乌拉圭——乌拉圭可以通过游轮赌场掀起波澜
By 菲尔 -6年2019月XNUMX日
The governing party of Uruguay (Frente Amplio) has decided to put forward a law emitted by the Executive Power in 2017 which would allow casinos in cruise ships to operate while they are moored in Uruguayan territorial waters.
该文本于 2017 年 XNUMX 月首次提出，得到了旅游部、波多黎各国家管理局 (ANP) 和赌场总局的支持。
The law is once again garnering support according to local daily El País as the topic was included for the agenda for the Commission for Industry, Energy, Commerce, Tourism and Senate Services in July. Senator Yerú Pardiñas said that he supported the initiative because the authorisation of casinos is “on restricted hours and exclusively for (use) of passengers on board.” The President of the Commission, Sandra Lazo, also gave her support to the new project while Senator Álvaro Delgado said that he was surprised that the project was resurfacing now. Finally, the senators agreed to study the subject at the Commission and to call to the authorities of the Ministry of Tourism, the ANP and the National Directorate of Casinos to hear their comments on the draft law over the upcoming sessions.
据旅游部长 Liliam Kechichián 称，2018 年 2019 月至 146 年 256,000 月期间，有 200 艘游轮抵达蒙得维的亚和埃斯特角城，超过上一季，接待游客 2019 人次。 2020-XNUMX 年旅游季预计约有 XNUMX 艘游轮。
2017 年 XNUMX 月，乌拉圭国家水道测量部主任卡洛斯·卡马尼奥（Carlos Camaño）首次告诉媒体，正在制定一项法案，允许游轮上的赌场在抵达时保持开放。该部门负责监督港口活动并维护和开发当地水道。在蒙得维的亚的港口和大西洋度假胜地埃斯特角城。新法律还将允许游轮停留更长时间，从而增加乌拉圭的游客支出。
The closing of casinos in cruise ships while docked in Uruguayan harbours is one of the reasons why they have in the past only stayed for a few hours in Uruguay he said. The law would encourage passengers to spend more in Uruguay and also encourage visitors to explore Uruguay more extensively.
