領展(00823.HK)稱商場疫苗通行證採被動形式 料只需增少量人手 收緊防疫對租金收入有影響
政府早前公布進一步收緊社交距離措施,其中限聚令由四人收緊至兩人,並將商場、街市及百貨公司等納入表列處所,2月24日起需使用疫苗通行證。領展(00823.HK)較早時指若旗下物業所有出入口均需駐守保安員,大概需要額外增聘1,000人;若未能聘任足夠人手,或需要關閉部份商場出入口。
領展行政總裁王國龍在視像會議上表示,當時估算人手需求時未有如何檢查通行證等詳情,而食衛局其後有澄清商場及街市等人流較多場所採取被動形式,即市民出入時要使用安心出行,但沒有需要於入口檢查通行證,因此人手需求沒有之前估計的多,預期只需少量的人手增加。
他指,本港收緊防疫措施一定會影響租戶,對集團租金收入都會有影響,但旗下商場出租率一直維持在97%至98%的高水平,期望未來在租務上可持續吸引到優質租戶。
王國龍提到,過去兩年疫情期間領展一直有支持商戶,包括在租金優惠及增加推廣等方面,會繼續盡量支持租戶。領展首席策略總監丘兆祺補充指,由於今年1月開始禁上晚市堂食,商場人流的確有轉差,目前要視乎防疫措施收緊時間的長短,衡量對商戶的支援措施。(ek/u)
