Normal operations will resume by early next month, despite cleaning delays caused by Typhoon Hato last week and relatively weak tropical storm Parkar on Sunday.

The fact was revealed by Chanchi Kit, president of Macau's hotelier In-Keeper Association, who described some of the region's hotels as having "very serious damage" with broken windows.

"Because the city's attractions are still here, visitors will come. In addition, it is the end of summer vacation, so many people are preparing for the new school year after completing their trips. So, with fewer travelers coming, it helps ease the burden on hotels."

Typhoon Hato, which hit the region for the first time in 53 years, hit southern China on Aug. 23 with torrential rain and winds of up to 124 miles per hour. In response, several local casino resorts, including Sands Macao of Sands China Limited and Grand Lisboa Macao of SJM Holdings Limited, have suspended their hotel operations due to electricity and water shortages.

The stormy weather prompted the Macau government's tourism agency to urge foreign tourists to reconsider their upcoming trip to the Portuguese colony. Additional requests have been made to travel agencies to stop package travel to the city by the end of August.

The move could affect up to 6,000 local hotel rooms a day through Aug. 30, according to reports, but this is only a short-term consequence of the damage caused by recent inclement weather.

"If we take that into account, there will be an average of 300 tourists coming to Macau every day [in peak season] and about 30-40 people in each group, up to 12,000 tourists [affected by the suspension]." "If we assume that there are two people in each hotel room, this means that the occupancy of 6,000 rooms could be affected

Official figures from the city's Bureau of Statistics and Census report that Macau welcomed about 728,000 package travelers in August 2016. That's the equivalent of about 23,500 people a day, up 10.3% year over year out of about 3.8 million in the first six months.
