Vinpearl’s Multi-Experience Resorts: A “Back to Nature” Experience That’s Anything But Boring

In today’s fast-paced world, the desire to reconnect with nature is stronger than ever. Vinpearl, Vietnam’s premier hospitality brand, recognizes this need and has curated a collection of luxurious resorts that seamlessly blend biophilic design with world-class amenities.


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2024 – In an increasingly developed world, where experiences are often neatly packaged for convenience, it can feel like a chore to have a truly “real” experience with nature. The concrete jungle, while having its own allure, can leave us yearning for the raw, untamed beauty of the natural world. This innate tendency to reconnect with nature, or biophilia, is more than just a passing trend; it’s a deep-seated human need.

And this need is also shaping the travel industry. Research suggests that time spent in nature offers a multitude of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, improving immune system function, and reducing levels of stress hormones. It is, therefore, no surprise that immersing oneself in the natural world has become one of the most sought-after ways for 1.3 billion inbound tourists to relax and rejuvenate.

The World Economic Forum’s Travel and Tourism Development Index 2024 (TDDI) reveals a notable trend: Tripadvisor pageviews have become increasingly concentrated on a country’s most popular natural and cultural attractions since 2021, when Covid-19 is forcing people to stay inside. This underscores the growing allure of nature tourism, a cornerstone of biophilia, which generates more than $600 billion in revenue globally.

Vinpearl: Embracing the Nature Tourism Trend

Vinpearl, Vietnam’s leading hospitality brand, has strategically embraced the growing desire for nature-based experiences. With over 45 properties spanning 17 provinces and cities, it offers a diverse portfolio encompassing luxurious accommodations, world-class entertainment, and immersive nature encounters.

Take, for instance, Vinpearl Nha Trang, situated on the picturesque Hon Tre Island. It offers more than just breathtaking ocean views. The resort’s expansive 36,000 square meter diving area, teeming with over 50 species of fish and more than 4,800 vibrant coral reefs, provides an idyllic setting for guests to marvel at the ocean’s beauty and engage in thrilling water sports. From snorkeling and scuba diving amidst the coral reefs to capturing underwater memories through photography and kayaking through the crystal-clear waters, Vinpearl Nha Trang offers an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

Another nature-based Vinpearl attraction is Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, where the wild roams free. As Vietnam’s first semi-wild zoo, Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc has become a haven for those seeking an immersive wildlife experience. Visitors can witness the majesty of nature firsthand as they embark on a “caged human, free animal” journey, where the roles are reversed, and the animals roam freely while humans observe from the safety of specialized vehicles.

“Encounters with bears, tigers, lions, and other animals blocking the vehicles are a common occurrence in the semi-wild zone. It’s this unique ‘specialty’ that excites every visitor, as they never know what awaits them on their journey,” said Tran Hoang Huy, a safari guide.

With the largest scale in Southeast Asia, Vinpearl Safari offers visitors from all over the world a rare space to explore nature and an ideal living space for nearly 4,000 creatures of 200 species – including about 40 endangered species, a diverse plant ecosystem with 1,200 species. In 2024, Vinpearl Safari was recognized by the Worldkings World Record Alliance as “The most diverse island safari with the largest number of animal individuals in the world”.

These two are just prime examples of Vinpearl’s dedication to satisfying travelers’ tendencies to seek nature.

Commitment to Green and Sustainable Tourism

Vinpearl’s dedication to providing immersive nature experiences is complemented by a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and green practices. This dedication manifests in several initiatives implemented throughout their properties.

To reduce its carbon footprint, Vinpearl actively pursues energy conservation. This is achieved through the use of energy-efficient technologies and practices such as harnessing solar power, employing LED lighting, and implementing smart energy management systems.

Additionally, the company also prioritizes waste reduction and management. Vinpearl has implemented comprehensive programs that encompass recycling, composting, and minimizing single-use plastics, thus safeguarding the environment and conserving valuable resources.

Water conservation is also a key focus, including initiatives such as rainwater harvesting, implementing closed-loop wastewater treatment systems that adhere to international standards, and employing various other resource-saving solutions.

These comprehensive efforts toward sustainability have garnered recognition from various organizations. Notably, Vinpearl Resort & Spa Ha Long was honored with the prestigious ASEAN Green Hotel Standard in 2019, a testament to its unwavering commitment to sustainable tourism practices. By prioritizing responsible tourism and actively working to minimize its ecological footprint, Vinpearl is ensuring that future generations can continue to revel in the wonders of Vietnam’s natural landscapes.

In a world where genuine experiences with nature can be elusive, Vinpearl offers a refreshing alternative. By combining luxurious accommodations with immersive nature-based activities, Vinpearl provides a truly unique and unforgettable vacation experience. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a deeper connection to the natural world, Vinpearl’s multi-experience resorts have something to offer every traveler.

Bay of Lights: Elevating Cambodia As Premier ASEAN Financial And Tourism Destination


SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2024 – Canopy Sands Development unveiled its USD 16 billion Bay of Lights township project at two distinguished industry events—the Australia-ASEAN Business Forum, and the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific Australia New Zealand (HICAP ANZ 2024), highlighting its pivotal role in fostering regional collaboration and elevating Cambodia’s profile as the next financial and tourism destination on the global stage.

The Australian-ASEAN Business Forum celebrates 50 years of economic cooperation and regional partnerships.
The Australian-ASEAN Business Forum celebrates 50 years of economic cooperation and regional partnerships.

These forums provided a prime opportunity to introduce Bay of Lights not simply as a symbol of Cambodia’s potential, but as a transformative initiative that will reshape the region. Envisioned as a leading destination for international tourists and investors, Bay of Lights is poised to drive Cambodia’s urban evolution while serving as a conduit for deeper economic partnerships between Cambodia, Australia, and the broader ASEAN bloc, opening new frontiers for growth and collaboration.

“Australia and ASEAN’s longstanding partnership, based on mutual respect and shared goals, has led to significant growth in bilateral trade across various sectors,” said Michael Truong, Head of business development at Canopy Sands Development. “With Cambodia serving as a gateway that connects both regions, the Bay of Lights is envisioned not just as city’s transformation but as a community that will sustain this economic growth and collaborative efforts in our region.”

Spanning 934 hectares, the Bay of Lights project has already secured key international partnerships, making headlines with high-profile collaborations. Among them is a partnership with Australia’s Greg Norman Golf Course Design, which is set to bring Cambodia’s first USGA-standard 18+1-hole waterfront golf course to life. Major global hospitality leaders—such as The Ascott Limited, IHG, and Radisson—have also signed on, with the aim of transforming the region’s tourism landscape and delivering substantial cultural and economic benefits to both Cambodia and ASEAN.

Strategically leveraging Cambodia’s location at the crossroads of the ASEAN-Australia economic corridor, the project is primed to benefit from thriving regional trade dynamics. Australia’s trade with ASEAN nations reached USD 183.4 billion in 2023, surpassing trade with key economies like Japan and the United States. Buoyed by trade agreements including the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Bay of Lights is positioned to become a premier financial and investment hub, drawing global investors seeking to tap into Southeast Asia’s flourishing markets.

With this strategic vision and robust partnerships, Bay of Lights is set to become a flagship destination for cultural tourism and international investment in Southeast Asia and beyond.

New Critical Illness Plan by HL Assurance Aims to Bridge Insurance Gaps for Singaporeans


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2024 – There is a critical problem in Singapore: critical illness (CI) coverage, or a lack of it, even in 2024. Many Singaporeans are vulnerable to financial strain from critical illnesses as they are underinsured.

HL Assurance KV

The Life Insurance Association (LIA) of Singapore, which promotes financial literacy and sets industry standards, published a Protection Gap Study in 2023 and found these to be the reasons:

  • The complexity and wide variety of CI policies make it confusing for consumers.
  • Many people deprioritise CI insurance, thinking they won’t be affected.
  • High premium costs.
  • Standalone CI policies typically do not offer cash value upon surrender or maturity.
  • It is difficult to assess what adequate coverage is due to the wide range of critical illnesses.

What people may not realize about CI coverage

LIA found that the CI protection gap was 74% as of 2022. This number represents the average shortfall between the money needed for a critical illness event and an individual’s insurance coverage.

The average critical illness coverage needed for an economically productive adult in Singapore is around S$316,603, but the average existing coverage is only S$59,776, a substantial shortfall​​ of S$264,586.

Recovering from a critical illness goes beyond immediate medical expenses: ongoing household expenses, debt repayments, and other daily costs. LIA’s study estimates that it takes about five years to recover financially without insurance coverage. The sheer sum of these expenses can be emotionally distressing and lead to long-term financial instability for patients and their families.

Early Protect360 Plus effectively addresses these issues

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, as everyone’s needs are unique, Early Protect360 Plus is an affordable, inclusive solution designed to cover as many key areas as possible. Here are reasons why you should consider Early Protect360 Plus for your CI needs:

Comprehensive early and advanced-stage coverage

Early Protect360 Plus offers comprehensive coverage for both early and advanced stages of critical illnesses and checks the essential boxes for severe conditions, including coverage for life-threatening conditions like:

  • all major cancers
  • advanced stage heart attacks
  • strokes with lasting effects
  • end-stage kidney failure, and
  • coronary artery bypass surgery

But this plan also includes early-stage conditions such as:

  • early thyroid or prostate cancers
  • heart valve surgery
  • brain aneurysm surgery, and
  • keyhole coronary bypass surgery

Prioritising early detection aligns with Singapore’s Healthier SG movement, which encourages Singaporeans to manage their healthcare proactively. There’s a good incentive here: Early-stage critical illness expenses are significantly cheaper than late-stage critical illness treatment costs, and adopting a proactive approach to health might pay off handsomely in the long run.

For example, based on the Ministry of Health (MOH) fee benchmarks, early-stage colon cancer treatments can cost approximately S$14,000, while late-stage interventions can cost up to S$48,000. These are ballpark figures, of course, but they show how much more expensive late-stage treatments are. Moreover, the chances of effective and quicker recovery are significantly higher at the early stage.

The bottom line is that comprehensive coverage for early and late-stage conditions at an affordable premium is a win-win.

High-benefit payouts and unique ICU coverage

One of Early Protect360 Plus’s standout features is its high-benefit payouts. The policy offers up to $300,000 coverage, with a 100% benefit payout for covered critical illnesses. Additionally, it provides an extra 20% payout for intensive care unit (ICU) stays, up to $25,000. This payout does not reduce the CI benefit limit and is unique to Early Protect360 Plus.

This thoughtful provision ensures that policyholders have additional financial support during extended hospital stays while retaining the full benefit limit for critical illness treatments.

Ease of enrollment and renewal

By simplifying qualifications, Early Protect360 Plus ensures more people can access critical illness coverage. This policy removes a barrier for those put off by the expense and time needed for mandatory medical examinations. All you need is to answer three simple health declaration questions.

Unlike many competitors, the policy is also renewable up to age 99, providing many seniors with long-term protection now that life expectancy and retirement age have risen significantly.

Affordable premiums and flexible payments to fit your budgeting

Early Protect360 Plus offers flexible payment options and attractive limited-period discounts to encourage Singaporeans to bolster their insurance coverage. Policyholders have options for monthly, annual, or lump sum payments, allowing them to manage their finances according to their preferences and financial situation.

The ongoing launch discounts are also an added incentive, with a 20% discount on the base premium. Policyholders can enjoy additional discounts, with another 5% discount if they pay annually or a further 10% off with a lump sum payment. Even if you sign up after the launch offer expires, you are still eligible for a 10% discount on the base premium.

Broad eligibility to get more people covered

Early Protect360 Plus has broad eligibility criteria and is available to Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, and holders of various valid passes (employment pass, work permit, dependent pass, long-term visit pass). So long as you are between the ages of 18 and 65 upon application, the policy is renewable up to age 99, ensuring that many individuals benefit from its comprehensive coverage.

Sign up for Early Protect360 Plus

In the face of rising healthcare costs and the financial challenges posed by critical illnesses, Early Protect360 Plus is a handy shield against unforeseen circumstances with a robust safety net. Its comprehensive coverage, high benefit payouts, ease of enrollment, flexibility, and broad eligibility make it a compelling choice for anyone seeking easily accessible, thorough protection.

Whether you are a young professional, a breadwinner with dependents, or someone with a family history of critical illnesses, consider Early Protect360 Plus to secure your health and financial well-being today. Visit the Early Protect360 page for more information, or sign up here.

Arla Foods Ingredients launches new high-protein dairy campaign


TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2024 – Arla Foods Ingredients has launched a new campaign to inspire dairy manufacturers to create innovative high-protein products.

Arla Foods Ingredients
Arla Foods Ingredients

Over four in ten consumers globally say protein is the most important ingredient.[i] However, conversations around the vital nutrient are changing, with health-focused shoppers increasingly focusing not just on how much protein they consume, but also its nutritional quality. Manufacturers of high-protein products can also face challenges around differentiation, processing, taste and texture.

The ‘Go High in Protein’ campaign showcases the Arla Foods Ingredients Nutrilac® ProteinBoost range of patented microparticulated whey proteins, which are rich in all the essential amino acids. It demonstrates how they can be used to overcome technical challenges and create high-protein dairy products with appealing taste and texture.

At the heart of the campaign is a new virtual protein seminar, featuring presentations from expert speakers and a ‘Test your protein knowledge’ quiz.

Visitors can also explore five concepts featuring Nutrilac® ProteinBoost. They include two new recipes – an ambient spoonable yoghurt, and an ambient drinking yoghurt which recently won a World Dairy Innovation award for best manufacturing/technology innovation. They demonstrate the potential for high-protein dairy products that do not require refrigeration, creating opportunities for convenience, long shelf life and easier transportation.

The three other recipe concepts are a 10% protein ice cream, a high-protein non-fat drinking yoghurt with fruit, and a 12% protein spoonable yoghurt.

Claus Bukbjerg Andersen, Senior Category Manager at Arla Foods Ingredients, said: The high-protein trend is as powerful as ever, but it’s evolving. Consumers now want high-quality, complete proteins – and they want them in products with masses of appeal. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for manufacturers to meet these dual needs. The ‘Go High in Protein’ demonstrates how our Nutrilac® ProteinBoost solutions can help you overcome technical challenges and create high-protein dairy products that stand out in an increasingly crowded market.”

JustMarkets: Demystifying of 5 Myths About Trading


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2024 – The world of online trading is as dynamic as the processes in the global economy and geopolitics. Some trends replace others, some assets lose their appeal, and some update historical value maximums. Given this, it is not surprising that there are a lot of myths in such a dynamic industry.

These misconceptions can prevent interested parties from delving into online trading processes and starting their exciting trading journey. They may be haunted by fears, doubts, or simply disbelief in the field of online trading. JustMarkets, a reliable multi-assets broker with worldwide recognition, is ready to debunk the myths that have spread around the online trading sphere. Here are the five most common myths about trading and the truth behind them.

JustMarkets Demystifying of 5 Myths About Trading

Myth 1: Need a Fortune to Start Trading

Everyone may have heard that trading is a rich man’s business. This field has nothing to do without tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, this is one of the biggest misconceptions about trading. Indeed, trading used to be considered a battlefield for large institutional investors, hedge funds, and billionaires. In 2024, things are completely different, thanks to the help of online brokers. The key to success in trading is not in the amount of capital but in knowledge, discipline, and emotional stability.

Modern brokers provide traders with a wide range of tools for effective trading with minimal capital. Leverage to increase the volume of transactions and potential earnings, fast order execution to implement a trading strategy, a wide range of tools to minimize risks, a demo account for practice, and educational resources.

Myth 2: Brokers Are Unregulated

Another common myth is that CFD brokers operate outside the legal framework and are not regulated by governments. However, this is not true when it comes to well-established global brokers. In today’s environment, CFD brokers strive to gain maximum trust from their clients and obtain multiple licenses to operate in different regions of the world.

Myth 3: Anyone Can Easily Earn Wealth with Trading

There is no doubt that each of us would like to solve all our financial problems and obligations in a week. However, the idea that trading is a shortcut to quick wealth is a dangerous misconception. Promises of immediate profits tempt people, but the reality is much more complex. Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme but detailed work that requires constant development, discipline, and mental stability.

The Forex market, in particular, can be volatile and unpredictable, meaning that profits and losses are part of the trading journey. Success in trading is achieved over time through consistent effort, discipline, analysis, and improvement of trading strategies. When starting a trading journey, it is important not to deceive yourself, hoping for quick and easy profits. Trading is like a business, like a job, requiring discipline and work.

Myth 4: One Trading Strategy Will Always Work

Another myth is that there is one “perfect” trading strategy that will guarantee long-term success. However, the truth is that markets are volatile, just like our lives. This means that trading approaches must be changed and improved depending on the current situation. What works in a trending market may not work in a range-bound market, and vice versa. Remember that financial markets reflect ordinary people’s real lives, psychology, and desires.

Successful traders often use a combination of strategies customized to their personal trading style and the current market situation.

Myth 5: Trading Is a Swift Way to Success

Many people think that trading is a quick way to success and wealth. But in reality, it is a journey that requires time, patience, and discipline. Trading is not about making quick profits, but a short process of developing a sustainable and effective strategy that works in the long term. Experienced traders know that success does not happen overnight. It requires the ability to learn from mistakes, manage emotions, and remain consistent in both wins and losses.

All in all, these myths are based on desire and a frivolous approach to trading, which must be eradicated before starting this exciting journey. Trading requires conscious decisions, rational thinking, and constant learning. It is important not to succumb to the myth of easy profits, but at the same time, do not be afraid of the markets and boldly go to meet them. With the right tools and knowledge, trading can be a rewarding and profitable experience.

Brokers aim to provide traders with the maximum amount of information, data, and insights. Information, knowledge, and the ability to manage them play a key role in making the right decisions. Brokers only provide technical and educational tools to achieve traders’ goals. The rest depends solely on the traders and the exciting twists and turns of the trading world.Hashtag: #JustMarkets #Trading #Finance #Economics #Selfeducation #Forex #Investing

German Chancellor Scholz in Central Asia: Rhenus boosts investments in the Trans-Caspian Transport Route


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2024 As part of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s trip to Central Asia, delegation member Tobias Bartz, CEO and Chairman of the Rhenus Group, is intensifying two significant projects in the region. In Samarkand, as the first in a series of initiatives, the agreement was signed to establish a joint venture with AO “Uztemir’yolkonteyner,” a subsidiary of the Uzbek Railways. Specific plans for a modern logistics center in Andijan are to be realized on this basis. In addition, Bartz signed a declaration of intent with the Kazakh company NC “Aktau Sea Commercial Port” JSC for the development of an intermodal terminal in the port of Aktau, Kazakhstan.

As a logistics service provider with global operations, the Rhenus Group is driving a large number of projects and investment plans in Central Asia. The company has had a presence there – in a region that is pivotal for the exchange of goods between Asia and Europe and plays a key role for the company – for almost 30 years. The visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who was accompanied by, among others, Tobias Bartz, CEO and Chairman of the Rhenus Group, underscores the growing importance of the economic ties between Germany and the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

“The Eurasian corridor is not only a trade route of international significance that contributes to the EU’s diversification strategy, but also a strategic lever for the global economy. Through our investments in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which are supported by the governments of both these states as well as Germany, we are boosting regional infrastructure and reinforcing the position of German industry and the local export trade in the global market,” says Tobias Bartz, emphasizing the point.

The Rhenus Group’s majority interest in the joint venture with the Uzbek Railways, which is planning a logistics center in Andijan, marks a pioneering project in the transport sector. In addition to developing an efficient container terminal in the port of Aktau on the Caspian Sea on the alternative route to the new Silk Road, a project that was launched in the presence of the German President in 2023, the Group of companies is driving further projects for terminals in Kazakhstan’s economic hubs.

These initiatives are complemented by strategic measures undertaken by the logistics service provider in the South Caucasus. Combined with a strong presence in Turkey, this will allow the creation of a seamless supply chain along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, known as the Middle Corridor between Europe and China via Central Asia.
