SEATTLE, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In recent months, REI adventure travel has engaged with hundreds of co-op members who wish to plan safe and responsible active vacations. To meet this demand, the co-op added 17 new itineraries in the United States and more departure dates for its most popular adventures. Whatever someone’s activity interest, ability or available time, there are now more opportunities for hiking and cycling, extended weekend adventures, women’s and family travel, and more.

«We restarted our domestic multiday adventures trips last September and combined with encouraging news around vaccination availability, it’s clear our guests long to explore,» said Cynthia Dunbar, REI adventure travel director of sales, service and operations. «Sales for our domestic trips are up by nearly 10 percent to 2019, which was one our strongest years in our nearly 35-year history.»

With more than 100 itineraries across the United States, REI is the largest operator of adventure travel tours in the country. In addition, REI continues to diversify with expansion in hiking, backpacking, cycling, women’s, Under 35, families, and weekend adventures. The most recent introductions include:

  • San Juan Islands Family Kayak: Over three days, paddle the Cascadia Marine Trail; watch for sea lion, otter, and countless marine and wildlife species; learn about the native Salish tribe; and camp in a private setting with guide-prepared meals.
  • San Juan Islands Women’s Cycling Weekend: Delight one’s senses on a four-day women’s camping, cycling and culinary adventure on San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands. Guests may select an eBike at no additional fee for rides through rolling hillsides, farmlands and forests.

A five-day Rocky Mountain National Park Family Adventure was also introduced.
  • Yosemite Backpacking Half Dome–5 Day: Building on the popularity of REI’s Yosemite trips, the co-op introduced a five-day itinerary so guests have added time to explore the beauty of the backcountry after ascending the iconic Half Dome. Today, REI has 15 Yosemite adventures, including trips designed for families, women, travelers aged 35 years and younger, and those who prefer to sleep in a lodge versus a tent. 

«Our focus to design trips in the backcountry and away from high tourist areas has long resonated with guests. Presently, our most popular hiking and backpacking destinations are in Zion and Bryce, Yellowstone, Arizona’s Sedona and Superstition Mountains, and along the Pacific Coast Trail,» added Dunbar.

To ensure traveler confidence, REI examined its entire trip assortment to ensure its operations meet health and safety guidelines, and added new policies to ensure the health and well-being of all travelers. REI also lowered the minimum guest number on every private departure trip where groups of four or more travelers receive the same pricing per person as REI’s regular trips. For guests who prefer to plan a vacation over a longer timeline, departure dates for 2022 are also available.

Sony Field Tests Show ATSC 3.0 TV Broadcasting To Vehicles Is Ideal For Solid Reception In Difficult «On The Move» Conditions

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Newly released field testing done by Sony Electronics Inc. demonstrates the real-world advantages of robust next-generation TV broadcasting now being rolled out across the USA. The first substantial upgrade in local station broadcasting in more than two decades, named ATSC 3.0 or NEXTGEN TV, allows a TV station to custom tailor their broadcast to simultaneously reach different types of viewers on a variety of devices – including those in moving…

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Newly released field testing done by Sony Electronics Inc. demonstrates the real-world advantages of robust next-generation TV broadcasting now being rolled out across the USA. The first substantial upgrade in local station broadcasting in more than two decades, named ATSC 3.0 or NEXTGEN TV, allows a TV station to custom tailor their broadcast to simultaneously reach different types of viewers on a variety of devices – including those in moving vehicles. And while robust passenger infotainment is one potential benefit, another more substantial opportunity exists for local TV stations to easily transmit software updates and information to fleets of future cars and trucks.

Sony Field Tests Show ATSC 3.0 Broadcasting to Vehicles Ideal for Solid Reception in Difficult ‘On the Move’ Conditions

A joint effort of Sony’s Semiconductor and Home Entertainment and Sound Products groups, the field tests were carried out with the assistance of the Pearl TV broadcasters and support from the Phoenix Model Market partners in Arizona and News-Press and Gazette Co. of Santa Barbara, California.

Testing was done to see how new worldwide demodulator chips from Sony Semiconductor and related software for ATSC 3.0 created by Sony Home Entertainment and Solutions of America would perform in a real-world environment. Difficult mountain passes and urban settings near Phoenix, Arizona provided one exceptionally complex reception challenge while another route along the Pacific coast near Santa Barbara, California had its own difficult reception environment.  

«For the field testing areas selected, there are some rolling hills, rural canyons and light urban canyon terrain causing echo delays,» said Mike Nejat, VP of Engineering at Sony Home Entertainment and Solutions of America. We wanted to find out if ATSC 3.0 can support multiple services, show an example configuration for automotive service, test the configuration with separate solutions in a variety of markets, terrains, and driving conditions, and test the simultaneous delivery of files not related to television entertainment to see how this transmission and reception system might appeal to new customers like automakers and fleet operators.

«Diversity can only help reception»

The Sony field testing, outlined in a paper (https://www.sony.com/en_us/ATSC-automotive-field-tests.html) written by engineers Luke Fay, Graham Clift, and Fred Ansfield, was done to test the capabilities of ATSC 3.0 transmissions and mobile reception. Driving routes in both Phoenix and Santa Barbara were chosen based on difficult reception areas, including a circle around the Paradise Valley north of Camelback Mountain in Arizona and along Highway 192 in California.  Four different routes in Arizona and two in California allowed engineers to test different signal-to-noise power levels and highway speeds above and below 55 mph. 

A key finding: to accommodate all channel conditions of strong and weak signal strength, it could be beneficial to have a mix of active and passive reception antennas. «Diversity can only help reception,» the paper states.

«Sometimes simplicity contains the greatest brilliance,» said Pearl TV Chief Technical Officer Dave Folsom. «The real brilliance in Sony’s chip and implementation is the use and enabling of diversity antenna reception. Pearl TV and the Phoenix Model Market partners know that mobile reception is particularly hampered by smaller, less efficient antenna systems in a motion environment with the signals reflecting off of adjacent automobiles, buildings, or terrain. In Sony’s implementation they can use up to four antennas and their signal outputs which likely arrive at different levels and times at any given time that are then added together efficiently. Diversity reception has been around for years and has been used in situations like wireless microphones and microwave reception. The brilliance of Sony’s design is the reduction of this capability to a small chip and using it to enable efficient NEXTGEN TV mobile reception.»

Broadcasters in Detroit recently launched a «Motown 3.0 Test Track» and expect to test the Sony implementation this spring, as part of the broader initiative now underway in Michigan. Detroit is one of more than 20 cities now offering NEXTGEN TV broadcasts powered by ATSC 3.0 technology. By merging over-the-air TV with the Internet, NEXTGEN TV is expected to change the way viewers watch live broadcast television. Stations can now personalize their news, sports, live events and shows with interactive features that give viewers the content most relevant to them. More information about the upgrades – including specific stations and available receivers – is available at www.WatchNextGenTV.com.

Skyway Interactive Unveils Virtual Recruiting Tour For Purdue Athletics

VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Skyway Interactive, which transports fans and athletes to athletic venues through its virtual tours, announced Purdue Athletics as the latest client to showcase their athletic facilities. Purdue completed the on-site photography after Skyway Interactive mailed them a 360-degree camera, then uploaded the photos to be integrated into the virtual tour, highlighting their entire athletic facilities and venues so recruits, fans, and more can view them online. The virtual tour can be viewed at https://purduesports360.com/.

Skyway Interactive began working with Purdue in August 2020, collecting hundreds of images before finalizing the tour that launched in January. Because the camera is mailed, along with simple instructions on how to best capture each facility, the virtual tour development process is incredibly easy. Schools or venues don’t have to wait on a photographer or rush through areas that aren’t ready for production, instead shooting the spaces on their own schedule. Afterward, clients simply upload the photos, and then Skyway Interactive immediately builds the virtual tour.

«Virtual tours in college recruiting became a necessity when in-person visits were prohibited,» said Jake Donahue, founder of Skyway Interactive. «Even before the pandemic, these tours were gaining popularity as coaches expanded their recruiting footprint. Now, we can get virtual tours up and running immediately since we mail them a camera to capture the images on their schedule. It couldn’t be easier for them. That’s why we’re seeing schools from the SEC and Big Ten down to the Group of Five all using the same tools – they simply work.»

Many prominent universities have added virtual tours to their recruiting efforts, including three of the top four 2021 men’s basketball recruiting classes (#1 Michigan, #3 Villanova, #4 Kentucky), according to 247 Sports.

Additional Skyway Interactive virtual tour clients include Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oregon, Cal, Houston, Oregon State, and many other NCAA programs. They have also worked with professional teams, including the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Astros.

About Skyway Interactive 
Founded in 2017, Skyway Interactive transports athletes, students, fans, families, and anyone in the world through its dynamic virtual tours. Since the pandemic began, Skyway Interactive has worked with schools across 10 Division-1 conferences and multiple professional sports venues.

DALTON, Ga., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SYNLawn®, the largest manufacturer and unrivaled innovator of artificial grass in North America, announced the five recipients of the Project of the Year awards during a virtual ceremony, which was part of the company’s remote conference for its network of 100+ distributors.

«Our distributors continue to impress us each year with their high-quality projects that reinforce our company’s position as an innovative leader in the artificial turf industry,» said George Neagle, executive vice president at SYNLawn. «The latest recipients of the Project of the Year awards overcame a challenging year to deliver stellar work for their clients. We’re proud to recognize the winners for their dedication and innovation in designing and installing these superior installations.»

Many of the award-winning installations included products made with Super Yarn™ technology, which was an innovative new offering that SYNLawn debuted at the beginning of 2020. Super Yarn technology offers unique additives for artificial turf like Sanitized® Antimicrobial, DualChill® IR Reflective (IR) and StatBlock® Anti-Static.

The Project of the Year award winners recognized for their 2020 installation projects included:

  • Commercial – Anastasia Phillips, City Square Rooftop Park: Anastasia Phillips, owner of SYNLawn New York, and her team partnered with GDC Developers to design and install a 35,000 square foot rooftop courtyard area that connects three buildings known as «Central Park of City Square, downtown White Plains.» To achieve the goal of increasing activity in this public area, SYNLawn New York added leisure lawns, walking pathways, a large two-tier putting green, bocce court, outdoor dining and various lawn space in planted areas. The rooftop courtyard incorporated the following SYNLawn products: SYNTipede 343, SYNRye 200 Tan, Precision Putt and Ultra Base. The project was challenging due to the logistics involved to connect this green space to the three buildings, and it required coordination with the City of White Plains, but the team rose to the challenge to create this unique space that will be enjoyed by the public.
  • Residential – Raúl Martinez, Corr Residence: Raúl Martinez of EasyGrass, LLC in South Florida and his team were recognized for the best residential project for a 13,000 square foot residential installation in Vero Beach. The large size of the landscaping project was unique, and the project was time consuming since the team had to remove all of the natural grass before starting the installation and then the SYNAugustine 347 with Envirofill® turf had to mostly be installed by hand. The final result was beautiful landscaping that will save the owner money that used to be spent on lawn care and water.
  • Specialty – John Larsen, Erin Mills Mall: John Larsen and the team from SYNLawn Toronto installed a professional-quality, 9-hole mini-putt golf course called «The Green Mini Golf,» at the Erin Mills Mall in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The approximately 5,000 square feet course was designed to provide a more aesthetically pleasing environment and offer a variety of golf experiences. The team leveraged their vast experience installing one of a kind putting greens to plan and design «The Green Mini Golf.» The unique circular indoor space created an exciting challenge to build a rolling and smooth mini golf course made with synthetic golf turf. The team used several turf styles for the project, including Precision Putt, SYNTipede 343, SYNRye 200 Tan, and SYNPlay 48 Blue that incorporated the undulation and mounds that Erin Mills Mall desired. They also made it modular so the course could be temporarily removed around the holiday season as requested by the client.
  • Recreational – Tina Palombi, Frisco ISD: Tina Palombi, National Sales Director and Playground Safety Specialist at SYNLawn Texas, and her team worked on an extensive playground resurfacing project for Frisco Independent School District (ISD). The year-long project included resurfacing 45 playgrounds at Frisco ISD’s elementary schools with SYNLawn Playground System to make the areas safer and easily accessible to students of all abilities. Each Playground System installation included durable SYNLawn artificial grass made with EnviroLoc® and HeatBlock® Technologies and TCool® infill, which prevents the surface from absorbing heat like other playground surfaces. Partners for this project included: Frisco ISD Construction Managing Director, Cecil Cypert; Project and Design Architect, VLK Architects; and Architect Project Director, Jason Blanks, NCARB.
  • Golf – Tina Palombi, Topgolf Jacksonville: Tina Palombi and her team were also recognized for outstanding work on a 14-hole mini golf installation in Jacksonville, Fla. that they did for global sports entertainment company, Topgolf. Tina and her team used Precision Putt and SYNAugustine X47 to install the 13,500 square foot mini golf course. In addition to the 14-hole layout of the course, the design also incorporated the landscape and drainage, concrete, AV, lighting and electrical. Tina and her team worked closely with the Topgolf construction team to bring the client’s vision to life.

Photos of the projects are available upon request. For more information about SYNLawn, visit www.synlawn.com.

I Would Drive 500 Miles: Consumers Are Willing to Travel Longer Distances to Get the Cars They Want During COVID-19, According to Edmunds

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Consumers are willing to go the extra mile to get the cars they desire during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the car shopping experts at Edmunds. Edmunds data…

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Consumers are willing to go the extra mile to get the cars they desire during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the car shopping experts at Edmunds. Edmunds data reveals that new vehicle inventory is down by nearly 20% compared to the same time last year and, as a result, car shoppers are expanding their online searches to include dealerships that are farther away. According to Edmunds website data, car shoppers indicated that they were willing to drive 47 miles on average for outgoing 2019 model year vehicles in January 2020. In January 2021, car shoppers indicated that they were willing to drive 65 miles on average for outgoing 2020 model year vehicles, nearly a 20-mile increase year over year.

«car shoppers aren’t being dissuaded by the lack of inventory… they’re ready to literally go the distance»

«New car inventory was already tight due to coronavirus-related factory shutdowns from last year, and the current global chipset shortage has exacerbated the situation,» said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds’ executive director of insights. «But car shoppers aren’t being dissuaded by the lack of inventory. They’re demonstrating that they’re ready to literally go the distance to get their hearts’ desire, even in the midst of a pandemic.»

Edmunds analysts have created a Valentine’s Day-themed «Most Desired Vehicles» barometer, which takes into account all car shopping leads submitted on Edmunds and identifies vehicles that car shoppers indicated they were willing to drive the farthest distance to obtain. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class clinched the No. 1 spot in the hearts of car shoppers, commanding an average distance of 363 miles. The Toyota GR Supra came in second, with consumers indicating they’d be willing to drive an average of 167 miles. The Kia Stinger came in third, rating an average distance of 166 miles from willing car shoppers. The complete Top 25 list of Most Desired Vehicles can be found below and on Edmunds here.

«By looking at the vehicles that topped the list, it’s clear that different motivations are pushing car shoppers to go long distance,» said Caldwell. «Consumers with more eclectic or expensive tastes are going out of their way to get the cars that they want, but we’re also seeing that consumers are willing to travel farther for more affordable, high-demand options as well.»

Ahead of Valentine’s Day and the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, Edmunds experts note that car shoppers who are willing to travel longer distances for their next vehicle purchase should consider taking some important steps before hitting the road to save time and stay safe:

  • Test-drive a similar vehicle closer to home. Edmunds experts strongly recommend driving the vehicle before you buy it to make sure it feels right before you make a big financial commitment. If the dealership with the specific make and model you have your heart set on is out of town, schedule a test drive with a similar vehicle at your local dealership. You might find out that some of your must-haves might actually be nice-to-haves and aren’t worth spending the time on the road for. Dealerships also trade cars all the time, so it’s possible your local dealer can work with the one out of town and have it shipped.
  • Get your trade-in appraisal online. If you have a trade-in, Edmunds experts note that it’s a good idea to figure out how much you can sell yours for so you can determine what to put down on a new car. To do so, they advise getting a real cash offer for your vehicle on sites such as Edmunds because it saves time and can be done from the comfort and safety of home.
  • Do as much paperwork at home as possible. Work with the dealer to complete as much of the necessary paperwork online, including your loan application, so that you can spend minimal time at the dealership.
  • Ask about delivery. Some dealers will deliver your new vehicle to your door, so be sure to ask. You might be able to skip the big drive altogether.

«If you have your heart set on a vehicle that’s a long drive away, the good news is that you can take most steps from the comfort of home,» said Ivan Drury. «Dealerships have done a good job of bringing so much more of the car shopping process online in response to the pandemic. As long as you’re willing to do some extra research and prep work beforehand, you can feel confident in committing to a car purchase even if it’s a long drive away.»

ROOMDEX, A Hotel Upsell Innovator, Partners with Pacifica Hotels

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ROOMDEX, a pioneer in automated hotel upselling solutions, announces that Pacifica Hotels has activated ROOMDEX’s Upgrade OptimizerTM software in four hotels, including, Marina Del Rey Hotel, (Venice, CA), Inn at the Pier (<span…

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ROOMDEX, a pioneer in automated hotel upselling solutions, announces that Pacifica Hotels has activated ROOMDEX’s Upgrade OptimizerTM software in four hotels, including, Marina Del Rey Hotel, (Venice, CA), Inn at the Pier (Pismo Beach, CA), Blue Sea Beach Hotel (San Diego, CA) and La Jolla Cove Hotel (La Jolla, CA).

Upgrade Optimizer is an automated hotel upsell tool that generates revenue directly to a hotel’s bottom line. ROOMDEX intelligently calculates the best upgrade offer price and ensures that only available rooms will be offered. Along with the upgrade, guests have the chance to purchase early check-in or late check-out. Late check out is offered automatically pre-arrival and during stay.

«The reasons for moving our hotels to ROOMDEX were twofold,» said John Pedlow, Vice President of Revenue at Pacifica Hotels, «The first was the automation and streamlining of the upsell process all the way to the PMS. Other upsell software only ever got us half-way there. Once the offer request was made, somebody needed to actually go and make sure that is happened in the PMS. By contrast, ROOMDEX integrates all the way through the system. Our operations team doesn’t have to worry about a thing.»

«The second reason is the reach,» John continued, «Other platforms only reach the guests who directly through our website. ROOMDEX offers go out to any guest in the system, regardless of whether they booked directly with us or booked through an OTA. We’re excited to continue to roll out ROOMDEX to our other properties.»

At Pacifica ROOMDEX enabled hotels have reported an average of $103 of additional room product up-sell revenue per up-sold stay since using the hotel upsell tool. Upgrade OptimizerTM room revenue is improving RevPar and boosting ADR when hotels need it most – even during low occupancy.

«We have been extremely pleased with the performance we are seeing at the Pacifica hotels so far,» said Jos Schaap, CEO and Co-Founder of ROOMDEX, «Despite the occupancy challenges the pandemic has presented, the Pacifica team has shown that they can still drive ancillary revenue in tough market conditions.»

ABOUT ROOMDEX :

ROOMDEX’s hotel upsell software, «Upgrade Optimizer,» automates, monetizes and ultimately simplifies the hotel room upgrade process by putting the power of choice in the hotel guest’s hands. Automation is the cornerstone of our pioneering hotel optimization platform. ROOMDEX uses hotel reservation, guest data and its proprietary persona and price algorithms to deliver personalized digital offers, greatly enhancing the guest experience. The hotel upsell tool relieves hoteliers of the labor time required by other upselling solutions while delivering high margin revenue and a substantial ROI.

The company was founded by Jos Schaap, Pierre Boettner and Denis Bajet, three industry veterans (Ex. MICROS-OPERA (now Oracle Hospitality), StayNTouch, Shiji and Nor1) who together bring over 90 years of hotel software innovation experience in PMS, integrations, revenue management, BI, mobile, self-service and upgrade optimization software. Since founding in spring of 2020, ROOMDEX has signed on more than 55 hotels with 5,500 rooms across the U.S., U.K. and Europe, visit http://www.roomdex.io
