Macau\u2019s casinos. Macau depends heavily on casino tourism and gets the majority of its tourists from Mainland China. However, millions of tourists from all over the world also show up at Macau mainly to see the casinos and test their luck.<\/p>\n<p>Macau\u2019s tourism industry needs to pick up before Macau\u2019s casinos can start to return to normal. <strong>Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes<\/strong>, who is the director for the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) said that a vaccine passport program will go a long way to boost tourism in the peninsula. <\/p>\n<p>Fernandes said that the Covid vaccine passport program is proving to be popular in a number of countries who are currently experimenting with the program. She said that they were in contact with the government of China who is looking to implement this system shortly. China will not refer to this process as a vaccine passport program but will instead refer to it as an international travel health certificate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arirang News<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1MzhZTE9K1I?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Vaccine Passport Will Give Patrons Confidence<\/h2>\n<p>Fernandes said that a government run vaccine passport program will give people in both Mainland China and other countries the confidence and assurance that they could travel to Macau without having to worry about COVID-19. She said such <a href=\"https:\/\/royalsociety.org\/news\/2021\/02\/12-challenges-for-vaccine-passports\/\">a vaccine passport<\/a> would also help in reducing the number of imported COVID cases.<\/p>\n<p>Mainland China and Macau currently have a travel bubble that allows people to travel between the two locations. Macau still demands for all visitors to submit a Covid-19 test certificate which has a 7 day validity period. <\/p>\n<p>A lot of Mainland China residents continue to avoid Macau due to fear of contracting COVID-19. There is no indication as to when the vaccine passport program will be rolled out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Macau which is the biggest gambling hub in the world depends heavily on its casino tourism industry.
