Hong Kong – HKSAR Government continues to follow up on restrictions imposed by Japanese authority on Hong Kong flights

HKSAR Government continues to follow up on restrictions imposed by Japanese authority on Hong Kong flights

******************************************************************************************


     The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government (HKSAR Government) noted that the Japanese authorities today (January 4) announced relaxing the restrictions on Hong Kong flights. The HKSAR Government welcomes the relaxations, but emphasises that follow-ups with the Japanese authorities would continue such that Japan would rescind all restrictions targeting Hong Kong flights, with a view to reducing the impact on travellers.

     The Japanese authorities started restricting their airports’ handling of passenger flights departing from Hong Kong from December 30, 2022. The HKSAR Government has been actively communicating with the Japanese authorities over the past few days. The Transport and Logistics Bureau today hosted another video conference with the Japanese authorities, and noted that Japan would relax the restrictions. Starting from January 8, passenger flights from Hong Kong to Japan would also be permitted to use other airports in Japan, in addition to Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Kansai Airport, Chubu Airport, New Chitose Airport, Fukuoka Airport and Naha Airport. The Japanese authorities will also permit airlines to resume adding certain flights from Hong Kong to airports in Japan.  

     After the implementation of the relaxation measures, the Japanese authorities will still restrict the extent of the increase in the frequency of passenger flights departing from Hong Kong. The HKSAR Government will continue to request Japan to rescind all restrictions targeting Hong Kong flights.

Marlton Golf Course and Country Club is bringing history back to Prince George’s County Soon

As the club’s manager says, “Marlton has taken on the charm of an 18-hole course that has evolved around timeless nature.”

The Golf Course & Country Club is a welcoming environment for members and guests alike and offers a one-of-a-kind experience that cant be found anywhere else in Maryland. The club is poised to become the premier destination for those who love to golf, dine, and celebrate. This golf course was founded in 1968. It is well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

The Marlton Golf Club will be open to the public and offer various membership options. The golf course membership is also affordable and is great value for the money. Additionally, its fairways are not easy to navigate, even for hardcore golf players, making it popular among golf enthusiasts.

“Marlton Country Club is rich in history and found in the beautiful Prince Georges County southern region,” says the clubs manager.

The golf course occupies 168 acres of tranquil and beautiful wooded land originally owned by the Clagett-Hill family, who built a tobacco firm on it known as the Clagett-Hill Tobacco Barn.

In the mid-1960s, the Clagett-Hill family sold the land, including the barn, to Orville and Mark Ritchie, who intended to convert it into a settlement. The family later converted the tobacco barn into a golf course. Currently, Vann Jones, Willie Blakeney, Henry Turner, and Jimmy Garvin own the golf course.

The Marlton Golf Club in Upper Marlboro, MD, is located in the heart of the city, and it is easy to reach because it is just 45 minutes from Baltimore and about a 20-minute drive from Washington, DC.

The Marlton Golf Club has a snack bar, a full-service restaurant, a top-class beverage cart, a pro shop, and a driving range with grass tees and matted stations. Additionally, it has four sound stages suitable for live streaming and recording. Other additional features of the club include hiking and walking trails, a health and wellness center, a parking area, and a cigar lounge.

Once it opens, it will be the perfect place to relax after a round of golf or host a special event. The Golf Course & Country Club has been a staple of the Prince George’s County community for generations and will remain a premier spot even in the future.

About Us:
Marlton Golf Course & Country Club is one of the oldest clubs in the US. Ault-Clark and Associates designed the course. It features a food service dining area, a fully stocked golf shop, and an outside pavilion and patio overlooking the front nine.

The clubs tree-lined fairways require accuracy to conquer, a challenge thats entertaining and keeps golfers coming over and over again. The Marlton Country Club is a par-71 layout that plays between 4600 yards (forward tees) and 6200 yards (back tees).
