‘Family hostel’ study to be released year-end

The city’s first official study on the feasibility of the ‘family hostel’ concept is expected to be released by the end of the year, director of Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes told media. The government is now studying the legal framework for the possibility of licensing this new category of hotel accommodation, which is conceived as a kind of family-run, bed-and-breakfast hotel. The MGTO head reiterated that public perception about this new type of accommodation is more important than the ‘technical aspects’ of licensing this type of hostel.
