As Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is one of the busiest airports and the government cannot possibly build new airport due to the area limitation of Hong Kong, the authority will build an additional runway (3rd runway), and it will impact to the airport operational costs. Finally, the Hong Kong Government will raise taxes to the airlines, and it will be a problem for HK Express as the only low-fare airline in Hong Kong.

A major problem with traffic among large cities is that their central business district is located too close to their airport or that the airport is in a location where there is only one major route to navigate there. The perfect location for this airport would be a few miles away from the central business district along the location where multiple highways along with the interstate intertwine; giving multiple entry points to the airports entrance. These highways will lead to different locations around the city where suburban areas are located giving the traveler multiple regions to easily navigate in the city upon

In the book “Hong Kong Cinema: Coloniser, motherland and self”, the author Yingchi Chu describes Hong Kong as “[a] ‘nation’ without sovereignty” (98). It is because of the unique and complicating historical experience that Hong Kong people have been going through since its early beginning. From the early time until before 1842, Hong Kong was considered to be a territory of China. In 1842, China officially ceded Hong Kong to the British after the First Opium War due to the rise of British’s power; and from that moment to 1997, Hong Kong had been remaining as a British’s colony and experiencing the very distinct cultural development and social changes. The year 1997 marked the

Hong Kong is a region of China that has a tumultuous past. It was colonized by the British, captured by Japan, given back to the British, and eventually losing its sovereignty to China. The people of Hong Kong are an interesting mixture of economic classes, races, religions, and opinion. Recently, they’ve been in the news due to their protests for the hope of democracy in the region. This paper is an examination of how globalization is affecting the people of Hong Kong, and how they are reacting to the changes that are presenting themselves to them. I’ll look at aspects such as immigration, environmental changes, and the importance of the global economy to the region.

I attended the Centre for the Study of Contemporary China’s annual conference because this year, their topic was curious for me especially with the result of the UNCLOS decision’s in China’s navigation on the Philippine sea. This year’s theme is US, China, and the International Law and the one I specifically attended about self-determination. With 2 speakers and one main commentator, I decided to focus on the Chinese speaker who was in China that time (conference via skype). His name is Xu Xiaobing from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. As this was my first time attending such scholarly conference I found it interesting how most of them were familiar with each other. I now understand what my professor for Reconciliation talks about, how you know book authors of the same topic because you often see each other, being invited in the same event and such.

The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre are spread over a large area and offers 30,000 square meters of space to exhibitors (SCEC, 2011). The SCEC consists of three large and spacious buildings that possess a large capacity to host events. The centre currently has six spacious exhibition halls that can provide space for more than 9,000 visitors (SCEC, 2011). The IFLA would find this more than sufficient for holding the 2015 international conference where the expected number of visitors would be ranging from around 3500 to 4500 visitors. The SCEC has

If the foreign exchange currency is appreciated like Singaporean Dollars, the delegates may choose a similar destination like Hong Kong for convention venue due to a lesser impact on opportunity cost.

The steps and tests which were run in order to get a clear picture of the demand and how the regional development has increased for the Hong Kong Airport in particular are in discussion here. The demand forecast for the year 2015 has also been included in this report using the appropriate moving average method. In a nut shell, a moving average (MA) is defined as a pattern indicator or slacking pointer in light of the fact that it is in view of past values. The two essential and regularly utilized MAs are the straightforward moving average (SMA), which is the basic average of a security over a characterized number of time periods, and the weighted moving average (WMA), which gives greater weight to later values. The most well-known

Traffic between the two countries through the Causeway and Second Link is estimated at 400,000 crossings both ways daily, and Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore figures show that an average of 7,500 people left Singapore for Malaysia daily by air last year, of which, say experts, about 6,000 were headed to Kuala Lumpur.3 This will mean that an extra 100000 commuters will be able to travel in both direction daily.The economic and social benefits derived from the agglomeration of 2 cities bring about a huge development potential.
