Cambodia opens new airport to serve Angkor Wat as it seeks to boost tourist arrivals_我的网站

A | PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Commercial operations began Monday at Cambodia’s newest and biggest airport, designed to serve as an upgraded gateway to the country’s major tourist attraction, the centuries-old Angkor Wat temple complex in the northwestern province of Siem Reap.A Bangkok Airways flight from Thailand was the first to land, with 16 additional flights scheduled for the first day of operations at the Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport.The airport, which was built at a cost of about $1.1 billion on 700 hectares (1,730 acres) of land about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Angkor Wat, boasts a 3,600-meter (11,810-foot) long runway. Construction began in 2020 to replace the old airport, about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the temple site, which is being retired in part because of fear that vibrations from frequent flights were damaging the temples’ foundations.The new airport can handle 7 million passengers a year, with plans to augment it to handle 12 million passengers annually from 2040. It was constructed under a 55-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) program between Cambodia and China. According to the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia received some 3.5 million international tourists in the first eight months of 2023, while for the whole of 2019 — the last year before the coronavirus pandemic — it received some 6.6 million foreign visitors. Tourism is considered one of the main pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy.Deputy Prime Minister Vongsey Vissoth, who headed the ceremony marking the start of operations, said the new airport will be officially inaugurated on Nov. 16 by Prime Minister Hun Manet and top Chinese officials.Another Chinese-funded airport is being constructed at a cost of $1.5 billion to serve the capital Phnom Penh. The new Phnom Penh international airport, formally known as the Techo International Airport, is set on 2,600 hectares (6,425 acres) and scheduled for completion in 2024.。 Peacock 的订阅价格将再次上涨。从 8 月 18 日起，新订阅用户或回归订阅者的价格将率先上调，现有订阅者的资费则将于 9 月 17 日起增加。具体价格调整如下：包含广告的 Peacock Premium 档位将调整为每月 12.99 美元（此前为 10.99 美元）；Peacock Premium Plus 档位将调整为每月 19.99 美元（此前为 16.99 美元）；价格最低但限制最多的 Peacock Select 档位将调整为每月 8.99 美元（此前为 7.99 美元）。这是该平台四年内的第四次涨价，上一次调价是在去年夏天。这一调价时机颇为耐人寻味，因为康卡斯特（Comcast）在最近的财报中表示，Peacock 历史上首次实现了盈利。但显然这还不够，价格依然再次上涨。不过这并不令人意外，各大流媒体平台都在不断上调价格，尽管这令用户感到非常沮丧。不过，这其中也有一个潜在的好处：Peacock Premium 将于 2027 年初加入 YouTube Premium，且无需额外费用。如果你经常使用 YouTube 或已经是 YouTube Premium 的订阅者，这可能比单独订阅 Peacock 更有价值。
