BRASELTON, Georgia, 7 de septiembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura barrió hoy en el TireRack.com Grand Prix de seis horas en Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, cuando Helio Castroneves y Ricky Taylor pilotaron su prototipo Acura ARX-05 para ganar los honores generales, mientras el trío de Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry y Shinya Michimi llevaron su Acura NSX GT3 Evo a la victoria en la clase GTD.

Acura swept the six-hour TireRack.com Grand Prix at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta today, as Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor piloted their Acura ARX-05 prototype to the overall honors, while the trio of Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi took their Acura NSX GT3 Evo to the win in the GTD class.

El triunfo es la primera «barrida de fin de semana» general para Acura en dos temporadas y media de competencia de múltiple clase para el fabricante en el Campeonato IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar; y provisionalmente sitúa a Acura, Meyer Shank Racing y la formación de pilotos de temporada completa de Farnbacher y McMurry a la cabeza de los campeonatos por puntos de la GTD.

Acura Team Penske
Contraatacando tras una penalidad a principios de la carrera por un par de violaciones en el carril de los pits durante la primera ronda de paredes en los pits, Castroneves y Taylor se recuperaron de un déficit de una vuelta en la marca de una hora para recobrar la vuelta de líder al finalizar la segunda hora. El par se unió a la batalla por la victoria en la carrera en su Acura Team Penske ARX-05 #7 en las dos horas últimas. Faltando solo una hora, Taylor usó el tráfico lento para pasar a su compañero de equipo Dane Cameron en el Acura #6 y ganar una ventaja de 14 segundos sobre el campo.

El ARX-05 #6 de Cameron y Juan Pablo Montoya tuvo una carrera igual de agitada, con un contacto en el inicio de la carrera que hizo que el auto de Cameron derrapara. Recuperándose rápidamente, Cameron se situó en el segundo lugar a los 30 minutos del inicio de la competencia. La pareja siguió buscando la victoria hasta los últimos minutos de la carrera, cuando el contacto con un Ferrari de la clase GTD que regresaba al circuito después de patinar y salir de la pista causó un gran daño al Acura #6, dejándolo fuera de la competencia.

La colisión dio lugar a un aviso de precaución en toda la pista y borró una ventaja de siete segundos para Castroneves. Pero se mantuvo en las dos vueltas finales de carrera bajo bandera verde y él y Taylor lograron combinados el segundo triunfo consecutivo de 2020, tras su victoria del mes pasado en Road America.

Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo
En la siempre competitiva división GTD para autos de producción en serie, Farnbacher, McMurry y Michimi, la adición de carreras de resistencia, se impusieron en una típica batalla de varios fabricantes para alcanzar la victoria en la clase, con un fuerte doble período hasta la meta por el defensor del título, Farnbacher, que selló la victoria para el Acura NSX GT3 Evo del trío, la cual también fue la primera victoria de 2020 para McMurry, de 22 años, en su 150º inicio de carrera de la IMSA.

Combinado con tres finales de podio a principios de esta temporada, Acura ahora está a la cabeza del Campeonato de Fabricantes de la GTD por ocho puntos después de seis carreras en 2020. Farnbacher y McMurry lideran la competencia por el título de pilotos por 12 puntos, y Meyer Shank Racing también tiene una ventaja de 12 puntos en el campeonato de equipos.

El Heinricher Racing #57 con MSR Acura de Alvaro Parente, Misha Goikhberg y Trent Hindman encontró dificultades al inicio, después de un par de excusiones fuera de la pista en la primera hora. Un derrape adicional en la segunda hora causó daños a la parte delantera de la carrocería del Acura #57, pero el trío perseveró a un final en el sexto lugar.

Lo que viene
El Campeonato WeatherTech SportsCar de 2020 se dirige a la Pista de Carreras de Autos Deportivos de Mid-Ohio en tres semanas, para el Desafío de Autos Deportivos de Acura en Mid-Ohio, el 26 y 27 de septiembre.

Ted Klaus (presidente de Honda Performance Development) sobre la doble victoria de hoy para Acura: «Este es un gran día para Acura y HPD, y para todos los asociados que trabajan duro en nuestros programas de la IMSA, nuestros excelentes pilotos y equipos asociados. También es un gran premio para [el director de la Marca de Acura] Jon Ikeda, que ha dirigido el regreso de Acura a la competencia de la IMSA mientras probamos que la marca es el hogar del Alto Rendimiento Alcanzado con Precisión. Felicitaciones a todos en Acura Team Penske y Meyer Shank Racing, y mantengamos el impulso al dirigirnos a nuestra carrera ‘en casa’ en Mid-Ohio este mes».

Ricky Taylor (Acura Team Penske ARX-05 #7), ganador de la carrera, 2ª victoria consecutiva de 2020: «Hemos estado contraatacando todo el año, hoy solo fue una sinopsis de nuestra temporada. Salimos de una desventaja de una vuelta y un inicio de la carrera que fue una pesadilla total, pero todos hemos cometido errores, y la recuperación de Helio fue brillante. Cuando se enoja, ¡cuidado! Se batió muy duro. Volvimos al frente, y logró que al final se viera fácil. Acura, HPD y Team Penske, es una combinación impresionante».

Helio Castroneves (Acura Team Penske ARX-05 #7) ganador de la carrera, 2ª victoria consecutiva de 2020: «Cometí un error al principio, lamentablemente. Me gusta pensar que manejo como un chico de 20 años, pero a veces también cometo los errores de un chico de 20 años. Por suerte, [el presidente del equipo] Tim Cindric siempre es fenomenal, y tomó todas las decisiones correctas para devolvernos a la carrera, y tuvimos la [bandera de precaución] amarilla que funcionó a nuestro favor. Por último, nos pusimos a la cabeza gracias a este hombre [Taylor]. Fue un trabajo excelente de todos: Acura, HPD y Team Penske. Dos seguidas, bebé, busquemos más».

Mario Farnbacher (Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo #86) ganador de la GTD, primera victoria de 2020, lidera el campeonato de pilotos de la GTD después de seis carreras: «Esta victoria es un gran alivio para nosotros, es algo que hemos estado muy cerca de alcanzar pero no podíamos lograr. El equipo se esforzó hoy de verdad en las paradas en los pits. Tuvimos muy mala suerte en la [apertura de la temporada] Rolex 24, y progresivamente hemos estado trabajando muy duro para seguir reuniendo puntos para el campeonato. Ahora, alcanzar por fin la victoria es una sensación magnífica. Hay mucha gente trabajando tras bastidores, HPD, Acura, MSR, y todos nos han ayudado a llegar aquí».

Matt McMurry (Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo #86), ganador de la GTD, primera victoria de 2020, lidera el campeonato de pilotos de la GTD después de seis carreras, hizo su 150º inicio de carrera en la competencia de la IMSA hoy: «Hoy los chicos de MSR hicieron todo lo correcto y el equipo estuvo asombroso: todas nuestras paradas en los pits fueron superrápidas. Shinya [Michimi] empezó la carrera con verdadera fuerza y me puso en una buena posición para cuando tenía que entrar en el auto, y Mario terminó perfectamente. Conseguir una victoria en mi 150º inicio de carrera es también una sensación muy buena. Muchas gracias a todos en MSR, HPD y Acura por darnos un auto magnífico hoy».

Mike Shank (dueño de la escudería Meyer Shank Racing): «Esta fue una gran victoria para nosotros en muchos sentidos. Hemos estado muy cerca de tener una victoria [este año] y no podíamos conseguirla. Así que esta victoria, especialmente en un evento de resistencia, fue realmente buena para nosotros. Esta victoria también nos coloca en una buena posición en el campeonato. Nos hemos mantenido constantes en nuestros finales, lo cal nos ayudará a la larga. Shinya hizo un gran trabajo considerando que no ha estado en el auto desde enero. Matt sigue mostrando mejoras en cada carrera y Mario hizo lo que necesitaba para alzarse con el triunfo al final. Estoy muy orgulloso de estos chicos, especialmente del equipo que sencillamente hoy bateó de jonrón en las paradas en los pits. Estoy muy contento con el resultado de hoy».

Advent of advanced technology in the manufacturing process, surge in automotive production & sales across different vehicle segments, and increase in competition among tire manufacturers have boosted the growth of the global automotive tire market. On the contrary, growing market of retreading tires and volatile price of raw materials hinder the market. However, rapid improvements in technology and fuel efficiency and safety concerns would open new opportunities for the market players.

COVID-19 scenario: The emergence of COVID-19 has hugely affected the global automotive tire industry.

  • According to the COVID-19 impact assessment presented by LMC Automotive Limited, around 78% of companies lack enough staff to run full production lines.
  • As the majority of the auto supply chain is connected to China, it would impact negatively on the sale of the forklift market.
  • However, government relief funds are expected to minimize the overall impact on market growth.

All season segment dominated the market

By type, the all-season segment held the lion’s share in 2019, contributing to more than 90% of the global automotive tire market, as these tires have stable cornering and strong traction in both wet and dry conditions. However, the winter segment would manifest the fastest CAGR of 6.0% during the study period, owing to the latest innovation & development in winter tire fabrication and manufacturing process and rise in the sale of the winter tires across the globe.

Electric vehicle segment to portray the highest CAGR through 2027

By vehicle type, the electric vehicle segment is projected to portray the highest CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. This is owing to rise in urbanization and increase in attractive offers on electric vehicles from various governments. However, the passenger car segment held the largest share in 2019, contributing to nearly three-fourths of the global automotive tire market, owing to rise in disposable income in countries such as India and China and higher sales across the globe.

North America, followed by Europe and North America, held the largest share

The global automotive tire market across Asia-Pacific held the largest share in 2019, accounting for more than two-fifths of the market. Moreover, the region is expected to manifest the highest CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period, owing to ongoing increased demand for radial tires due to improved road infrastructure in countries such as China, India, and Japan. The market across North America is expected to register a CAGR of 3.9% through 2027.

The win is the first overall «weekend sweep» for Acura in two and a half seasons of multi-class competition for the manufacturer in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship; and provisionally vaults Acura, Meyer Shank Racing and the full-season driver lineup of Farnbacher and McMurry to the top of the GTD points championships.

Acura Team Penske
Fighting back from an early-race penalty for a pair of pit lane violations during the first round of pit stops, Castroneves and Taylor recovered from a one-lap deficit to the field at the one-hour mark to regain the lead lap by the end of the second hour.  The pair joined the battle for the race victory in their #7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05 in the final two hours.  With just over an hour remaining, Taylor used lapped traffic to pass his teammate Dane Cameron in the #6 Acura and eventually build a 14-second lead over the field.

The #6 ARX-05 of Cameron and Juan Pablo Montoya had an equally fraught race, with contact at the race start resulting in a spin for Cameron.  Quickly recovering, Cameron was up to second place just 30 minutes into the contest. The pair remained in the hunt for the victory until the final minutes of the race, when contact with a GTD-class Ferrari that was returning to the circuit after sliding off course resulted in heavy damage to the #6 Acura, ending their day.

The crash resulted in a full-course caution and erased a seven-second lead for Castroneves. But he held on for the final two laps of green-flag racing as he and Taylor combined for the second consecutive win of 2020, following their victory last month at Road America.

Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo
In the always competitive GTD division for production-based cars, Farnbacher, McMurry and endurance-race addition Michimi prevailed in a typical multi-manufacturer battle for the class victory, with a strong double-stint to the finish by defending champion Farnbacher sealing the victory for the trio’s Acura NSX GT3 Evo, which also marked the first victory of 2020 for the 22-year-old McMurry in his 150th IMSA race start.

Combined with a trio of podium finishes earlier this season, Acura now leads the GTD Manufacturers’ Championship by eight points after six races in 2020.  Farnbacher and McMurry lead the drivers’ title chase by 12 points, and Meyer Shank Racing also has a 12-point lead in the teams’ championship.

The #57 Heinricher Racing with MSR Acura of Alvaro Parente, Misha Goikhberg and Trent Hindman encountered early difficulties after a pair of off-course excursions in the opening hour.  An additional spin in the second hour resulted in damage to the front bodywork of the #57 Acura, but the trio persevered to a sixth-place finish.

The 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next heads to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in three weeks-time, for the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio, on September 26-27.

Quotes
Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s double victory for Acura: «This is a great day for Acura and HPD, and for all the hardworking associates on our IMSA programs, our excellent drivers and partner teams.  This is also a great reward for [Acura Brand Officer] Jon Ikeda, who has spearheaded the return of Acura to IMSA competition as we prove the brand is the home of Precision Crafted Performance.  Congratulations to everyone at Acura Team Penske and Meyer Shank Racing, and let’s keep it up as we head to our ‘home’ race at Mid-Ohio later this month.»

Ricky Taylor (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: «We’ve been fighting back all year, today was just a synopsis of our season.  Coming from a lap down and a complete nightmare of a start of the race, but we’ve all made mistakes, and Helio’s recovery was brilliant.  When he’s angry, look out!  He fought back so hard.  We got back to the front, and he made it look easy at the end.  Acura, HPD and Team Penske, it’s an awesome combination.»

Helio Castroneves (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: «I made a mistake at the beginning, unfortunately.  I like to think I drive like a 20-year-old, but sometimes I make the mistakes of a 20-year-old, too!  Thankfully, [team president] Tim Cindric is always cool, and made all the right calls to get us back in the race, and we got the yellow [caution flag] that worked in our favor.  Finally, we got in the lead thanks to this guy [Taylor].  It was just a great job from everyone: Acura, HPD and Team Penske.  Two in a row, baby, let’s go for more.»

Mario Farnbacher (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races: «This win is such a relief for us, it’s something that we’ve come so close to getting but just couldn’t quite get there. The crew really worked their asses off during the pit stops today. We were really unlucky during the [season opening] Rolex 24, and we have progressively been working really hard to keep collecting points for the championship. Now, to finally get the victory it’s such a good feeling. There’s so many people working behind the scenes, HPD, Acura, MSR, that have all helped us to get here.»

Matt McMurry (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races, made his 150th race start in IMSA competition today: «Today the MSR guys just did everything right and the crew did so awesome – all of our pit stops were super-fast. Shinya [Michimi] started the race off really strong and put me in a good position for when I had to get in the car, and Mario finished perfectly. To get a win on my 150th race start is a pretty good feeling too. A big thank you to everyone at MSR, HPD and Acura for giving us a great car today.»

Mike Shank (team owner, Meyer Shank Racing): «This was a big win for us in many ways. We’ve come so close to getting a win [this year] and we just couldn’t make it happen. So this win, especially during an endurance event, was really good for us. This win also puts us in a good position in the championship. We’ve been staying consistent with our finishes which will help us in the long run. Shinya did a great job considering he has not been in the car since January. Matt continues to show improvements each race and Mario did what he needed to do to bring it home in the end. I’m really proud of these guys, especially the crew who just knocked it out of the park on pit stops today. I’m really happy with the result today.»

BRASELTON, Ga., Sept. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Acura swept the six-hour TireRack.com Grand Prix at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta today, as Helio Castroneves and Ricky Taylor piloted their Acura ARX-05 prototype to the overall honors, while the trio of Mario Farnbacher, Matt McMurry and Shinya Michimi took their Acura NSX GT3 Evo to the win in the GTD class.

The win is the first overall «weekend sweep» for Acura in two and a half seasons of multi-class competition for the manufacturer in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship; and provisionally vaults Acura, Meyer Shank Racing and the full-season driver lineup of Farnbacher and McMurry to the top of the GTD points championships.

Acura Team Penske
Fighting back from an early-race penalty for a pair of pit lane violations during the first round of pit stops, Castroneves and Taylor recovered from a one-lap deficit to the field at the one-hour mark to regain the lead lap by the end of the second hour.  The pair joined the battle for the race victory in their #7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05 in the final two hours.  With just over an hour remaining, Taylor used lapped traffic to pass his teammate Dane Cameron in the #6 Acura and eventually build a 14-second lead over the field.

The #6 ARX-05 of Cameron and Juan Pablo Montoya had an equally fraught race, with contact at the race start resulting in a spin for Cameron.  Quickly recovering, Cameron was up to second place just 30 minutes into the contest. The pair remained in the hunt for the victory until the final minutes of the race, when contact with a GTD-class Ferrari that was returning to the circuit after sliding off course resulted in heavy damage to the #6 Acura, ending their day.

The crash resulted in a full-course caution and erased a seven-second lead for Castroneves. But he held on for the final two laps of green-flag racing as he and Taylor combined for the second consecutive win of 2020, following their victory last month at Road America.

Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo
In the always competitive GTD division for production-based cars, Farnbacher, McMurry and endurance-race addition Michimi prevailed in a typical multi-manufacturer battle for the class victory, with a strong double-stint to the finish by defending champion Farnbacher sealing the victory for the trio’s Acura NSX GT3 Evo, which also marked the first victory of 2020 for the 22-year-old McMurry in his 150th IMSA race start.

Combined with a trio of podium finishes earlier this season, Acura now leads the GTD Manufacturers’ Championship by eight points after six races in 2020.  Farnbacher and McMurry lead the drivers’ title chase by 12 points, and Meyer Shank Racing also has a 12-point lead in the teams’ championship.

The #57 Heinricher Racing with MSR Acura of Alvaro Parente, Misha Goikhberg and Trent Hindman encountered early difficulties after a pair of off-course excursions in the opening hour.  An additional spin in the second hour resulted in damage to the front bodywork of the #57 Acura, but the trio persevered to a sixth-place finish.

Next
The 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next heads to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in three weeks-time, for the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio, on September 26-27.

Quotes
Ted Klaus (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s double victory for Acura: «This is a great day for Acura and HPD, and for all the hardworking associates on our IMSA programs, our excellent drivers and partner teams.  This is also a great reward for [Acura Brand Officer] Jon Ikeda, who has spearheaded the return of Acura to IMSA competition as we prove the brand is the home of Precision Crafted Performance.  Congratulations to everyone at Acura Team Penske and Meyer Shank Racing, and let’s keep it up as we head to our ‘home’ race at Mid-Ohio later this month.»

Ricky Taylor (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: «We’ve been fighting back all year, today was just a synopsis of our season.  Coming from a lap down and a complete nightmare of a start of the race, but we’ve all made mistakes, and Helio’s recovery was brilliant.  When he’s angry, look out!  He fought back so hard.  We got back to the front, and he made it look easy at the end.  Acura, HPD and Team Penske, it’s an awesome combination.»

Helio Castroneves (#7 Acura Team Penske ARX-05) race winner, 2nd consecutive victory of 2020: «I made a mistake at the beginning, unfortunately.  I like to think I drive like a 20-year-old, but sometimes I make the mistakes of a 20-year-old, too!  Thankfully, [team president] Tim Cindric is always cool, and made all the right calls to get us back in the race, and we got the yellow [caution flag] that worked in our favor.  Finally, we got in the lead thanks to this guy [Taylor].  It was just a great job from everyone: Acura, HPD and Team Penske.  Two in a row, baby, let’s go for more.»

Mario Farnbacher (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races: «This win is such a relief for us, it’s something that we’ve come so close to getting but just couldn’t quite get there. The crew really worked their asses off during the pit stops today. We were really unlucky during the [season opening] Rolex 24, and we have progressively been working really hard to keep collecting points for the championship. Now, to finally get the victory it’s such a good feeling. There’s so many people working behind the scenes, HPD, Acura, MSR, that have all helped us to get here.»

Matt McMurry (#86 Meyer Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo) GTD winner, first win of 2020, leads the GTD drivers’ championship after six races, made his 150th race start in IMSA competition today: «Today the MSR guys just did everything right and the crew did so awesome – all of our pit stops were super-fast. Shinya [Michimi] started the race off really strong and put me in a good position for when I had to get in the car, and Mario finished perfectly. To get a win on my 150th race start is a pretty good feeling too. A big thank you to everyone at MSR, HPD and Acura for giving us a great car today.»

Mike Shank (team owner, Meyer Shank Racing): «This was a big win for us in many ways. We’ve come so close to getting a win [this year] and we just couldn’t make it happen. So this win, especially during an endurance event, was really good for us. This win also puts us in a good position in the championship. We’ve been staying consistent with our finishes which will help us in the long run. Shinya did a great job considering he has not been in the car since January. Matt continues to show improvements each race and Mario did what he needed to do to bring it home in the end. I’m really proud of these guys, especially the crew who just knocked it out of the park on pit stops today. I’m really happy with the result today.»

Announcing the First Ningxia Inbound Tour Competition

YINCHUAN, China, Sept. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In order to better expand Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region’s inbound tourism market, build Ningxia’s cultural tourism industry presence, and build Ningxia into an international tourism destination in western China, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region will run the «Tour Ningxia: The Heart of China» inbound tour competition from September…

YINCHUAN, China, Sept. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In order to better expand Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region’s inbound tourism market, build Ningxia’s cultural tourism industry presence, and build Ningxia into an international tourism destination in western China, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region will run the «Tour Ningxia: The Heart of China» inbound tour competition from September 5 to October 22. The competition aims to raise the levels of tourism coming from other parts of China and abroad so they can experience Ningxia’s unique landscapes and ancient cultural sites.

This competition is open to domestic and foreign travel agents, travel product professionals, and private tourists and tourist groups. It consists of six parts: Activity release; product collection; product primary evaluation; product polishing; final evaluation; and experience. The competition collects products in three categories: Leisure and health; history and culture; and looking up to the stars.

For the experience evaluation, media representatives from the local area, other provinces, and other countries will be invited to report on the whole process. Tourism experts and the general public will also be able to participate.

Holding this competition with COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in mind will develop the innovation of the domestic and international tourism market. It is an effective carrier to expand the large-scale cultural tourism promotion activity of Ningxia to overseas markets, and also a concrete action to make up for the lack of openness and development of Ningxia’s culture and tourism, according to Mingxia Zhao, deputy director-general of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

Three types of awards will be given. Best Route Product comes with an award of 20,000 Chinese yuan, the Distinctive Route Product comes with 10,000 yuan, and Excellent Organization Award recipients will earn medals. All winning products will become the main promotional products for overseas tourism marketing over the next three years.

An important stop on the Silk Road, Ningxia plays an important part in history.

HUNT VALLEY, Md., Sept. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, McCormick® Grill Mates® visited three of America’s top 15 Labor Day weekend RV destinations1 to surprise and ask outdoor enthusiasts, «RV Grilling Yet?» There has been a high demand for RV rentals leading up this Labor Day weekend, with RV reservations up 50 percent according to RVshare, the first and largest peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace.2 The one-day only pop-ups provided RV travelers and campers with everything they needed to make a great tasting meal on-the-road. 

Close to 1,500 grab-n-go grilling kits were safely distributed to travelers over the course of the day. They were a huge hit amongst consumers who were excited to try the exclusive Grill Mates all-purpose seasoning blends. They also received essential grilling tools, recipes, and tips.3

Within hours, bags were quickly distributed to a steady stream of happy campers, who then set out for their Labor Day weekend plans, well-equipped to fire up the grill. Even a select few lucky travelers received golden ticket items – redeemable for future Kampgrounds of America (KOA) stays, portable grills and coolers, grilling thermometers, and more.

KOA, the world’s largest system of open-to-the-public campgrounds, has reported that camping and road trips are likely a re-entry point for a third of leisure travelers as restrictions are lifted, even among those who have never camped before.  Knowing RV rentals and camping have emerged as a cultural phenomenon as families look for safe, cost-effective, and fun ways to travel and explore America’s natural beauty, Grill Mates was excited to meet fans near these national parks:

  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Cherokee KOA)
  • Rocky Mountain National Park (Fort Collins KOA)
  • Glacier National Park (West Glacier KOA)

«More than ever, families cherish special moments together during these unprecedented times,» said Jill Pratt, Chief Marketing Excellence Officer at McCormick. «This Labor Day weekend, we loaded up the RV and set out with one important mission, and that was to bring the perfect flavor to grills across America’s iconic campgrounds. We wanted to ensure that every griller, expert or first-timer, had the tools and spices they need to confidently cook a delicious meal this holiday.»

This was the first and only time this year for grillers to get their hands on exclusive new McCormick Grill Mates seasonings.  Made especially for grilling, these versatile blends contain high-quality spices that can be used to easily and quickly season a variety of meats and vegetables.

The exclusive Labor Day weekend grilling seasonings included:

  • McCormick® Grill Mates® Smoked Paprika & Onion with Garlic & Pepper
  • McCormick® Grill Mates® Cracked Pepper & Garlic with Sea Salt
  • McCormick® Grill Mates® Garlic & Crushed Herbs with Salt & Pepper

NUEVA YORK, 04 September 2020

NUEVA YORK, 04 September 2020 /PRNewswire Policy/ — Para la cantante y compositora cubana Eme Alfonso el 2020 prometía ser un año de gloria. Había trabajado duro en 2019 para preparar lo que debía ser un tiempo de recoger el fruto de meses de esfuerzo.

“¡Iba a hacer muchos conciertos en vivo, muchas giras, muchos festivales! Así de un día para otro, después invertir tanto tiempo y esfuerzo llegó la COVID-19. Nada de conciertos nada de giras, nada de viajes, cero trabajo. No tenía un plan B.”

Alfonso, quien es una de las voces abanderadas de la World Music en Cuba, sintió que los efectos trascendían el plano estrictamente profesional. “Fue duro entender lo que estaba pasando, que iba a durar mucho más tiempo de lo que se imaginaba y que era mucho más serio de lo que se pensaba…”

Un problema de impacto global

Como para Eme, la llegada de la COVID significó un golpe para artistas de todo el mundo. El impacto en la producción, distribución y consumo de los bienes culturales ha tenido efectos en la economía creativa y ha revelado el verdadero valor de la cultura para la humanidad.

“…la gente necesita la cultura ahora más que nunca. La cultura nos hace resilientes, nos da esperanza, nos recuerda que no estamos solos”, afirmaba en abril de este año, Ernesto Ottone, subdirector general de cultura de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO).

Pero los efectos de la Covid-19 sobre la cultura trascienden el valor simbólico. Por citar dos ejemplos, las pérdidas en la industria cinematográfica registradas hasta mayo ascendían a 10.000 millones de dólares estadounidenses; mientras que el impacto en el sector turístico no es menor, pues el 40% de los ingresos del turismo en el mundo corresponden al turismo cultural, según cifras publicadas en el semanario Cultura y COVID-19 de la UNESCO.

La pandemia causada por la enfermedad sacude también las bases de la cultura. En la República Dominicana, la muerte de Jesús Minier, uno de los principales portadores de las tradiciones de la Cofradía del Espíritu Santo de los Congos de Villa Mella hizo sonar las alertas sobre la pérdida física de ancianos de grupos originarios y cofradías, a causa de la enfermedad.

Los efectos han alcanzado toda la pirámide de producción cultural y para enfrentar la crisis los artistas han acudido a su arsenal de resiliencia y creatividad.

Cooperación e innovación para tejer respuestas desde la cultura

Los meses de confinamiento han mostrado el poder de la cultura para sanar y calmar ansiedades. Creadores y público han encontrado alternativas para continuar conectados aun medio de esta situación

A mediados de julio, los seguidores en redes sociales del Festival Havana World Music (HWM) fueron partícipes, desde sus casas, de la VI edición del concurso musical Primera Base dedicado a artistas emergentes, que auspicia ese Festival, creado y organizado por Eme Alfonso.

Días después, la mundialmente conocida cantante cubana Daymée Arocena dedicaba su show radial mensual en Worldwide FM a las bandas y DJs triunfadores del concurso.

La cooperación entre artistas a través de plataformas online ha sido, precisamente, una de las formas encontradas para reinventar la creación y circulación de la producción artística.

Al intervenir en una reunión online de Ministros de Cultura, convocada por la UNESCO en abril de este año, el titular cubano aseguró que «asistimos a un verdadero renacimiento de la creación y la participación solidaria», al referirse a esas redes de cooperación que han emergido. Destacó los conciertos online, los recitales de poesía vía internet y las donaciones de libros a hospitales y centros de aislamiento, entre otras iniciativas desplegadas para suplir la necesidad de acceso a la creación artística y asegurar la vitalidad de la cultura.

El movimiento ResiliArt en el futuro los artistas y su obra

El pasado 15 de abril la UNESCO lanzó el movimiento ResiliArt, una serie de debates en línea que han convocado a profesionales del sector cultural en todo el mundo para reflexionar sobre las respuestas que han emergido para mantener la cultura viva, de manera sostenible durante la actual crisis sanitaria.
