La Comisión Europea de Turismo destaca el fuerte crecimiento del turismo internacional durante la temporada de verano

BRUSELAS, November 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

El turismo en Europa continuó en la senda del crecimiento durante la temporada de verano de 2017. Los resultados positivos son un reflejo de la fuerza del sector y de las condiciones alentadoras de la economía en los principales mercados emisores.


Según el último informe de la Comisión Europea de Turismo "European Tourism 2017-Trends & Prospects" la llegada de turistas internacionales en Europa creció un 8%[1] durante los primeros 8 meses del año en comparación con el mismo periodo de 2016. La llegada de turistas internaciones aumentó en la mayor parte de países europeos (32 de 34) con la mitad de destinos disfrutando de un crecimiento superior al 10%.


"La demanda de turismo en Europa se encuentra en una trayectoria de crecimiento. Se espera que 2017 sea el octavo año consecutivo de crecimiento del sector pese a los retos geopolíticos y de seguridad. Para mantener esta tendencia es necesario que el sector público y privado unan esfuerzos paradesarrollar iniciativas sostenibles que fortalezcan la industria del turismo en Europa", comenta Eduardo Santander, director ejecutivo de la Comisión Europea de Turismo.


Islandia (+30%) mantiene su excelente momento pese a las preocupaciones acerca de la capacidad de alojamiento y las limitaciones de su infraestructura turística. Los destinos que en los últimos meses han tenido que hacer frente a percepciones de inseguridad consolidan su recuperación. Turquía (+26%) registra un crecimiento extraordinario gracias a la recuperación de los flujos emisores desde Rusia; mientras que Bélgica (+12%) también vio un crecimiento notable. Eslovenia, Serbia (ambos +19%), Malta(+17%) y Chipre (+15%) son los destinos que lideran el crecimiento en el sur de Europa y el Mediterráneo. El fuerte crecimiento en España (+10%) refleja la resistencia de la imagen del destino al ataque terrorista ocurrido en Barcelona en agosto.


LOS PRINCIPALES MERCADOS EMISORES EUROPEOS SIGUEN SIENDO CLAVE PARA EL CRECIMIENTO DEL SECTOR


Más de 3 de cada 4 destinos registran un aumento de turistas procedentes del Reino Unido en 2017. La caída del valor de la libra no ha disuadido a los británicos de viajar al extranjero. Los flujos emisores de Rusia hacia Europa comienzan a recuperarse tras años en descenso. De los 33 países que han reportado resultados, todos menos uno vieron una recuperación del mercado ruso. Turquía registró el mayor crecimiento (+800%) después de que Rusia levantara las restricciones de viajar a Turquía a sus ciudadanos.


Los destinos europeos también fueron testigos de un aumento sustancial en la llegada de turistas procedentes de China con un crecimiento total estimado en un 17%. El fortalecimiento de la economía china y la rápida expansión de la clase media siguen estimulando el turismo emisor. Pese al debilitamiento reciente del dólar, el valor de la moneda estadounidense frente al euro sigue alto lo que favorece los viajes transatlánticos cuyo aumento se estima en un 14% hasta la fecha. La llegada a Europa de viajeros procedentes de India también muestra un crecimiento sólido (+14%). La confianza de los consumidores y el incremento del consumo privado contribuyen a este crecimiento. Se espera que ambos factores sigan impulsando la demanda aumentando así la importancia de la India como mercado emisor hacia Europa.

Intelligent Transportation System Leads to First Test Bed 'K-City' for Connected Cars in South Korea

Penta Security Systems Inc. will head and monitor security systems for K-City, testing and certifying the safety of smart vehicles.
SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With the increasing prominence of smart and connected vehicles in Asia, South Korea is no stranger to the need for an intelligent transportation system (ITS), comprised of networks of smart roads and highways to communicate with the technology of connected and autonomous cars. Smart roads and highways allow for streamlined connectivity between a vehicle and surrounding vehicles as well as infrastructure and roadside units. This connectivity must function seamlessly to provide maximum efficiency and security. The first ever ITS project in Korea began in 2016 with smart roads set up in two major cities, Daejeon and Sejong. Consequently, Yeoju was added as the third ITS city in 2017 with the construction set to complete in December this year.
Penta Security Systems, a leading provider of web, IoT, and data security solutions and services, has set up and provided oversight on the security systems for all three cities by ensuring that its connected car security solution, AutoCrypt, protected vehicles, devices, and roadside units in the ITS from malicious traffic and tampering.
Following the successes of ITS and with data collected from smart roads and highways, K-City, a new test bed - the first of its kind in the country and second largest in the world - will open to both test and certify the safety of autonomous cars. Consequently, Penta Security received the greenlight to head the installation and operation of security systems for K-City, implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology as well as V2X security systems. This will ensure that communication between a vehicle and other vehicles (V2V, Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and infrastructure (V2I, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) through roadside units are properly secured and encrypted. Penta Security will play a critical role in testing autonomous vehicles for proper security implementation as part of the certification for K-City.
Chief Technology Officer of Penta Security Systems, Daniel ES Kim remarked, "One of the central challenges for autonomous vehicles is that if the cars are compromised through internal or external networks, it is no longer a technical issue, but an issue of human safety. Penta Security's cooperation in leading security operations at the new test bed means that not only will K-City test autonomous vehicles for their operational technology, but security will also be highlighted as a priority."
Penta Security holds a "Secure First, Then Connect" approach to IoT, prioritizing logic-based security before connectivity in order to provide comprehensive and effective security. South Korea's K-City, along with Penta Security's security implementations, is set to open for testing in 2018.
About Penta Security
 
Penta Security Systems Inc. is a leader in web, IoT, and data security solutions and services. With 20 years of IT security expertise in powering secured connections, Penta Security is the top cyber security vendor in Asia, as recognized by Frost & Sullivan, and APAC market share leader in the WAF industry.

Les collectes mondiales des créateurs atteignent un montant record de 9,2 milliards d'euros, révèle le rapport 2017 de la CISAC

NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE, France, November 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Les collectes mondiales ont atteint un nouveau montant record de 9,2 milliards d'euros sur l'année, soit une hausse de 6 % par rapport à l'année précédente, d'après les nouveaux chiffres publiés aujourd'hui par la Confédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Auteurs et Compositeurs (CISAC).
Pour afficher les PDF, cliquez ici :
Dans le secteur musical, les auteurs-compositeurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique, ont vu les collectes augmenter de 6,8 %, atteignant 8 milliards d'euros, grâce notamment à une hausse de 52 % des revenus numériques. Les droits liés aux œuvres audiovisuelles et littéraires ont également augmenté, tandis que les droits collectés pour les arts visuels et le spectacle vivant affichent un léger recul.
Les revenus issus des utilisations numériques de l'ensemble des répertoires ont quasiment triplé depuis 2012 et ont augmenté de 51,4 % en 2016, pour un montant légèrement inférieur à un milliard d'euros, ce qui représente le plus fort taux de croissance de ces cinq dernières années. Ces revenus sont générés en grande partie par les services de streaming avec abonnement. Avec un montant de 948 millions d'euros, le numérique ne représente toujours que 10,4 % des collectes mondiales, le développement de ce secteur étant notamment freiné par les faibles montants versés par les plateformes vidéo collaboratives en streaming.
Les chiffres sont publiés aujourd'hui dans le rapport 2017 de la CISAC sur les collectes mondiales, qui compile et analyse les données 2016 transmises par les sociétés membres de la CISAC, réparties dans 123 pays.
Le réseau mondial de la CISAC, qui regroupe 239 sociétés d'auteurs, délivre des licences aux utilisateurs et collecte des droits pour le compte de quatre millions de créateurs pour différents types d'utilisation : télévision, radio, musique de fond, musique live, numérique, copie privée et autres.
Introduisant le Rapport 2017, Gadi Oron, le Directeur Général de la CISAC, a déclaré : « Le rapport de cette année montre que le système de gestion collective des droits des créateurs est robuste, efficace et offre encore de belles perspectives de croissance. Les grands flux de revenus traditionnels, radio- et télédiffusion et prestations en direct en tête, restent stables et forts. Les revenus du numérique continuent leur envolée et sur certains marchés, supplantent déjà d'autres sources de revenus. Les chiffres que nous publions aujourd'hui reflètent les efforts incessants de nos sociétés, en vue de renforcer leur efficacité et innover et stimuler la croissance des revenus. »
Jean-Michel Jarre, le Président de la CISAC et pionnier de la musique électronique, a écrit : « Il s'agit d'une large branche de l'activité culturelle et économique, qui génère pas moins de 9 milliards d'euros au niveau international. Malgré leur croissance, les chiffres des collectes restent cependant bien loin du niveau qu'ils devraient atteindre. Les secteurs majeurs qui exploitent des contenus créatifs dévalorisent notre travail. Le 'transfert de la valeur' illustre parfaitement ce phénomène sur le marché numérique, où des plateformes telles que Youtube ne reversent que des miettes aux auteurs. À l'heure actuelle, réclamer aux gouvernements une solution au transfert de la valeur est une priorité absolue. »

Rocketship Education: A Real Alternative


Rocketship Education: A Real Alternative

A good education is the best way to ensure that your child has a bright future ahead of them; unfortunately, however, many public school-aged children are relegated to attending underperforming schools, based on the district that they reside in. Thankfully, Rocketship Education provides an alternative; if you’re unfamiliar with Rocketship Education, it is a network of public charter schools available to elementary-aged students.

These non-profit charter schools are aimed at low-income families, who would otherwise have to settle for schools in their district that doesn’t meet the children’s needs. Founded in 2006, Rocketship Education has made it a mission to provide children with personalized learning, which includes parental engagement, community organizations, and unique lesson plans.



Since opening its first school in San Jose, California, Rocketship Education has earned tremendous praise for helping students score well on state assessments, and for making charter schools a viable alternative for low-income families. In an effort to build on its success in California, Rocketship Education has opened charter schools in the Midwest and as of 2016, opened a school in Washinton, D.

Huawei continues hat-trick win at Asia's leading telecom industry awards

Huawei recognized for its contribution to drive innovation in 5G, Internet of Things / Machine-to-Machine and Smart City 

SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei today announced it received top honours in three categories, namely 5G Innovation of the Year, Internet-of-Things (IoT) / Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Solution Innovation of the Year and Smart City Innovation of the Year, at the 2017 Telecom Asia Readers' Choice & Innovation Awards. Now in its 10th edition, the annual awards ceremony took place yesterday at the Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay.
Lim Chee Siong, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Huawei Southern Pacific Region, said, "The recognition from the industry's customers continues to push us to build a Better Connected World. Moving forward, we will double our efforts to deliver breakthroughs in the industry, and for the businesses our customers operate in, to ensure we are in the best position to enable our customers' digital transformation."
"Huawei repeats its 2016 total again this year," said Stefan Hammond, Managing Editor, Telecom Asia. "The firm's winning categories -- 5G, IoT/M2M Solution and Smart City Innovation of the Year -- reflect important technologies in the telecom landscape of 2017, and beyond."
5G Innovation of the Year Award
Huawei was voted top in this category for its 5G New Radio and New Use Cases with Verification. The award submission entry elaborates how Huawei spearheaded the completion of China's second-phase 5G radio technology test by adopting 5G New Radio, Massive MIMO, and other technologies. To exemplify this technological capability, for example, a high definition (HD) movie can be downloaded in less than one second.
Huawei was the first to provide end-to-end (E2E) isolated network slices from 5G NR to networks using one set of telecom infrastructure. The test results far exceeded 5G requirements of multiple vertical industries, as defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The test, which was conducted in Beijing, saw over 100 channels of 4K video streamed smoothly in vehicle-mounted mobile scenarios. Huawei also recently updated the industry record of 0.3 milliseconds one-way latency over the air interface with a reliability of over 99.999% during test scenarios. This is the third consecutive year that Huawei has been recognized by readers in this category.
IoT/M2M Solution Innovation of the Year Award
This category recognizes Huawei's Ocean Connect IoT Platform enabling Green IoT Solutions. Huawei Ocean Connect IoT Platform is an E2E innovation solution based on IoT platform, and access agnostic, with deep support for device management of Low Power Wireless Access (LPWA) networks. The platform supports various global and local partner ecosystem devices which helps operators, enterprises, industry partners to build an E2E IoT Tested, and ready to deploy solutions.
In line with Huawei IoT "1+2+1" strategy (1 platform, 2 access network and 1 chipset with LiteOS). This can help application development quicker, simplify secure access of devices, and guarantee the quality of network through connectivity management. It also enables seamless interconnection with worldwide partners and offers one-stop services in order to create greener smart cities, and reduces operational cost through several solutions including but not limited to Smart City and Utility Application cases, Connected City Lighting Solution, Smart Meter Solution and Smart Parking Solution. Huawei has been awarded in this category for a second consecutive year.
Smart City Innovation of the Year
The third award, giving Huawei the 'hat-trick', is the Smart City Innovation of the Year. Huawei Smart City Solution incorporates cloud data center, broadband and IoT network, and ICT capability disclosure, big data, geographic information system (GIS) and application enabling platform, along with six security mechanisms, physical, network, host, virtualization, application and data. The solution is a comprehensive system that features top-level design, integration, operations, service applications, and new ICT infrastructure.

MIAMI, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand Love is an overall score measuring the strength of the Consumer-Brand relationship.
"The Most Loved Brands have developed high levels of trust, inspiring consumers to further endorse these Brands.  It is a perpetual process and in today's market, word-of-mouth marketing is an extremely powerful endorsement", said Mike Weil, President, Global Automotive Research and Insights at Insights 4 Less, LLC. "We continue to see a very strong relationship between Brand Love and Sales.  Our insights are designed to help marketers understand why their Brand sells at the current level as well as providing an insightful look into the future and opportunities for greater market success".

  • Luxury Brands BMW (42.5%), Lexus (40%), and Mercedes-Benz (35.8%) rank near the top of the second quartile.  Nissan (42.1%) ranks in the top five of Non-Luxury Brands.
