Don’t miss out stock exchange drivers in typhoon guidelinesOur piece yesterday on typhoon signal No8 has attracted some interest.迷你倉新蒲崗 Richard Witts writes with a tale from the 1970s.Among his various roles in the finance industry was a spell as the secretary and general manager of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the days when the city was blessed with four exchanges.He writes to say that financial secretary Philip Haddon-Cave was attempting to force the four exchanges to amalgamate and the first very small step in that direction was the formation in July 1974 of the Hong Kong Federation of Stock Exchanges.“I was appointed the Hon Sec. It really did not do anything much in part because we did not agree on very much.” One of the few things it managed to agree on was regulations for when the stock exchanges should close and reopen upon the approach and retreat of typhoons. “My proposal was in part to avoid every member of the HKSE phoning me as to when the market would reopen at the first hint that signals may be lowered.”So Witts duly drew up the guidelines, which were readily accepted by the federation’s council with one amendment. The time gap he had proposed between the lowering of signals and the beginning of trading was lengthened by one hour. This was to allow time for brokers’ drivers to get from their no-doubt-humble dwellings to their masters’ abodes to collect them.Travel newsOnline travel magazine Smart Travel Asia has concluded its Best in Travel Poll 2013. The respondents earned an average of US$156,307 per year, and 70 per cent were based in Asia and 15 per cent in both Europe and North America.Top holiday destinations, with 2012 rankings in brackets, were Bangkok (5), Bali (1) and Phuket (2). Hong Kong was ranked fifth this year and third in 2012. Top cities for business were Hong Kong (1), Singapore (2), Kuala Lumpur (3) and Seoul (3).Emirates (3) and Singapore Airlines (1) were both the top airlines, followed by Cathay Pacific Airways (2), while Air Asia (1) took the top spot in the budget sector, followed by Jetstar Asia (2) and Indigo (6). Top airports were Singapore (1迷你倉出租, Hong Kong (2), Incheon (4) and Kuala Lumpur (3).

Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong (3) ranked first in the business hotels segment, followed by Island Shangri-La Hong Kong (3), Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong (2) and The Fullerton Hotel Singapore (1).Shock call: more ethics in financeIt will come as no great surprise to learn that investors worldwide have little trust in the investment profession. A study by the CFA Institute and Edelman found that just 53 per cent of investors in the United States, Britain, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia trusted investment firms to do what was right. Retail investors are less trusting of the industry (51 per cent) than their institutional counterparts (61 per cent), and investors in the US (44 per cent) and Britain (39 per cent) are less trusting than those in Hong Kong (68 per cent).However, this mistrust does not translate to the capital markets with nearly three in four investors optimistic about obtaining fair returns from the markets.“Investors … want a culture shift – a renewed focus on ethical behaviour. Individual investment managers must be transparent, demonstrate integrity and communicate clearly to strengthen client relationships and preserve trust in the industry and the markets at large,” said Kurt Schacht, managing director of standards and financial market integrity at the CFA Institute.Lai See believes the prospects of striking a match on a bar of soap are brighter than expecting an ethical resurgence in the finance industry.Leaning on womenSheryl Sandberg’s Lean In Foundation has been a source of outrage on Facebook, of which she ironically is chief operating officer. The reason is that the foundation, which Sandberg set up to encourage women to pursue leadership roles, has advertised on the site for an intern to work part-time, but to commit to a regular schedule of work until the end of the year, and the role is unpaid. This is precisely the sort of exploitation women should not be subject to.儲存倉

By TANG ZHE in Nanjing and ZHENG XIN in BeijingThe organizers of the 2nd Asian Youth Games, which opened on Friday at the Nanjing Olympic Center Stadium, hope to set an example of frugality to young people in accordance with the recent call from leaders to cut back on extravagant spending.mini storageUnlike the magnificent and star-studded ceremonies of most international sports events, the games invited young people to participate to highlight the event as a festival for younger generations, according to Yang Weize, executive chairman of the organizing committee.It’s also lighter on the budget, he added.According to Yang, the cost of the opening and closing ceremonies is only one-tenth of the cost of sports events of the same size.“The (international sports event) ceremonies normally involve more than 10,000 performers, but we only have about a thousand, composed mostly of young people instead of stars,” he said.The decision reflected the event’s main goal of holding a thrifty event in accordance with the country’s new leadership’s appeal to cut back on extravagance.The total budget of the Nanjing Asian Youth Games will be less than 1 billion yuan ($163 million), and ideally under 700 million yuan if possible, Yang said.Instead of building new facilities, the city is using previously built stadiums.Only one new rugby stadium, which will open to the public after the games, was built for the Asian Youth Games.The other 26 stadiums required minor renovations.According to Cheng Yuan, a publicity officer of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Park, more than two-thirds of the new stadium’s seating, about 6,000 seats, are rented, and only about 3,000 are fixed for future use.“This has saved more than 20 million yuan,” she said.In addition to the rugby stadium, the park wiself storagel house three more newly constructed venues to be ready for the Youth Olympic Games to be hosted in Nanjing in 2014.Most of the stadiums’ facilities will be temporary and movable, a decision that greatly reduces the cost of the games, according to Cheng.Since the park will become a fitness center for residents after the games, installing brand new facilities would have been a waste of money, she said.Considering the high energy and resource consumption of some large-scale stadiums, many of these venues are equipped with energy-saving features, including an external sunshade and water source heat pump, according to the organizer.To save on air-conditioning costs, staff at the handball stadium at the Nanjing University of Technology are using an alternative method for keeping the temperature cool. They use a box filled with ice to absorb the heat.“The competition temperature of handball is required to be 24 C,” said Leng Qingfeng, manager of the stadium’s service team.“It could have cost us 800,000 yuan if we installed more air conditioners, but by using the ice cubes we can save 600,000 yuan.”In addition to the facilities, organizers have also reduced costs by cutting redundant jobs.Most of the staff are multi-tasking and many bring their own computers to work, said Cheng.“We insist on spending every cent to its value in preparation for the games, and we hope, apart from experiencing the sport, that young people will learn the value of being thrifty,” Yang said.The event will close on Aug 24. More than 2,600 athletes from 45 countries and regions will compete in 118 events in 16 sports. Staff serving the games will continue to work for the Youth Olympic Games next year.Contact the writer at tangzhe@chinadaily.com.cn and zhengxin@chinadaily.com.cn迷你倉

Top names in HR gather to brainstorm talent-management issues at CEB-SHL conference.迷你倉沙田 Reports by Rex AguadoIt was a formidable gathering of minds to crack the current China conundrum: how do you attract and keep the best talent on the mainland, amid a highly competitive domestic market and an unsettled global economy?The CEB-SHL LINK Greater China Conference 2013 apparently achieved what it sought to do – allow the participants to learn, interact, network and know. This year’s theme – “Big Data in a Nutshell: Integrated Talent Management Solution in Greater China” – was as timely as one could hope for, given the rapid evolution of the mainland human-resources scene.The event also included a presentation by CEB-SHL executives, led by Robert Morgan, CEB general manager and president and CEO of SHL, on the story behind the 2012 acquisition by CEB of SHL.Mike Tims, president for Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa at SHL, talked about “People Intelligence and Business Results in the New Work Environment”.Other presenters were: Eugene Burke, chief science and analytics officer at SHL; Stuart Hedley, field enablement director for Asia-Pacific at SHL; and Brad Adams, head of HR research and product management for Asia at CEB.Completing the CEB-SHL contingent were: Anthony Parslow, executive director for growth acceleration and commercial operations at SHL; Chris Frost, managing director at SHL Hong Kong; Christy Forest, executive director for Asia-Pacific at CEB; and Fu Quan, managing director of SHL China.Guest speakers included leading HR practitioners from organisations such as Boral Group, Fonterra, the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management, ICBC, Anheuser-Busch InBev Brewing Group China, Novartis, Kimberly-Clark China, C&A and Kellogg’s.Arguably, Morgan captured the conference’s main thrust, which was diagnosed in Burke’s comprehensive presentation: “There’s a lot of data around, but not a lot of tools to analyse that data.”Other speakers took turns highlighting the fact that most comp迷你倉價錢nies in China have been diligently collecting information about their talent pools, as well as chunks of the national job market, but that very few have been able to make sense of the raw information they have gathered.What can be gleaned from the unprocessed information gathered by both SHL and other talent analytics organisations was amply summar-ised by SHL China managing director Fu. “There are a lot of differences between China and the world as far as HR practices are concerned,” he said. “For example, in China, companies are more focused on retention and performance management.”Fu cited sectors such as retail, pharmaceuticals and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). “The rise of the middle class has fuelled growth, so hiring is up. But the talent retention rate is also high – with some FMCG companies reporting almost 100 per cent retention rates. So the challenge is talent assessment, as many companies in China are less focused on formal appraisal and talent data analysis.”Fu also cited the case of the financial sector, where commercial banks are transforming themselves into universal banks.Tims sees this phenomenon as part of a global problem, where companies are forced to achieve more with the same or less resources.“About 98 per cent of the members of CEB-SHL say they had gone through significant change over the past few years,” he said. “In China and the rest of Asia, companies have become more dispersed geographically, with a more matrixed structure.”Over and above these HR issues is, of course, the matter of leadership, the topic covered by Hedley and Adams.This issue was further teased out in a subsequent Classified Post interview with SHL’s Frost, who offers some hope in the form of talent analytics. “Big data in HR will follow the way companies are now doing financial and sales analytics,” she says. “We see a convergence between the building of … the recruitment pipeline and talent measurement. Talent assessment will come to the rescue of businesses facing a multitude of challenges.”迷你倉庫

More than just head-turning fashion statements, the value of fine jewellery tends to hold its own for generations.迷你倉庫 By May YipWHEN it comes to luxury splurges, women the world over often gravitate towards stylish head turners like the status bag. But sometimes such swish purchases come with equally staggering price tags, which could incite moments of headline-making blunders.Just earlier this week, Oprah Winfrey revealed during a TV interview that when she had asked to see a US$38,000 Tom Ford handbag at a boutique in Zurich, she was told by the sales assistant she probably couldn't afford it. Later, the media maven tweeted, "Turns out the store clerk did me a favour. Just found out that bag was $38,000. She was right I was not going to buy it."But unlike big ticket buys such as bags commanding five-figure prices, outr?m heels, fabulous cocktail dresses or designer costume accessories, which often depreciate in value, fine jewellery qualifies as a true investment buy that even intelligent shoppers like Winfrey would appreciate."The notion of investing in jewellery has been something we heard about more and more in the past five to six years, after the recession in Europe and the US," said Nicolas Bos, president and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels. "That dimension, which has always been strong with jewellery, has really reappeared. It's the pleasure of wearing a piece, the pleasure of gifting, coupled with the value of the jewel which is retained over time."When it comes to seeking coveted additions to their wardrobes, many shoppers also find it easier to justify the price tag on classic bling rather than seasonal accessories."I think investing in fine jewellery is a savvier splurge," said homemaker Leslie Hewlett, who considers a reversible necklace with diamonds on one side and sapphires on the other by homegrown jeweller Simone Ng as her most valuable piece. "Shoes and handbags tend to be trendy, while jewellery is timeless. Fine jewellery can be passed down to future generations while shoes and handbags end up in thrift shops."Indeed, diamonds - as well as other precious stones and metals - are a girl's best friend more than ever before. Back in April, auction house Christie's sold a 34.65-carat pink diamond - about the size of a thumbnail - for US$39.3 million. It actually exceeded the price fetched for a prized artwork, Andy Warhol's Four Marilyns, which sold for US$38.3 million in May."Everybody knows that stones hold value as an investment in the long term," said Yvon Neo, director of a travel and property company who enjoys collecting jewellery. "To me, buying fine jewellery is a smart investment, just like land in Singapore, which is getting harder to get nowadays anyway."After all, jewellery serves as a creative and mobile alternative to other diversified assets. One could hardly walk around with bullion or a pop art canvas hanging around one's neck. But bling serves as wearable investments that could be flaunted, stored or even toted with ease."We've had some interesting discussions with customers relating dramatic family histories, which involved having to escape from something bad and realising that jewellery is something you can grab and take with you," said Mr Bos. "Jewellery isn't going to be outdated in the following month or year. It holds its value."Want to learn how to capitalise on your latest fashion acquisition? Here are expert tips on picking out jewellery that shines in more ways than one:Pretty and prizedWhile investors (the majority of jewellery investors are, interestingly enough, men) may be sourcing diamonds and coloured gems as pure investments, specialists advise collectors to pick pieces that rank high on both aesthetics and value. "The most important thing is to buy what you like," said curator of Bulgari's Corporate Historical Archives Amanda Triossi, who is also a jewellery historian and former head of the Sotheby's jewellery department. "Jewels are created to be worn and enjoyed."And as much as jewellery purchases are almost always emotionally charged, often to mark special occasions, Singapore-based private jeweller Simone Ng echoes the belief that consumers should consider the quality and design of a creation before swiping that credit card."Often, a valuable gemstone isn't complemented with a good design; and if the design is not good, it will not bring out the best in the gemstone," said Ms Ng, executive creat儲存ve director of seven-year-old label Simone Jewels."This is why in every piece that I design, I try to merge a rare gemstone with a one of a kind design, ensuring it is very wearable. I often advise my customers to enjoy wearing the jewellery instead of just keeping it in the safebox. It wouldn't be an ideal piece of jewellery if one cannot enjoy both the investment and aesthetic aspects of it."Quality controlTake time to learn about stones or even a period of jewellery that you like. Consider taking a short course in, say gemology. Otherwise, go with a trusted jeweller with a flawless reputation. "If you are not a gemologist, you have to rely on the advice of experts because you will not be in the position to detect if the materials used in a piece are genuine or not," said Ms Triossi. "You can get the feel of an item's value with a bit of market research. Even if you were to buy a pair of shoes or a new property, you would look at similar products across the board."Buying from established, preferably historical jewellery houses provide a degree of assurance. Otherwise, be sure to consult close relatives or friends for recommendations of reliable jewellers. "The biggest advantage of going to a personal jeweller would be the time, attention and commitment given to every detail the customer desires," said Ms Ng, who has a HRD Antwerp Certified Diamond Grader diploma."This includes educating the customer on how to identify a good stone; styling tips on what design suits them and how to wear them; understanding their lifestyle and purpose of piece and of course customised budgeting. Also, as we don't have heavy retail overheads, there is no additional cost factored into our pricing."As Ms Triossi added: "As with any other investment, I can't expect to buy stones and immediately make a profit, so it is better to buy something you like of great quality. At least you get enjoyment from the piece."Signature styleDuring a retrospective of Bulgari's most memorable designs held at its Takashimaya Shopping Centre store in July, Ms Triossi waxed lyrical about a sapphire and diamond sautoir that Richard Burton had bought for Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday. Although the 52.7-carat sapphire design was bought for US$5.9 million at a Christie's auction of the movie star's jewels, as compared to another Bulgari highlight - a $6.1 million platinum necklace that Burton had presented to Taylor upon their marriage, which comprises 16 Colombian emeralds totalling 60.5 carats, the curator explained how the sautoir is more representative of the house's style. "It's a quintessential Bulgari piece, this sautoir, with its rounded, symmetrical magnificence. Because in the 60s, Bulgari came into its own in terms of design. It was using soft cabochons, for example, not angular stones."Similarly, when buying from a jewellery house or investing in estate or vintage pieces, select designs that are representative of the marque or period. "If it's an iconic design, it's like an important painting," said Mr Bos. "That's the trend you can see on the market - a demand for signature pieces that don't need a logo to be very recognisable."When it comes to Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery, Mr Bos recommends pieces that employ the Mystery Setting technique - whereby stones are set without visible prongs; the Zip Necklace and creations with butterfly, bird or ballerina motifs.The rarer the betterAs a general rule, rare baubles tend to gain more value over time. "For better value, always go for a stone that is more rare, of a better quality and in a better colour - rather than just size," said Ms Ng. "For example, a one carat fancy light pink diamond may cost as much as a 0.30-carat fancy vivid pink diamond. Although many may be tempted to buy the bigger stone, in this case, the 0.30-carat holds better value due to its rarity in colour."While bigger diamonds seem to have been selling better than, say, flawless ones, in most parts of the world, most specialists agree that any kind of stand-out piece - whether in terms of design, heritage or intrinsic value of the materials, makes for a sensible buy."It's also true for artworks, when you see a great disconnect with an exceptional piece and everything else," said Mr Bos. "Anything average doesn't hold its value, so you want exceptional stones, or signed jewellery. And also make sure that what you've got is the real thing."btnews@sph.com.sg新蒲崗迷你倉

pub_date:Investors worldwide believe there is much that can be done to restore trust in investment professionSingaporeIF you are an investment manager, you may do well in building trust with your client as he or she is likely to value ethical behaviour and transparency more than the performance of the investments.self storageA CFA Institute/Edelman Investor Trust study shows that investors worldwide have little trust in the investment profession and believe there is much that can be done to restore trust.According to the study, just 53 per cent of investors in the US, the UK, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia trust investment firms to do what is right. Retail investors appear to be less trusting of the industry, as only 51 per cent of them indicated so, compared with 61 per cent of their institutional counterparts.Geographically, investment managers in the West appear to have a greater trust deficit with clients than their colleagues in the Eastern hemisphere. Only 44 per cent in the US and 39 per cent in the UK trust their investment managers to do what is right as compared to 68 per cent in Hong Kong."This survey sends a clear message. Trust is absolutely critical to the future of finance, and it is up to all of us to help shape a more trustworthy financial system," said John Rogers, president and CEO of the CFA Institute."Investors believe the professionals they work with have been the most effective in earning their trust. This represents a significant opportunity for investment professionals and firms to actively build a culture where ethical practices are valued as highly as investment performance."This lack of trust in the investment industry does not translate to the capital markets. Nearly three-in-four investors report that they are optimistic about their ability to earn a fair return in capital markets. Yet intensity of that confidence is low, as just 19 per cent of investors "strongly agree" that they have a fair opportunity.However, before investment managers can claim victory for investors' trust in the capital markets, their joy may be short-lived. Just over half of investors, at 55 per cent, note that investment managers they work with have been the most effective in enhancing their trust in the capital markets.There is, however, a greater role for governments to play whe迷你倉 it comes to increasing investors' confidence in the capital markets. The survey reveals that 38 per cent and 35 per cent of investors respectively believe that national regulators and global regulators have been the most effective in enhancing their trust in the capital markets.Investors do expect governments to help build trust in capital markets as 52 per cent point to national and global regulators as having the greatest opportunity to effect change and enhance trust moving forward, far more than individual investment management professionals, at 28 per cent, and investment management firms at 13 per cent."When people lost trust in business during the financial crisis, they turned to government. And when they lost trust in government, they turned to individuals," said Ben Boyd, global chair of Edelman's corporate practice. "Through our 13 years of studying trust through the Edelman Trust Barometer, we have increasingly seen an emphasis placed on individuals to behave in ways that build trust and protect reputation. As this study shows, this holds true for the investment management industry as well."The study also reveals that putting investors' interests first is critical. Investors report that trusting an investment manager to act in their best interest is the single most important factor in making a hiring decision. Achieving high returns was cited only half as often, and fee amounts/structure only a fifth as much.Investors also indicate that behaviour-related attributes - including transparent and open business practices, responsible actions to address an issue or crisis and ethical business practices - are more important to trust-building than performance-related attributes such as delivering consistent financial returns and offering high-quality products or services."By focusing only on performance-centric standards, the industry is missing opportunities to build trust," said Kurt Schacht, CFA, managing director, Standards and Financial Market Integrity at CFA Institute. "Investors indicate in this study that they want a culture shift - a renewed focus on ethical behaviour. Individual investment managers must be transparent, demonstrate integrity, and communicate clearly to strengthen client relationships and preserve trust in the industry and the markets at large."文件倉

Due to the timing of the release of this report, the figures for 2013 are estimated, except where actual results have been reported.The report includes analysis of the leading competitors, as well as emerging companies in the current worldwide endoscopy market. Profiles of the manufacturers of the leading products are analyzed, their specific product strategies are outlined, and their pipeline of products is discussed. This report looks at companies poised to introduce new products during the forecast period and discusses how these products may change the face of the competitive environment. This competitive environment is examined with special focus on how developing products and technologies are influencing the current standard of patient care. Detailed profiles of the current market leaders and emerging companies are discussed in detail.Market figures are based on revenues at the manufacturers' level and are projected in 2012-dollar value. Inflation is not calculated in the projection figures.Trends are assessed based on a number of parameters, including projected sales for existing products, new product introductions, expanded indications for existing products, and finally, for projected changes in the prevalence, diagnosis, and scripting rates for certain diseases.Included in this report are forecasts by product, disease category, and by company for the period from 2013 through 2018. The report is arranged to provide an overview of the endoscopy market by product, company and geography. Forecasts are broken down by geographic region or by country. The worldwide market is analyzed and data provided for each disease sub-segment.Sales figures are reported in U.S. dollars and in each case reflect currency fluctuations within the performance of revenue change. Revenue figures do not account for variation in local currencies.All market share data presented is on a global basis unless specifically noted.INTENDED AUDIENCEThis report is an invaluable tool for business planners, acquisitions specialists, licensing strategists, product managers, market research analysts, investors, investor consultants and anyone interested in the Endoscopy market, its products, its industry participants, and its future.The importance of identifying overall market trends, product opportunities, emerging geographies, merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities, and insights that provide guidance for sales growth or defensive moves cannot be overstated for a variety of constituents, including:Established companies in the industry shall benefit from the contents, including corporate strategy, sales and marketing, business development, and research and development.Emerging companies in this medical device segment must understand specific opportunities for out-licensing, originating from the elements of differentiation of their product or technology as compared to leading, competitive, and emerging therapies. As well, market forecasts can support investment, provided a thorough and detailed substantiation is provided for the market forecast, as is found in this study.Investment firms evaluating candidates for venture capital or hedged investments will gain insights as to the opportunity and risks that are being encountered in the industry in a product and company specific analysis.Equity analysts are provided with detailed forecasts for the next five years, substantiated by quantitative analysis that can support further analysis to product and company forecasts over the short and long run.METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCESIn-depth interviews were conducted with leading experts in the field who are executives in companies, industry analysts, and leading medical practitioners in the field.The overall endoscopy sector is comprised of a variety of fast-growing and independent segments. For completeness, the current and forecasted markets are comprised of the total market opportunity for each respective segment. Within each subsection, there is a detailed forecast for each driving mechanism or relevant area of growth.Information to prepare this report was obtained from participating and emerging companies in the endoscopy area, the American Urological Association; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; Arthroscopy Association of North America; American Society of Gastroenterology; and American Academy of Otolaryngology. Information also came from articles published in medical journals such as the The Journal of Endoscopy, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy, Digestive Endoscopy, Circulation, Lancet, and others. Other information originated from the World Health Organization and other government agencies, literature searches, annual reports, 10Ks, and others.

南方日報訊 （記者/周東輝 通訊員/溫桂英 鄭斯敏 豐志毅）兩年星級評定一次農家樂，迷你倉庫三年內建成6個旅遊驛站，昨日，記者從清新區旅遊局獲悉，清新出台了《關於旅遊驛站規劃建設的意見》以及《關於發展農家樂旅遊的意見》，圍繞建“中國休閒養生及生態旅遊名城”的目標，清新把做強“農家樂”鄉村旅遊、做活“自駕游”休閒旅遊作為重要舉措，從機制、資金、稅費、規劃等諸多方面給予農家樂和旅遊驛站全面支持和引導。今年首評星級農家樂《發展農家樂旅遊的意見》指出，清新重點培育三大農家樂類型：一是依托鄉間田野風光，打造以農業風貌觀光區以及田園風情休閒的農家樂，如田園牧歌、清羨園、溫泉山莊等；二是在歷史文化、民俗風情突出、特色鮮明的村莊，培育特色民俗的農家樂，如龍頸鳳塱古村落，重點保護古村落、古民居，將當地特色民俗文化融于建設之中；三是主要交通主幹線沿線、區位位置優越、通達性好的村莊培育農家樂，主要在清西旅遊沿線，以特色飲食為切入點發展農家樂。據瞭解，清新將今年11月份左右開展首次星級農家樂評定，同時以後將兩年開展一次星級農家樂評定，讓農家樂成為旅遊的名片。在投入方面，清新財政獎勵的力度非常大。其中設立農家樂發展專項資金100萬元。對儲存建投資規模達到1000萬元或以上的農家樂項目按實際投資額的2%給予獎勵，用于項目基礎設施建設；對被評為清新區5星級、4星級、3星級的農家樂分別給予5萬元、4萬元、3萬元的一次性獎勵；對其所在鎮場分別給予該鎮（場）2萬元、1.5萬元、1萬元的獎勵。對獲得國家級工農業旅遊示範點稱號或鄉村旅遊示範點稱號的一次性給予10萬元獎勵；對獲得省級工農業旅遊示範點或鄉村旅遊示範點稱號的一次性給予5萬元獎勵。3年建成6大旅遊驛站按照《關於旅遊驛站規劃建設的意見》，清新將在中心城區規劃建設金五菱旅遊驛站、觀景台驛站；在清四公路沿線規劃建設太平石桐驛站；在清連高速公路沿線規劃建設古龍峽驛站、鳳塱驛站、浸潭驛站，6個驛站建設將全部在2015年前全部完工。在《意見》中，清新對驛站建設提出非常細緻的要求，“設計元素多元一體：每個旅遊驛站及其標識系統的設計，充分採用當地特色文化與當地生態旅遊元素，形成具有獨特風格的標誌性工程項目。”記者瞭解到，為了推動驛站建設，清新區根據驛站實際投入的資金分別給予財政補貼，對按照規劃建設，經驗收符合旅遊驛站標準的一次性補貼10萬元，對投入1000萬以上給予實際投入資金2%的補貼，最高補貼不超過30萬元。新蒲崗迷你倉
