Mera Joota hai Japani… Phir bhi Dil hai Hindustani

AHMEDABAD, India, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A very popular song from the Raj Kapoor’s film in 1950’s, resonates with the feelings of Ashutosh Rawal. The song conveys the ideology that you may travel across the world and adapt to different cultures & styles but at the core of the heart, you are an Indian. Traveler by heart and explorer by nature, Ashutosh Rawal feels a deep connection with Japan and its people. He has very innocently narrated these heartwarming & rib-tickling experiences in his upcoming book about his travel experiences to Japan.

He admiringly quotes Mahatma Gandhi: «I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.» This, he says, has a deeper spiritual meaning wherein you keep your mind and heart open to other cultures but stay grounded in your moral values & principles. He has traveled to over 70 countries now but remains rooted in Indian culture and its values system.

Many of his friends feel that he is Crazy About Japan. However he is proud about his love and flaunts his connection with Japan, its people and its culture. He takes the fondness to another level. He goes into the history and finds out that many Indians have settled in Japan for over a century and many of them were Gujarati, Parsi and Sindhi. A recent news talks about conferring the second highest civilian award of Padma Vibhushan to Ex-Prime Minister of Japan – Mr. Shinzo Abe for «exceptional and distinguished service» — in the field of public affairs. He also talks about Yogendra Puranik becoming the first person of Indian origin to win elections in Japan. The point being highlighted is the great connection between two countries and its people.

He has studied in Japanese language as an exchange student and strongly feels that Gujarati & Japanese language has a lot of similarities. He cites the example of Gujarati’s saying «Ha Ji Namaste» whereas in Japanese language they say «Hajime Mashtey», when they meet someone for the first time. Gujarati/Hindi word «Seva» also has a similar meaning in Japanese language. There are many such similarities as the grammatical construction of the speech is also very similar for both the languages. In his upcoming book, he fondly talks about many such similarities and anyone would love reading these interesting narratives conveyed in a simple and witty manner. Small stories with wonderful & heartwarming life lessons are the takeaway from his book. Don’t miss to buy and read this fantastic book to be released in March 2021. He talks in a witty manner with a great sense of humour but the underlying message has deeper meaning. Keep looking at this space for more details.

Ashutosh Rawal strongly feels past life connection with Japan. He has created life-time friendships and bond with the people of Japan. He becomes highly emotional when he talks about his friends and host families in Japan. Tears roll down his cheeks and he becomes philosophical as he narrates some amazing and highly touching experiences with people of Japan. In the end, he laughs and calls himself Japanese Gujju.

You may follow him on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn & Twitter where he shares his travel adventures and magical experiences in Japan.

Ashutosh Rawal is a world traveler, photographer, adventure seeker, writer, teacher, snake charmer as well as a student forever. Professionally working in the field of Tourism, Destination Marketing and Corporate Events, he travels across India and the globe for his work. He leads the Travel Company called Kairamya Journeys LLP., based in Ahmedabad. He is highly excited about his upcoming book release which narrates his travel experiences in Japan.

Bruce Springsteen Leads the Jeep® Brand’s 2021 Big Game Campaign «The Middle»

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

<img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1434257/Stellantis_Jeep_Bruce_Springsteen_The_Middle.jpg" title="The Jeep® brand and Bruce Springsteen collaborate to launch "The…

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

Jeep® brand, with Bruce Springsteen, to launch two-minute film «The Middle» during the Big Game telecast today, Sun., Feb. 7, 2021
«The Middle» was filmed in locations across the United States, including on the grounds of the U.S. Center Chapel in Lebanon, Kansas, which stands on the geographical center (the middle) of the United States of America’s lower 48 states
«The Middle» campaign marks the 10-year anniversary of the «Imported from Detroit» Big Game campaign, recognizing and celebrating American ingenuity as seen through the lens of the Detroit automaker

Bruce Springsteen and the Jeep® brand have joined together to launch the two-minute film «The Middle.» The film can now be viewed across the Jeep brand’s social media channels, and it will make a one-time television appearance during tonight’s Big Game. The campaign debuts nearly 10 years to the day from the launch of the «Imported from Detroit» campaign (02/07/2011).

Bruce Springsteen was intimately involved in creating «The Middle» and worked closely with longtime director Thom Zimny. He wrote and produced the original score with frequent collaborator Ron Aniello.

Said Jon Landau: «Olivier Francois and I have been discussing ideas for the last 10 years and when he showed us the outline for ‘The Middle,’ our immediate reaction was, ‘Let’s do it.’ Our goal was to do something surprising, relevant, immediate and artful. I believe that’s just what Bruce has done with ‘The Middle’.»

«From ‘Imported from Detroit‘ and ‘Halftime in America’ to ‘Farmer,’ and most recently ‘Groundhog Day,’ we have looked at making meaningful and emotional connections with millions of viewers, with cultural relevancy at the core of our communication,» said Olivier Francois, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Stellantis. «‘The Middle’ is a celebration of the Jeep brand’s 80-year anniversary and, more timely, it is a call to all Americans to come together and seek common ground as we look collectively to the road ahead.»

Added Francois, «Bruce Springsteen was instrumental in crafting this joint message. His experiences and perspective have often been called upon to bridge a divide. Now seems to be a time when a message like this is greatly needed.»

The Jeep brand campaign was created in partnership with Doner agency in Michigan.

Over the last decade, the Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands have evoked aspirational messaging in their Big Game campaign efforts. While «Imported from Detroit» spoke to the grit, ingenuity and determination of the American (Detroit) automotive workforce in 2011, the following year «Halftime in America» sought to galvanize Americans going through challenging times, with Clint Eastwood stating, «This country can’t be knocked out in one punch. We get back up again.» Then, in 2013, the Ram brand launched «Farmer,» acknowledging and honoring American farmers through the iconic words of legendary radio personality Paul Harvey.

More information is available on the fact sheet regarding production of «The Middle.» The full script is also available.

Noted Cities in the Tennessee River Valley that Have Shaped America

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Tennessee River Valley is a region steeped in history and at the centerpiece of it all is the Tennessee River. Flowing 652 miles through seven states, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, the Tennessee River derives its name from the Cherokee town of Tanasi. Cities and towns along the waterway have played an important role in forming the region’s identity and heritage. Today, travelers can experience a bit of the diverse heritage and learn about each town’s role in shaping the region into a geotourism hotspot through historical structures, natural areas and other attractions.

Located about a mile from the I-65 and I-565 junction in north Alabama is the oldest incorporated town in the state. The entire town of Mooresville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with 14 structures dating from the 1820 to the 1850s.

Visitors to the Shoals area in northwest Alabama can expect a day (or several days) of inspirational exploration. The area offers a compelling story from celebrated leaders such as Helen Keller and W.C. Handy, father of the Blues. FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound along with other recording studios made Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the Hit Recording Capital of the World in the 1960s and beyond.

In southeast Tennessee and north Georgia, copper mining was a major industry for many years. Copper was first discovered in the basin in 1843, and by the 1850s large mining operations were taking place, but careless industry practices over the years resulted in a massive environmental disaster. With the formation of TVA in 1933, one of their top priorities was to remedy the damage done to the area. Today, the area is still known as the Copper Basin and is a popular area for visitors due to the fact the geological region features two rivers, two bridges, two towns and two states.

Established 17 years before Tennessee was granted statehood, Jonesborough is a unique town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Its well-preserved Main Street takes visitors on a beautiful journey through the past. Walk where Daniel Boone, Andrew Jackson, David Crockett, John Sevier and so many others have been.

Founded in 1827 by William Clark of Lewis & Clark fame, Paducah’s origins and prosperity can be attributed to its strategic location at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. Paducah thrived due to its port facilities along the waterways that were used by steamboats.

Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, Abingdon is one of Virginia’s most historically-significant towns. The site of present-day Abingdon is located on a well-traveled wilderness route called the Great Road, which many pioneers traveled through the Blue Ridge Mountains on the way to settle the new American frontier. Some of the architecture in the Historic District dates back to the late 1700s.

Nestled along the shores of beautiful Watts Bar Lake, Kingston was once a major steam boat hub on the Tennessee River, and the most southwestern point in the United States. Two years prior to the founding of Kingston, Fort Southwest Point was established in 1797 as a federal frontier outpost. It was chosen for its location for access to the Avery Trace, a popular wagon path of the time.

Due to social distancing rules and regulations, locations may be temporarily closed or have modified hours. Please call to confirm hours of operation before traveling.

The RFP is for creative services only, and the selected, on implementing a robust marketing campaign.

«We are thrilled to collaborate with our partners at Destination DC to identify top ad agencies across the country who want to continue to ensure that Washington, DC remains a top domestic and international travel destination for years to come. We are looking for innovative and fresh creative ideas to market our city and know that the industry is poised to show what we can do together,» said Max Brown, chairman, Events DC Board of Directors.

Washington, DC enjoyed 10 years of record tourism growth before the pandemic started. In 2019, DC welcomed a record 24.6 million visitors, who spent $8.2 billion, generated $896 million in District tax revenue and were responsible for 78,266 jobs in DC.

The pandemic reversed this trajectory as it did for cities around the globe. Tourism Economics estimated that visitation would fall by 57% in 2020. From mid-March to December last year, visitor spending was down 71%, or $4.9 billion, and DC lost $375 million in tax revenue. According to STR, hotel revenue for that same time period was down 87%, or $1.6 billion.

«The pandemic has forced us to experience what happens when tourism falls precipitously. DC’s hospitality businesses are suffering, residents are unemployed and city tax revenue from visitor spending has dropped,» said Elliott L. Ferguson, II, president and CEO, DDC. «When the pandemic subsides, and more people are traveling, there’s going to be a lot of competition to win consumers back. We are grateful for our partners at Events DC who recognize that a strong recovery campaign is crucial to make sure DC captures our fair share of visitors.»

Research will inform the recovery campaign as data shows desire to travel, safety and finances all play a role in consumer decisions. According to a national study by travel research company Destination Analysts, 57 percent of regular travelers are now open to receiving travel information, though nearly half of those surveyed said they would wait to travel «until vaccines are widely available.»

Agencies will tap into what sets DC apart for consumers, including vast outdoor space, 100 free things to do, diverse neighborhoods, new hotels, incredible arts and culture, Michelin-rated dining scene, living history and unique ability to host peaceful First Amendment demonstrations. This year, DC looks forward to celebrating the 175^th anniversary of the Smithsonian Institution, 100^th anniversary of the Phillips Collection and 50^th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. In early 2021, Destination DC relaunched its powerful consumer website, washington.org, in advance of the recovery campaign rollout.

MGM Resorts International Named A FORTUNE «World’s Most Admired Company»

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is on FORTUNE’s 2021 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies, available online at www.FORTUNE.com.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is on FORTUNE’s 2021 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies, available online at www.FORTUNE.com.

The survey, regarded as a definitive analysis of corporate reputation, ranked MGM Resorts among the best in the world in the category of Hotels, Casinos and Resorts. The list is a ranking of the world’s most respected and reputable companies, as ranked by peers in their industry.

MGM Resorts, a leading global hospitality company, not only offers some of the most recognizable resort brands in the world, such as Bellagio, ARIA and MGM Grand Las Vegas, but also holds itself to a high standard within the community.

«We’re proud of the work we’ve done to adapt and continually provide unmatched guest service through this period of uncertainty,» said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO & President of MGM Resorts International. «Furthermore, as a long-standing leader in the hospitality and entertainment business, we take seriously our Social Impact and Sustainability obligations and brand reputation as we strive to make the world a better place.»

In May 2020, MGM Resorts released its Seven-Point Safety Plan outlining the comprehensive health and safety protocols the company began to implement prior to re-opening its domestic resorts, which were temporarily closed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-layered set of protocols and procedures, designed in partnership with medical and scientific experts to deter the spread of the virus, was one of the first of its kind.

Last year, in Southern Nevada alone, the company donated 444,000 pounds of food, or 370,000 meals. Across regional properties an additional 219,000 pounds, or 182,000 meals, were donated, bringing the company’s total donation to over 662,000 pounds of food, or 552,000 meals. MGM Resorts also leveraged their procurement and logistics expertise to support the Nevada COVID-19 task force in procuring 261,000 hospital gowns, 200,000 medical gloves and 500,000 KN95 respiratory masks through MGM Macau.

Survey Methodology

Fortune collaborated with their partner Korn Ferry on this survey of corporate reputations. They began with about 1,500 candidates: the 1,000 largest U.S. companies ranked by revenue, along with non-U.S. companies in Fortune’s Global 500 database that have revenues of $10 billion or more. They narrowed the assortment to the highest-revenue companies in each industry, a total of 670 in 30 countries. The top-rated companies were picked from that pool of 670; the executives who voted work at the companies in that group.

To determine the best-regarded companies in 52 industries, Korn Ferry asked executives, directors, and analysts to rate enterprises in their own industry on nine criteria, from investment value and quality of management and products to social responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
