First question. Supply and Demand of University Student Hostel Places 1. MR ABRAHAM SHEK: President, it is learnt that in its report submitted to the Chief Executive in January this year, the Focus Group on Trade and Business (the Focus Group) of the Economic Summit on "China's 11th Five-Year Plan and the Development of Hong Kong" proposed that in order to attract more non-local students to study in the universities in Hong Kong, more hostel facilities should be constructed. Regarding the supply and demand of student hostel places at various universities, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether it has assessed the feasibility of the aforesaid proposal put forward by the Focus Group; (b) given that funding has already been earmarked for the hostel construction projects of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), of the timetable for the implementation of such projects; and (c) of the specific plan to meet the additional demand for hostel places arising from the increase in the number of university students after the implementation of the four-year undergraduate curriculum from the 2012-2013 academic year onwards? SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Madam President, (a) In the Report on Economic Summit on "China's 11th Five-Year Plan and the Development of Hong Kong", the Focus Group proposed that the Government should make "helping nurture talents and enlarge our talent pool, thereby raising the quality of our human capital" a policy direction at the national level for Hong Kong's development. The report pointed out that through attracting mainland students to study and work in Hong Kong, not only can LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 March 2007 4819 our education system help nurture mainland talents, but our local students and workforce will also benefit from the intellectual stimulation and healthy competition brought about by mainland students, thereby enhancing the quality of our talent pool as well as supporting and sustaining Hong Kong's competitiveness and long-term economic development. The Focus Group has invited the Steering Committee chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration to examine a number of proposals for developing Hong Kong into a regional education hub. One of the proposals is to provide non-local and exchange students with adequate boarding facilities. The Administration agrees that adequate facilities should be in place to support Hong Kong's development as a regional education hub. In fact, on top of what is being provided under the established policy, the Administration has earlier taken the initiative to provide the University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded sector with an additional 1 840 publicly-funded student hostel places to meet the accommodation needs of non-local and exchange students. The UGC has already allocated these places to the institutions, and the institutions are in the process of planning for the construction of these student hostels. The Steering Committee will certainly carefully consider the proposals made by the Focus Group when it examines the relevant issues. (b) The Administration has earmarked funding for the following plans to build student hostels: (1) the HKU's plan to build 1 800 publicly-funded hostel places at Lung Wah Street; (2) the CityU's plan to build 700 publicly-funded hostel places within its campus; and (3) CUHK's plan to build 1 500 hostel places within its campus. The HKU's and CUHK's proposals are expected to be submitted to the Public Works Subcommittee and the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council for funding approval in 2007, while the CityU is 4820 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 March 2007 still working on its proposal. Subject to funding approval of the Finance Committee, the new hostels of CUHK, the CityU and the HKU are expected to be completed and ready for occupation in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively. (c) It is estimated that the whole UGC-funded sector will require some 2 200 additional hostel places as a result of the implementation of the new "3-3-4" academic structure. Individual institutions have been planning actively with a view to meeting the additional hostel requirements. Indeed, some institutions have already submitted hostel project proposals which are supported by the UGC, and funding has been earmarked by the Administration.

Moreover, in this research I choose Cathay Pacific Airways Limited to see how to satisfy the customers’ need and want and build up a good relationship with the customers. As we know Cathay Pacific is one of the large airways in Hong Kong. And Cathay Pacific Airways Limited had established in 1946. In Hong Kong it has around 65 year’s histories. It pass through a long time still can exist in this industry, it must have something, it was doing very well. In the past Oasis Hong Kong Airlines had used low price to satisfy the customers’ need. However, after a few years it was gone bankrupt, at that moment Cathay Pacific still can exist without low price tickets. Cathay Pacific should satisfy the customers others need and want not only low price ticket so that it can exist for 65 years.

  • Low-Cost Long-Haul Carriers: a Hypothetical Analysis of a ‘Kangaroo Route’
    Low-cost long-haul carriers: A hypothetical analysis of a ‘Kangaroo route’ Author Whyte, Randall, Lohmann, Gui Published 2015 Journal Title Case Studies on Transport Policy Version Accepted Manuscript (AM) DOI https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cstp.2015.01.003 Copyright Statement © 2015, Elsevier.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/69183 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Low-cost long-haul carriers: a hypothetical analysis of a ‘Kangaroo route’ Abstract Given the success of short-haul, low-cost airlines in most regional markets, it was expected that low- cost airlines would next venture into long-haul markets; however, most attempts in the past decade have, like their predecessors, failed. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a long-haul, low- cost operation based on a hypothetical airline that operates between Melbourne (Australia) and London (UK) can achieve a cost advantage compared to full-service airlines, but this advantage is not as great as the difference between low-cost carriers that operate in short-haul markets compared to full-service airlines (FSAs). Research to date on concept of low-cost long-haul airline operations is limited, but it does acknowledge that the cost differential between low-cost airlines and full-service airlines in short-haul regional markets is not as strong in long-haul operations. Factors such as larger and more expensive aircraft; flight-operating conditions including fuel burn; congestion around busy airports; crew costs; airport charges at main airports; and marketing issues such as branding, advertising and distribution all combine as deterrents for low-cost carriers to enter long-haul markets.
