Bélgica – La Asociación Europea de Casinos pospone eventos clave de la industria
By Phil - 20 de abril de 2021
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.
Si bien no se pueden proporcionar fechas fijas en este momento, la ECA asegura a sus miembros que el Campeonato Europeo de Distribuidores regresará en abril/mayo de 2022, seguido del Foro de la Industria de la ECA en septiembre/octubre de 2022.
“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.”
El Secretario General de la ECA, Hermann Pamminger, añadió: “El Campeonato de Distribuidores de la ECA reúne a los mejores distribuidores de toda Europa con un espíritu de competencia sana, mientras que el Foro de la Industria es una reunión especial para que las partes interesadas de la industria, los proveedores y los investigadores celebren la naturaleza colaborativa de este negocio. Creemos que estos eventos serán más importantes que nunca en 2022 a medida que la industria se recupere de la pandemia y busque abordar los desafíos del 'nuevo' futuro”.
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.
