Hurricane Norma takes aim at Mexico's Los Cabos resorts, as Tammy threatens islands in the Atlantic_我的网站

A |     2024年上半年，樟宜机场共接待了3,301万名乘客，较2019年上半年的3,323万人次仅略有下降，恢复率达到99.3%。尽管整体客运量恢复良好，但游客人数的恢复率仅为92.6%，1月至6月期间抵达樟宜机场的旅客人数为664万人次，低于2019年同期的717万人次。

B |     CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico -- Residents of Mexico’s Los Cabos resorts rushed to prepare as Hurricane Norma headed toward the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula for an expected landfall Saturday, while in the Atlantic, Tammy grew into a hurricane and threatened to batter the islands of the Lesser Antilles. Businesses in Cabo San Lucas nailed up sheets of plywood over their windows and government personnel hung up banners warning people not to try to cross gullies and stream beds, after Hurricane Norma regained strength and once again became a major storm Friday.Baja California Sur Gov. Victor Manuel Castro urged people to stay at home.“Nobody should leave their house after six, seven in the evening," Castro said. "Nobody should go out.”In the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Tammy had winds of 80 mph (130 kph), and hurricane warnings were issued for the islands of Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, and St. Kitts and Nevis.The center said Norma had 120 mph (195 kph) maximum sustained winds and was centered about 145 miles (235 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas. The Category 3 storm was moving north-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph), and the center said its outer bands of rain were already reaching the Baja peninsula.Hotels in Los Cabos, which are largely frequented by foreign tourists, remained about three-quarters full and there was no major move by visitors to leave, Baja California Sur state tourism secretary Maribel Collins said.With rain already falling in Los Cabos, some flights in and out were canceled Friday, there was no way out anyway. Airports will be closed Saturday, according to the local civil defense office.The local hotel association estimated there were about 40,000 tourists still in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo on Friday.A couple from San Diego walked through the largely deserted streets of Cabo San Lucas on Friday. Because their sports fishing tournament had been postponed until next week, they had little choice but to stay. The local port was closed to navigation as a precaution. At the marina in Cabo San Lucas, José Ceseña was hauling out of the water the boat he usually uses to ferry tourists around on tours. With the port closed and a hurricane coming, he said it wasn’t worth risking his craft.Homero Blanco, the state commander of the National Guard, said beaches at the resort had been ordered closed and Guard troops were sent to clear people from the seashore.“This morning there were a few people on the beach when we cleared it,” Blanco said. “We invited them to leave.” The federal government posted 500 marines to the resort to help with storm preparations, and municipal officials said as many as 39 emergency shelters could be opened if needed.A hurricane warning was issued for the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and the forecast track would take a weakened Norma toward the mainland of Mexico’s western Pacific coast as a tropical storm.Norma was expected to weaken somewhat as it neared land, but not as much as originally forecast. In the Atlantic, Hurricane Tammy was about 55 miles (85 kilometers) east of Martinique and 135 miles (220 kilometers) southeast of the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph).Tammy was expected to remain at hurricane strength and even strengthen slightly as it moved toward the Lesser Antilles through Saturday passing by Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda. Both Martinique and Guadeloupe are French overseas departments.The hurricane center said in a report that “heavy rainfall and flooding (are) likely over much of the Lesser Antilles.”Hurricane warnings were issued for the islands of Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, and St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, St. Maarten, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.___Follow AP’s climate coverage at: https://apnews.com/hub/climate-and-environment。特别是6月份，樟宜机场的游客人数恢复率仅为85.3%，这反映出新加坡旅游业面临的挑战。新加坡旅游业复苏后劲欠缺 泰勒·斯威夫特在3月份的演唱会为新加坡的旅游业带来了短暂的提振，樟宜机场的游客人数几乎与2019年3月持平，恢复率达到99.9%。然而，演唱会结束后，旅游业的恢复率从第一季度的96.7%下降至第二季度的88.5%。这表明，尽管大型活动能够短期内提升旅游业，但长期来看，新加坡需要更多创新和策略来吸引游客。大多数传统客源市场现在都在苦苦挣扎，短期前景并不乐观。自今年年初新加坡免除对中国公民的签证要求以来，中国引起了广泛关注，两国之间的客运量恢复到新冠疫情前的水平。

C | 然而，樟宜机场的中国入境游客人数仍远低于2019年的水平，2024年第二季度下降了10%。新加坡-中国客运量的复苏是由出境（包括在新加坡工作的中国公民）和过境段推动的。樟宜机场的客运恢复率也从第一季度的100.5%小幅下降至第二季度的98.2%。然而，樟宜机场能够以更强劲的出境需求抵消大部分入境需求的下降。2024年上半年，樟宜机场的公交交通量增长了约6%，其中过境运输量占总运输量的34%，高于2019年的32%，这表明樟宜机场正在越来越多地依赖过境乘客，而不是直接入境的游客。当局应平衡高消费与经济型旅游 为了吸引更多的游客，新加坡需要考虑采取一些措施，例如提供更多的经济住宿选择和降低区域航班的出发费。此外，新加坡还应该考虑影响对价格敏感的旅行者的其他因素，例如提高旅游产品的性价比和改善旅游体验。新加坡的酒店房价也在不断上涨，2024年上半年，酒店平均房价为每晚280新元，比2019年同期增长了32%。

D | 与此同时，酒店入住率下降，从2019年上半年的约85%降至2024年上半年的80%，这使得新加坡面临着难以吸引价格敏感的旅行者的风险。亚洲地区的旅客需求也受到了樟宜机场起飞费用上涨的影响，目前该费用总计为65.20新元。尽管这一费用与酒店房间的价格相比可能看起来并不多，但对于许多仅在新加坡停留一两个晚上的地区旅客来说，65.20新元往往比廉价航空公司提供的基本机票还要昂贵。此现象在过去一年中导致亚洲航空公司减少了来往樟宜机场的六条航线，这反映出在刺激其他东南亚国家的入境需求方面所面临的挑战。新加坡旅游局已经宣布了一系列大型投资，以帮助旅游业应对日益激烈的全球竞争。例如，计划到2027年在樟宜机场附近建立自己的保时捷体验中心，并建设一个占地4公顷的海滨健康飞地。

E | 这些新景点可能会成功地吸引更多的高端游客，并进一步将新加坡与更便宜的目的地区分开来。新加坡还需要吸引预算有限的或中端游客，以产生支持旅游业整体生态系统所需的数量，并帮助填补5号航站楼开放后将出现的更大的樟宜机场。新加坡在制定其2040年的长期旅游愿景时，应当考虑采取一系列措施来吸引对价格敏感的旅行者。这包括提供更多的经济型住宿选择，以及降低区域航班的起飞费用，以减轻旅客的财务负担，并促进旅游业的发展。通过这些举措，新加坡不仅能够吸引更多的预算有限的旅客，还能够提升其作为旅游目的地的吸引力，从而实现旅游业的长远发展。
