    Fuel prices surge / "Asian flush" study / Digital gap for the elderly / HK Express moving to Terminal 2

    On this programme, we talked to a representative from the transport industry about fuel surcharges. Escalation in the Middle East conflict has propelled global crude oil prices to heights not seen in years. Will airlines and public transportation in Hong Kong be able to weather the storm, or will measures be needed to moderate prices?
    We then learned more from a City University professor about the so-called "Asian glow", and how his team's new study may provide a possible explanation behind the condition that affects about 40 percent of the population in East Asia.
    Following the break, we talked about the digital divide between the older and younger generation, after a recent survey on the SAR's digital literacy was conducted. 
    And we wrapped up the show with a conversation talking to the COO of HK Express about the upgrades at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 2.

    Eco-tourism development plans / Macau policy address

    Presenters:Raymond Yeung and Mike Rowse

    On Tuesday’s Backchat, we discussed eco-tourism development in Hong Kong.

    Authorities have invited interested parties to submit development proposals for eco-tourism sites across the territory, including the former Lamma quarry site, Tsim Bei Tsui, and Pak Bak in the future Northern Metropolis. Plans include the construction of low-density luxury housing and a marina, in an effort to enhance Hong Kong’s appeal as a coastal destination.

    Developers have until July 2 to express their interest. How much potential does Hong Kong have in becoming a prime eco-tourism destination, and what more needs to be done to facilitate its development?

    After 9:30, we talked about Macau's latest policy address.


    9:05am-9:30am: Eco-tourism development blueprint
    9:05am-9:15am: Christine Au, Principal Assistant Secretary (Planning & Lands), Development Bureau
