“Operating hours and maximum capacity across our attractions, restaurants and facilities are being continuously adjusted according to government guidelines.”
The statement continued: “With the rollout of Covid vaccines giving hope, it is expected that the vaccines are likely to ease various kinds of restrictions in the foreseeable future. However, at the present time, we are still facing difficulties in anticipating the material development of Covid-19 and a wide range of public policies to be introduced globally and regionally, especially the travel restrictions, which could significantly affect our core businesses.”
