By 菲尔 -20年2021月XNUMX日
In light of the continued uncertainty regarding international travel and the viability of in-person events due to the ongoing pandemic, the Board of the European Casino Association announces the cancellation of this year’s European Dealer Championship (Monte-Carlo, October 4 to 8) and ECA Industry Forum (Vienna, November 31 to December 3), with both events postponed until 2022.
虽然目前无法提供固定日期，但 ECA 向会员保证欧洲经销商锦标赛将于 2022 年 2022 月/XNUMX 月回归，随后 ECA 行业论坛将于 XNUMX 年 XNUMX 月/XNUMX 月举行。
“Health and safety have always been our top priority and the continued uncertainty created by the pandemic makes the postponement of our in-person events the prudent decision. We needed to put down our foot and make this decision now considering the scale of these events and the efforts that are going into organizing and executing them”, comments ECA Chair, Per Jaldung. “While we regret the cancellations this year, we look forward to the prospect of EU-wide vaccination programmes lifting current travel restrictions to enable us to reunite with our members in 2022.”
ECA秘书长Hermann Pamminger补充道：“ECA经销商锦标赛本着良性竞争的精神汇聚了欧洲各地最优秀的经销商，而行业论坛则是行业利益相关者、供应商和研究人员的一次特殊聚会，以庆祝这项业务的协作性质。我们相信，随着行业从大流行中复苏并寻求应对‘新’未来的挑战，这些事件在 2022 年将比以往任何时候都更加重要。”
New dates will be communicated as soon as available. The European casino sector has been hard hit by a combination of mandatory closures and national lockdowns due to the pandemic. In 2020, European casinos were closed for an average of 136 days. To date, the majority of European casinos remain closed.
