Abstract: Port has been the important infrastructure and basic industry to national economy and social development. Since the 21st century, with the idea of the fourth industrial revolution and the "Belt and Road" initiative proposed by the Chinese government, intelligent ports have become the important carrier which connects freight trade, logistics, storage, and information service. The construction of intelligent port is also regarded as an important means to enhance the port competitiveness. Qingdao Port, Xiamen Port and Yangshan Port phase IV, is the earliest automatic terminal in China. Weihai Port is located in Shandong Province of China, the nearest port between China and Korea, only 93 nautical miles far away from Incheon port. Around Weihai Port, there are petrochemical, automotive, electronic parts and other industrial park infrastructure. Shipping lines between Weihai Port and Korea and Japan are very busy. Weihai Port has superior geographical position and strong hinterland economy, but the port development is still being hampered by poor infrastructure, inefficiency, low popularity and other problems. Combining China’s intelligent port development in the fourth industrial revolution, Weihai port has the construction problems like small scale, poor efficiency and scattered distributions, a disconnection problem in all aspects, such as few roads and railway lines, low grades and poor collection and distribution efficiency, limited development space and face d brain drain problem. In this situation, this paper puts forward some strategies to help the better development of Weihai port.

Abstract: From the past decades, it can also be observed that along with the economies of East Asian countries the aviation industry has also received remarkable opportunities to grow. With time international travel increased worldwide and on average, the growth rate of international passengers increased and became 3% in the global market. Moreover, the East Asian regions face a 5-8% average growth in international passengers per year. This increased growth in international travel in the Asia-Pacific region is not only bearing fruitful outcomes for the economy but it has also connected the region with high-profile aviation industries around the globe, which are further supporting the economic and regional development in the region. In this research, the East Asian regions are referred to as Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, North Korea, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and Japan. Increased air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region has provided many opportunities for the aviation industries to bring improvement, but certain challenges are associated with regional airport development due to the increased rate of international travel. When the demand for international travel increases, it also enforces the aviation industries to increase their capacities, but this increase in demand or capacity increases the potential safety risks in the region which are associated with costs, delays, and congestion. Moreover, it also becomes challenging for the economy of the country if air travel is increasing continuously at a high pace but still there is no regional development of airports to accommodate the increased demand. Therefore, with the increased air travel in the Asia-Pacific region, there is a need to increase the regional development of airports in the region to mitigate the challenges associated with the increased demand, otherwise, this can impact the performance of already existing local airports in the region. In the coming decades, it is expected that huge and planned capital investments will be made in Asia-Pacific regions for improving and developing the airport-related infrastructures which will ease the flow of air travel. More than the cumulative investment of US$275 billion is expected in the regional developments of the airport in the Asia-Pacific region. This research is based on investigating the need for international and regional airport development in the Asia-Pacific region.
