MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Filipino travelers shopping abroad can now receive eligible tax refunds in minutes through their GCash wallets. Powered by Alipay+ and its global tax refund partner Global Blue, the new Digital Tax Refund feature enables outbound Filipino travelers to receive tax refunds instantly and directly in Philippine Peso (PHP) through the GCash app.

GCash users can now seamlessly claim tax refunds directly into their GCash wallets across 16 countries

The service will initially be available across 16 countries, namely Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Argentina, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland, with more countries to be added soon.

Traditionally, travelers claiming tax refunds overseas choose between receiving cash in foreign currency, which may be difficult to use after returning home, or waiting one to four weeks, or even longer, for refunds to be credited to their bank accounts or credit cards. Currency conversion fees and exchange rate fluctuations can further reduce the value of the refund.

Using the service is designed to fit seamlessly into the existing airport tax refund process. After presenting the required travel and shopping documents to customs for validation, travelers can open the Tax Refund feature in the GCash app, accept the one-time Terms and Conditions, and generate a personal QR code. Once scanned by the airport tax refund counter representative, the refund is instantly converted to Philippine pesos and credited directly to the user’s GCash wallet, accompanied by a real-time confirmation notification.

“Through Digital Tax Refund, we are giving Filipino travelers a faster and more convenient way to receive the money they are entitled to, directly in Philippine pesos through the GCash app they already use every day,” said Carlos Bauza, Vice President for International Payments of GCash International.

The Digital Tax Refund feature reflects the continued evolution of digital financial services in making cross-border transactions more convenient for Filipinos. Through solutions that simplify international travel, digital platforms can help travelers save time, maximize the value of their purchases, and enjoy more seamless financial experiences wherever they go across the 16 available countries.

Laos welcomed 23,133 Japanese tourists in the first six months of 2026, a 36 percent jump from the same period last year, as the country ramps up tourism promotion in Japan.

The Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism reported that Japanese arrivals have climbed steadily since 2022, rising from 6,848 that year to 24,824 in 2023, 28,966 in 2024, and 33,743 in 2025.

Manisakhone Thammavongxay, the ministry’s Director General of the Tourism Marketing and Promotion Department, credited the surge to sustained promotional work, embassy outreach, and Laos’ participation in World Expo 2025 in Osaka.

She also pointed to Princess Aiko’s five-day visit in late November 2025 as a key driver, her first official overseas trip, which took her to Vientiane and Luang Prabang to mark 70 years of Laos-Japan diplomatic relations. 

Another factor drawing Japanese interest to the country was the annual Laos Festival in Tokyo, held this year on 23 and 24 May, Manisakhone said.

To support this growth, the ministry signed a new agreement on 17 August renewing the tourism agreement with a Japanese company to promote Laos as a destination to attract more visitors from Japan.

Under the deal, the company will continue promoting Lao tourism to Japanese agencies, media, schools, and universities, while producing articles for Japanese outlets and supporting the Lao Festival in Tokyo.

The gains in the Japanese market form part of a broader tourism rebound.

Laos welcomed nearly 2.6 million international visitors in the first half of 2026, up 9.9 percent year-on-year, led by Thailand, China, and Vietnam. Following 4,580,709 visitors in 2025, the government now targets 5 to 6 million international arrivals by the end of 2026.

2. Optimizing Autoware and reference AI models on R-Car Gen 5

TIER IV will port and optimize Autoware on Renesas’ R-Car Gen 5 automotive SoCs. Building on this software foundation, TIER IV also plans to deploy its reference AI models – E2E autonomous driving AI models – on R-Car Gen 5.

By combining conventional autonomous driving software with AI-native driving models on a common computing platform, the joint development aims to deliver highly scalable autonomous driving solutions covering both today’s production advanced driver-assistance systems and future Level 4 autonomous driving systems.

3. Exploring next-generation AI computing technologies

Looking beyond current-generation automotive SoCs, TIER IV is developing AI accelerators optimized for transformer-based autonomous driving AI as well as next-generation sensing technologies including LiDAR and 4D radar.

Initial demonstration

TIER IV plans to demonstrate Autoware and its reference AI models running on Renesas’ R-Car X5H at Automotive World 2026, which is taking place September 9-11 at Makuhari Messe in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The demonstration will showcase the integration of open autonomous driving software, AI-native driving models and automotive-grade computing on a unified platform.

Supporting quotes

“SDVs require more than just powerful AI models,” said Shinpei Kato, founder and CEO of TIER IV. “They also require computing platforms that allow those models to run efficiently, safely and at scale in production vehicles. We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Renesas to build an open AI-native computing platform by combining Autoware, our reference AI models and Renesas’ next-generation R-Car automotive SoCs. We will continue expanding the open-source ecosystem centered on Autoware while accelerating the deployment of scalable autonomous driving solutions from Level 2+/2++ to Level 4.”

“We are delighted to evolve the relationship with TIER IV into a full business collaboration,” said Aish Dubey, VP and Head of SoC Division of Renesas Electronics Corporation. “R-Car Gen 5 represents our vision for a new generation of automotive computing, where software, AI and vehicle intelligence must work together on a common platform. With our collaboration with TIER IV, we are helping bring that vision to life.”
