According to the “Macau Daily” report, some media are concerned regarding whether mainland experts such as academician Zhong Nanshan have proposed a good plan for Macao to continue to insist on “dynamic zeroing”. Macau Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng said that “dynamic zeroing” must be persisted. If you don’t waver, there will be no good plan anywhere. With the current global outbreak, many tourists will come if Macau is not fully opened. He admitted frankly that even in the glorious past, Macau relied on mainland tourists. The prevention and control work has now grasped the rules and experience. The epidemic situation at the end of October subsided quickly, and the source of the recent epidemic situation was also quickly identified and easily resolved.
As for when Hong Kong tourists will be allowed to visit Macau without quarantine, He Yicheng said that the Hong Kong market is very important to Macau. Macau has never been closed. At present, more than 150 Hong Kong people take Jinba to Macau every day. Whether more Hong Kong people will visit Macau following the “5+3” from the Mainland depends on the capacity of the quarantined hotels. However, most of them are passing tourists rather than visiting Macau, so they will not be of great help to Macau’s tourism industry. He said that if Hong Kong tourists are really going to be opened up, it will be “0+0”, as before, otherwise it will not be opened. At present, Hong Kong keeps adding 5,000 to 6,000 new cases every day. The number is not low, which puts some pressure on Macau. The Macau government will follow the policy changes and hopes to have smooth customs clearance with Hong Kong as soon as possible.
