Think there is a new exit/entrance at the opposite end of the long "hall"(where we took the escalator up to Hor counter.)
Look like the old counter building and the link bridges will be gone...
Together with the touting taxi/ojet.
With the closure of that right side entrance leading to the old taxi stand & harbour mart, it greatly affects the taxi drivers & food/retail shop business at the old departure/arrival hall.


Coming out of the new entrance is a piece of waste land under construction


Tourist has to walk a very long way out...




Cutting through the car park is a short cut but it might be dangerous for tourists with children or be carrying heavy luggage when there's a high no. of vehicles moving in & out of the carpark.


So now many touring in the premises area do not have much choice but to use this entrance on the left hand side after exiting from immigration bag scanning when they arrive btm or they can take a longer way out of the terminal.


If bro blackpage arrive btm, he will not be able to use his usual entrance to get out of the terminal to pay 50k rp to the taxi drivers anymore.

This small change has cause a big inconvenience to lots of unknowing tourists who planned to stay around hotels within harbour bay or be shopping at Harbour Bay mall,other than Zest hotel. Those who stays in Nine Days hotel,Swissbel,Amir hotel, Ggi hotel & Harbor boutique hotel will be like myself, have to exercise our legs more.

Better hope it doesn't rain upon arriving btm,& that's so much for sharing my yesterday's arrival.
