SINGAPORE, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ERA Singapore announced new plans to further integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its proprietary SALES+ app, enhancing productivity and collaboration across its network of agents. The move follows the two-day SALES+ Amplified Tech Bootcamp, where ERA teammates were trained by top-performing realtors and company leaders. The upcoming enhancements will introduce next-generation AI features, reinforcing ERA’s position as the industry’s only agency offering the most advanced AI tools to empower agents and clients alike.

“Technology has always been integral in our business, strengthening ERA’s position as a leading real estate agency in AI adoption,” said Marcus Chu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ERA Singapore. “Our SALES+ app currently leverages over 20 AI-powered functions, and we plan to double that number by 2026. In the next phase, we’re introducing enhanced practical, AI-driven tools that help our agents work smarter – from data-backed insights to more efficient client servicing. These upgrades are built to give our people a clear edge in an increasingly competitive market.”

Pioneering the Future of AI in Real Estate

ERA is advancing the next phase of AI innovation with features that boost agent productivity, streamline performance tracking, and enable smarter decision-making. These enhancements empower agents to strengthen their personal brands, identify quality leads, and close deals more efficiently. Reinforcing ERA’s position at the forefront of property technology, the upgrades continue its legacy of pioneering digital solutions since launching Singapore’s first real estate tech system in 1982.

Commitment to Staying Ahead

Since its launch in 2022, SALES+ has transformed how ERA agents work – from market analysis to closing deals on the go. Powered by advanced technologies including OpenAI’s GPT-5, the platform boosts productivity through intelligent automation and content creation.

With AI Guided and Advanced Creation modules, agents can instantly generate property listings, SEO-optimised copy, event invites, and personalised greetings – all tailored to clients’ needs by specifying tone, purpose, and audience.

Beyond content creation, SALES+ empowers agents in their daily work with AI-powered tools such as instant translation, Google Ads generation, and an AI Legal Adviser that simplifies complex clauses to help agents better guide clients. AI Staging transforms cluttered property photos into visually compelling marketing images, while the AI Script Creator crafts personalised client messages and follow-ups, seamlessly integrated with WhatsApp for added efficiency.

The platform also features AI Property Reports with data-driven charts and insights tailored to different client profiles – offering actionable recommendations that support smarter property decisions.

Adoption of the app has been strong since launch, with over 75% of our ERA agents generating more than 534,000 AI queries, including nearly 90,000 property reports to date. This continued momentum reinforces ERA’s position as the only real estate agency in Singapore with the most advanced AI tools driving greater efficiency and value for both agents and clients.

Complementing this, ERA has built a dedicated team of over 10 AI specialists since 2023 to integrate advanced tools that enable its tech teams to code faster, smarter, and with fewer errors. These innovations streamline workflows, optimise performance, and enhance code quality through intelligent automation. The team also automates cloud infrastructure management for greater scalability and reliability, and accelerates UI/UX design workflows to boost creativity while reducing repetitive tasks. In parallel, AI-powered cybersecurity systems safeguard digital resources by proactively detecting threats, analysing risks, and executing automated responses. Additionally, ERA leverages AI-generated voice and video content for SALES+ tutorials, giving agents interactive, on-demand learning experiences that make mastering new features faster and more intuitive.

“Our mission is to empower every ERA agent to be future-ready,” added Raymond Leong, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), ERA Singapore. “By constantly investing in technology, we’re ensuring that our people have the right tools to serve clients with speed, precision, and professionalism – at the click of a button, wherever they are.”

Riyue Bay Surf Resort to Welcome Guests Starting November 11 

WANNING, China, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Riyue Bay Surf Resort, a flagship lifestyle destination developed by China Tourism Group (CTG) and one of four signature properties along the Hainan Coastal Scenic Highway, will officially welcome guests beginning November 11, 2025. As China’s first resort inspired by surf culture, it introduces a distinct new concept in coastal hospitality, blending ocean adventure and modern resort living. 

Located along Hainan Island’s southeast coast, Wanning is home to 109 kilometers of pristine shoreline. Riyue Bay, celebrated for its crystal-clear waters and exceptional wave quality, has long been regarded as the “Surfing Paradise of China.” Positioned as the “spiritual home for wave riders,” Riyue Bay Surf Resort stands within the only coastal destination in China that combines world-class surfing conditions with a vibrant, contemporary lifestyle.

Spanning more than 10 hectares (25 acres), Riyue Bay Surf Resort features signature amenities such as a state-of-the-art surf park, a surf-inspired hotel, a designer boutique hotel, and a vibrant lifestyle retail district. The resort’s experiential concept centers on four surf-inspired zones—”Heavy Wave,” “Medium Wave,” “Light Wave,” and “Gentle Wave”—designed to deliver immersive, year-round surf and leisure experiences. 

SURFLAND Unveils China’s First Super Artificial Wave Pool

At the heart of the resort is SURFLAND, home to China’s first super artificial wave pool, setting a new benchmark for surf-inspired recreation with cutting-edge pneumatic wave technology and innovative design.

To ensure exceptional wave performance, the resort utilizes the PerfectSwell® system by American Wave Machines (AWM), a U.S.-based pioneer in wave-generation technology. The system’s 30-chamber pneumatic design, the only one of its kind globally, creates waves that replicate natural ocean movement, offering guests a thrilling, authentic, and safe surfing experience.

Unlike traditional wave-generation systems, this advanced pneumatic technology provides greater consistency and realism, overcoming seasonal and weather limitations to make surfing accessible day and night, all year long. Environmentally, the system’s air-driven design eliminates hydraulic mechanisms and potential fluid leaks, ensuring a safer and more sustainable experience for guests and the environment alike.

The super artificial wave pool generates waves ranging from 0.5 to 2.7 meters (1.5 to 9 feet) high, with rides lasting up to 18 seconds and waves generated every 6 seconds. With 23 distinct wave configurations, it caters to all skill levels—from first-time surfers to elite professionals—and is fully equipped to host international surfing competitions. After sunset, the pool area transforms into a social hub, creating an energetic and stylish evening atmosphere for guests to connect and unwind.

Redefining Resort Living Through the “Four Wave Levels” Concept

Riyue Bay Surf Resort is designed to resonate with modern, lifestyle-oriented travelers, with its concept built around the resort’s signature “Four Wave Levels” framework. The integrated design unites SURFLAND, the resort hotels, and the retail promenade into a comprehensive resort destination combining sport, hospitality, shopping, and culture. 

The resort features two signature hotels—the Yue Chao Surf-Themed Hotel and the Yu Yue Designer Hotel—each tailored to the preferences of surf enthusiasts and leisure travelers alike. Drawing inspiration from Hainan’s coastal landscape, both hotels offer 132 thoughtfully designed guest rooms, blending comfort and contemporary design for a serene “sleep by the sea” experience.

For guests seeking dining and entertainment, the resort’s X-LIVIN Street presents a dynamic social and culinary hub, featuring a live music venue, a beachfront club, and a bistro, along with cafés, Southeast Asian and international restaurants, and outdoor activity providers. Together, these elements create a lively destination for relaxation, exploration, wellness, and connection—capturing the spirit of modern surf culture. 

As China’s first resort dedicated to surf culture, Riyue Bay Surf Resort is ready to make its debut. By turning the philosophy of “creating waves, not just waiting for them” into a real-world experience, the resort establishes itself as a destination for those who live and breathe the surf lifestyle.

Here, surfing enthusiasts can celebrate their passion, immerse themselves in the sport’s thrill, and enjoy the comfort and sophistication of a full-service resort. Guests can embrace a lifestyle shaped by the rhythm of the waves, where each moment reflects a different expression of coastal living.

The opening of Riyue Bay Surf Resort not only introduces a new category of surf-inspired hospitality to China but also marks a new chapter for Wanning’s growing surf community. As a showcase property along the Hainan Coastal Scenic Highway, the resort is set to elevate the region’s tourism appeal, attract trend-setting travelers from around the world, and contribute to Hainan’s vision of becoming a leading international leisure and vacation destination.
