With Laos lacking widespread health infrastructure and medical supplies, authorities decided to postpone the games to reduce the risk of an outbreak of Covid-19.
Head of the Guesthouse, Hotel and Restaurant Association in Xieng Khuang province, Siphay Noylabounsy, told Vientiane Times that members of the association would lose a lot of business due to the postponement of these two events.“Members of our association are feeling the impact of the postponement of the National Games because they had made a lot of preparations to receive visitors.”
“We haven’t had any actual reports from our members because they are still waiting to hear if there will be an announcement about new dates for the games and the Plain of Jars celebration, so we haven’t made a report on the issue to higher authorities, ” Siphay said. Manager of the Phouchan Resort in Paek district, Phan Somboutdy, said “Like other places of accommodation, we were expecting visitors during the National Games and have spent quite a lot of money to improve our facilities and services.”
