IFT to rent out Nam Van space, close down café

The privatisation of the café run by the Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT) next to Nam Van Lake has taken a step forward, the city’s Official Gazette has announced. A dispatch in the Official Gazette advises that the President of the Institute for Tourism Studies, Fanny Vong Chuk Kwan, has been authorised by the Secretary of Social Affairs and Culture, Alexis Tam Chon Weng, to rent out two units in the area, namely S7 and S8, to two separate companies: Café New Green View and Estabelecimento de Comidas Seek Your Choice. Both companies already have other operations in the MSAR.
The decision for the shop to no longer be run under IFT was disclosed last year, with the group opening a public tender for the properties which “received some offers” but had yet to announce any winners of the tender.
So far, no timeline is in place for the handover of the shops.
