Mandarin Oriental chief pushes for execs to temporarily relocate from Hong Kong
豪华酒店集团文华东方掌门人要求高管在香港以外的地区办公
香港遵循大陆的新冠“清零”战略并严格限制国际旅行,限制了豪华酒店集团文华东方(Mandarin Oriental)香港业务从疫情中的复苏。其负责人目前要求他的高管团队暂时在香港以外的地区办公。
The head of the Mandarin Oriental luxury hotel group is pushing for his executive team to be temporarily based outside Hong Kong, saying the isolated city has become a “very poor” base as a result of strict coronavirus restrictions.
The $2.7bn group is majority owned by Jardine Matheson, one of Hong Kong’s oldest business empires, and operates hotels and properties in more than 20 countries. But the recovery of its Hong Kong business from the pandemic has been constrained by the city’s decision to follow Beijing’s “zero Covid” strategy and severely limit international travel.
