DA NANG, Vietnam, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the Ariyana Convention Centre in Da Nang, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 officially opened, launching Vietnam’s largest two-day exhibition and forum (August 26–27). The event features more than 55 in-depth sessions and groundbreaking technology showcases dedicated to the HORECA industry (Hotels – Restaurants – Catering Services).

Organized by HorecFex Vietnam and the Vietnam Hotel Association, this year’s event attracts more than 3,500 participants, including leaders from government agencies, international experts, associations, investors, and over 500 leading enterprises. With this scale and impact, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 reaffirms its position as a premier annual forum for updating the latest trends and technological solutions in the HORECA sector.

HorecFex Vietnam 2025 also carries strategic significance for Da Nang. The event not only enhances the city’s image as a leading tourism destination in the region, but also reinforces its role as the central hub of Central Vietnam, balancing the leadership of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in the tourism sector. Furthermore, it provides a foundation for addressing sustainable management and operational challenges as the city expands following administrative mergers.

The opening ceremony was attended by senior government officials and industry leaders, including Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet – Chairman of Da Nang City People’s Committee; Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh – Chairman of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT); Mr. Tan Van Vuong – Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; along with representatives of various departments, agencies, and provinces nationwide.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Quynh, Founder of HorecFex Vietnam, shared:
“HorecFex enters its second year with the goal of becoming a prominent annual event for Vietnam’s and the region’s Tourism – Hospitality industry. We are proud of the quality of this year’s forums, gathering more than 90 speakers and guests from 20 countries, including first-time voices in Vietnam from the US and Australia, as well as many leading international experts. Notably, 40% of the speakers are foreign experts and 40% are women – clear evidence of the diversity and inclusivity we pursue. Under the theme ‘The Way Forward,’ HorecFex 2025 not only affirms its role in connecting knowledge but also opens new pathways for the future of the industry. This strong attention also lays the foundation for us to start building the 2026 program with even more innovative and exciting content.”

HorecFex Vietnam 2025 also makes its mark with the largest-ever HORECA technology exhibition in Vietnam, showcasing solutions and equipment worth VND 42 billion (USD 1.7 million). This figure not only reflects significant investment but also highlights the organizers’ commitment to bringing the most advanced management and operational solutions closer to businesses.

Delivering the keynote, Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh – Chairman of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), stated:
“According to the 2024 Travel & Tourism Development Index (TTDI), Vietnam ranked 59th among 199 countries and territories. This result reflects remarkable efforts, yet also underscores critical tasks ahead: investing in tourism development, improving infrastructure, accelerating digital transformation, and applying science and technology. With the participation of leading domestic and international speakers and enterprises, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 will serve as a platform for connection, experience-sharing, and practical solutions to enhance competitiveness and drive Vietnam’s tourism breakthrough in a new era.”

Ms. Do Thi Hong Xoan – Chairwoman of the Vietnam Hotel Association, emphasized:
“Vietnamese tourism is entering a period of strong transformation. In the first six months alone, Vietnam welcomed 10.6 million international visitors (up 20.7% compared to the same period in 2024), served 77.5 million domestic travelers, and achieved total tourism revenue of VND 518 trillion. However, the tourism and hospitality industry is also entering a ‘new race’—requiring innovative thinking, flexible strategies, and decisive actions more than ever. At HorecFex this year, three pillars for Vietnam’s hospitality sector are clearly being defined for the coming period: (1) Technology – comprehensive digital transformation. (2) Sustainability tied to responsible tourism. (3) Redefining customer experience.”

Representing the host city, Mr. Luong Nguyen Minh Triet – Chairman of Da Nang City People’s Committee, expressed:
“Da Nang holds outstanding advantages in tourism resources and modern infrastructure. The city also leads the nation in the number of 4- and 5-star hotels, with many top international hotel management brands. However, to fully unlock development potential and create sustainable value, we need innovation, creativity, and close collaboration among many stakeholders—including state agencies, businesses, and technical partners from both domestic and international organizations. I believe HorecFex Vietnam 2025 is an excellent opportunity to connect, share experiences, and jointly develop breakthrough, strategic solutions to elevate service quality in the industry.”

Being chosen as the host city, Da Nang further consolidates its position as a leading conference and exhibition destination in the region. The event provides a platform for policymakers, businesses, and cross-sector experts in Hospitality, Restaurants, Catering, and Technology to exchange insights, while enhancing Da Nang’s competitiveness against other Asian destinations in an era of constant technological innovation.

As 2025 marks the final year of Vietnam’s 2021–2025 Socio-Economic Development Plan, HorecFex Vietnam is considered not only an industry-specific forum but also a practical bridge connecting enterprises, policymakers, and international experts. The event contributes to tourism growth goals, fosters innovation, and enhances service quality and visitor experiences through the adoption of the latest solutions and technology trends.

Alongside the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in promoting Vietnam’s tourism and maximizing the peak travel season, HorecFex Vietnam 2025 stands as a testament to practical collaboration and a driver of sustainable tourism development, making a positive contribution to Vietnam’s socio-economic growth.

GUILIN, China, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Integral, Esquel’s Sustainable Development Garden, has been awarded the “Zero Carbon Park” certification by the China Energy Conservation Association (CECA), becoming one of the first industrial parks in China to achieve this national-level certification.

The certification ceremony was held at Integral, with officials from the CECA, industry experts, and Esquel leadership in attendance, including Wang Ting, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the Carbon Neutrality Committee of CECA; Guo Erfu, President of Tianjin Eco-City Green Building Research Institute; Mo Zhenhua, Vice Chairman of the Guilin Municipal People’s Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Xiangshan District Party Committee; Liang Haitao, Deputy Secretary-General of the Guilin Municipal Government; Teresa Yang, Vice Chairman of Esquel Group; Calvin Tsang, Chairman of Esquel China Holdings Limited; and Sun Dayong, General Manager of Integral.

Manufacturing remains both a key driver of economic development and a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. As China advances its “dual carbon” goals, industries are under growing pressure to accelerate green transformation, develop low-carbon technologies, and adopt new models for sustainable growth.

“The case of Integral illustrates how industrial parks can balance economic development with environmental responsibility,” said Wang Ting, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the Carbon Neutrality Committee of CECA. “Through its seven net-zero strategies across full life cycle, Integral offers a systematic approach to emissions reduction and sets a practical benchmark for low-carbon transition. This experience can inspire more companies to create ecological value and strengthen the global competitiveness of China’s manufacturing sector.”

The certification was granted under the Technical Specification for Evaluation of Zero-Carbon Parks (T/CECA-G 0344—2025), a newly issued national standard developed by CECA. The framework covers nine key dimensions, including compliance, management systems, industrial planning, circular economy practices, building and equipment operations, emissions monitoring, as well as reduction and offset measures. Following a rigorous review, Integral recorded greenhouse gas emissions of 226.17 tCO₂ between July 2024 and June 2025, achieving a 100% offset rate and balancing between emissions with absorption.

Integral’s achievement builds on Esquel’s Net Zero Roadmap, which sets out seven key action areas: optimizing energy efficiency, driving responsible material use, prioritizing clean energy, growing a green value chain, leveraging purposeful networks, promoting sustainable lifestyles, and implementing credible and lasting offset programs.

This latest recognition adds to Integral’s track record of sustainability achievements, including being named one of the “Top 20 Sustainability Cases in 20 Years” by the UN Global Compact, winning the Gold Key Award for SDG Action in China, and earning LEED O+M Gold Certification for existing buildings.

Sun Dayong, General Manager of Integral, said, “This certification reflects Esquel’s long-term commitment to energy efficiency, clean energy adoption, and process optimization. Looking ahead, we will continue to scale up energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, contributing to a development model that grows from local practice to global adoption.”

At a time when industries face growing pressure to decarbonize, Integral demonstrates how systematic innovation can help traditional manufacturing transition toward a zero-carbon future.

SYDNEY, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Suunto announces the new Suunto Race 2, the latest edition of its flagship performance GPS watch, redesigned for upgraded wearability, functionality, and future scalability while retaining the trusted tools athletes rely on. The Suunto Wing 2 is a second-generation open-ear bone conduction headphone that lets users stay alert to their surroundings while enjoying audio and receiving real-time voice feedback directly from the Race 2. Together, this powerful duo empowers athletes and adventurers to train smarter, feel stronger, and stay safer.

Suunto Race 2: Designed for the driven

Suunto Race 2 builds on the original Race, refining what athletes value most while advancing design and performance. Created for those who train daily—chasing summits, preparing for races, or fitting workouts into everyday life—the Race 2 features a larger, brighter AMOLED display in a lighter, slimmer body, extended battery life, free offline maps, and smart training tools, empowering athletes to elevate performance and make every workout more effective.

Lightweight design meets powerful display.

The upgraded 1.5-inch AMOLED display delivers ultra-high resolution, sharp detail, and crystal-clear visuals. With a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, it remains readable in direct sunlight. LTPO technology allows the screen to drop to 1 Hz in Always-On mode, conserving battery while keeping key metrics visible. Despite the larger display, the watch is lighter and slimmer than ever, weighing 65g in titanium and 75g in stainless steel, and housed in a 49mm case that is only 12.5mm thick. A narrower bezel further expands the view, creating a more immersive experience.

Endurance supports exploration.

Race 2 offers up to 55 hours of continuous GPS tracking in full-performance mode using dual-band GNSS, providing highly accurate positioning essential for trail running. This endurance is enough to support ultra events ranging from 168 km to 200 km. Beyond GPS usage, the watch lasts up to 16 days with continuous 24/7 heart rate tracking enabled, giving users the freedom to train and live without constant charging.

Navigation elevates safety.

Users can download offline maps directly via the Suunto app, enabling full navigation without a phone or network. This boosts safety on remote trails with clear terrain details and real-time progress tracking. Specialized ClimbGuidance provides elevation insights to help pace uphill and downhill sections, ensuring smarter energy management.

Intelligence drives performance.

With over 115 sport modes, Race 2 supports trail running, cycling, swimming, skiing, and more. Athletes gain access to outdoor tools such as weather alerts, sunrise/sunset notifications, heatmaps, and a built-in compass. The evolving Suunto Coach offers personalized, data-driven training guidance, while recovery tracking, pacing, and nutrition reminders, and the ZoneSense system help optimize readiness and prevent overtraining.

Suunto Wing 2: Awareness and audio for every session

Built for endurance.
Wing 2 is designed to support the longest training sessions, with up to 12 hours of continuous playback and a total of 36 hours using the included power bank—enough for multi-day or overnight adventures. When time is short, fast charging provides three hours from 10 minutes. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, Wing 2 ensures a fast, stable connection in any environment for seamless audio wherever users go.

Crafted for performance 
A specially designed metal filter further reduces wind noise at speeds up to 30 km/h, making Wing 2 perfect for cycling, running, or any outdoor activity. Whether speeding down trails or navigating busy streets, Wing 2 ensures voices come through clear and natural to the person on the other end. Direct connection with the Race 2 allows real-time voice feedback on pace, heart rate, and key metrics. Head movement control enable quick adjustments with simple head movements, and dual noise-reducing microphones ensure clear calls.

Engineered for the wild
Smart LED safety lights built into the frame improve visibility in low light and can be customized via the app. Waterproof and dustproof, the Wing 2 withstands all-weather conditions. With USB-C fast charging and extended battery options, it’s built for any adventure.
