“We will shortly commence to recruit additional staff for Raffles and Andaz. At this point in time, we expect Raffles and Andaz to open in the second half of 2023,” said the company representative.
The person added: “Our initial priority is to staff up, for our existing resorts facilities. We’ve been actively working with the Macau government on our labour requirements. Galaxy Entertainment Group always prioritises locals.”
In late April, Galaxy Entertainment had affirmed that Raffles would not open by the time of the five-day Labour Day festivities – a holiday on the Chinese mainland – ending on Wednesday. Raffles at Galaxy Macau is due to have 450 suites. Andaz Macau is to have 700 rooms and suites, according to corporate information.
Galaxy Macau Phase 3 also features the Galaxy International Convention Center. It has been operational since the middle of April, when it hosted its first corporate sales convention, and then a concert by K-pop boy band Treasure on April 22, according to company information.
