Carolina Retreats purchases iconic Manteo inn

SURF CITY, N.C., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carolina Retreats, a specialty lodging and vacation rental management company based in Surf City, North Carolina, announced the recent purchase of The Tranquil House Inn.

SURF CITY, N.C., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carolina Retreats, a specialty lodging and vacation rental management company based in Surf City, North Carolina, announced the recent purchase of The Tranquil House Inn. The inn will become part of Carolina Retreats’ family of brands, which also includes Carolina Retreats Vacation Rentals, Topsail Realty Vacations, the Loggerhead Inn on Topsail Island, and The Beach House @ Oak Island.

Built in 1988 by developer Ray Hollowell and owned and operated for the past 27 years by The Tranquility Company and the Just family, The Tranquil House Inn is located in one of the most iconic locations in historic Manteo. Overlooking Manteo’s historic waterfront, the inn offers unobstructed direct marina views of Shallowbag Bay. The Tranquil House Inn offers 25 quaint and spacious king and queen rooms and is a 2-minute walk from Roanoke Island Festival Park, 4 miles from the North Carolina Aquarium, and within walking distance of all the world-class dining and shopping options of downtown Manteo. Carolina Retreats plans to make improvements to the overall property over time, with room upgrades and a future announcement of plans for the former 1587 restaurant space.

According to Mike Harrington, CEO & Owner of Carolina Retreats, «The Tranquil House Inn is truly one of the most iconic boutique properties on the Outer Banks. As a hospitality management provider, we felt this opportunity was just too good to pass up. It fits a niche within our company, which is offering both traditional vacation rental homes on a mostly weekly basis, and smaller, historically significant beach motel and inn properties for shorter stays and smaller traveling parties. It benefits both our guests and property owner partners in the long run, as we can reach more potential travelers that might not be thinking of renting an entire home just yet, and hopefully appeal to the next generation vacation rental guests by offering a consistent brand experience regardless of the property type they choose.»

New Digital Publication Delivers the Ground Truth About Autonomous Vehicles

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With one of the most anticipated—but often misunderstood—technologies on the horizon, Argo AI is proud to announce the launch of Ground Truth (www.groundtruthautonomy.com), a new storytelling platform that provides an inside look at the…

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With one of the most anticipated—but often misunderstood—technologies on the horizon, Argo AI is proud to announce the launch of Ground Truth (www.groundtruthautonomy.com), a new storytelling platform that provides an inside look at the development of autonomous driving technology.

Ground Truth, a new digital publication, provides an inside look at the development of self-driving technology.

«Since there’s no shortage of hype and speculation about self-driving cars, there is a need for a place where people can get a realistic understanding of this revolutionary technology and how it could one day impact their lives,» said Bryan Salesky, founder and CEO of Argo AI (www.argo.ai), a global self-driving technology platform company behind launch of the publication. «Ground Truth will be a destination for stories not just about the technology, but about the people doing the work, the cities where it will be deployed, and the businesses it can enable.»

With inside access to the Argo AI team, as well as industry experts who have experienced the excitement, the trials, and the tribulations of this emerging industry, Ground Truth goes deep into the «why’s» and «how’s» of autonomous driving. Ground Truth focuses on true «driverless» technology—not driver-assist features or systems that need human supervision—but rather an all-new vehicle experience that doesn’t require a human driver at all.

The effort is a partnership with Vox Media’s Epic Digital team of writers and editors, who bring decades of journalism experience to a topic ripe for explanation. The publication’s goal is to validate or correct perceptions by relaying what’s really happening in the sector, thus the name Ground Truth, since it mirrors the process of how a self-driving system is developed, using ‘ground truthed’ or real world measurements to verify the data that its sensors are gathering. Using a variety of storytelling mediums from blogs and industry perspectives to explanatory videos and data visualizations, the publication strives to explain how the technology will come into the lives of consumers, from the residents of the cities where it will first be deployed, to the small to large businesses it will eventually support.

«We’re at the beginning of the re-creation of the automotive and transportation industries, and it’s going to take a different lens from which to view, evaluate, and understand emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles,» continued Salesky. «As a passionate advocate for the field of robotics and the potential of self-driving technology, I’m happy to have Argo AI take on this effort to support the industry and help usher in safer, easier, and more enjoyable ways to get around our cities.»

Some of the first stories and videos provide a glimpse of what’s to come:

Subscribe to the Ground Truth newsletter to receive the latest news and updates.

Ground Truth is the second media property from Argo AI and follows the No Parking podcast (www.noparkingpodcast.com), which features Salesky as co-host with Alex Roy, the record-setting endurance driver and author turned autonomous driving evangelist. Roy will also serve as a columnist on Ground Truth with his first piece focusing on what the history of elevators teaches us about the future of self-driving vehicles.

About Argo AI

Argo AI is a global autonomous vehicle technology platform company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company is developing self-driving technology in partnership with leading automakers, including Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Group, to make getting around cities safe, easy, and enjoyable for all. Argo AI employs more than 1,000 people with engineering centers located in Dearborn, Mich.; Cranbury, N.J.; Palo Alto, Calif.; and Munich, Germany. Argo is currently testing autonomous vehicles on public roads in Miami, Fla.; Austin, Tex.; and Washington D.C., as well as in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California.

Digitization in the Global Airline Market

DUBLIN, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Global Airline IT Market and Competition 2020» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

<div id="prni_dvprnejpg8e14left" style="WIDTH:…

DUBLIN, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Global Airline IT Market and Competition 2020» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

This airline IT market report discusses the major companies, the role of OEMs and big tech firms, and key disruptors in the market.

The airline information technology (IT) market is a highly fragmented one with numerous start-ups and conglomerates offering various airline IT solutions across geographies. The leading companies in this market have distinguished their products and services from the rest of the market by maintaining a long-term focus in their R&D investment strategy, by developing next-generation technological capabilities, by bundling and upselling solutions, and by developing cross-industry synergies.

COVID-19 has changed the digital priorities of airlines worldwide. The key focus is now on implementing contactless technologies, optimizing airline operations, improving merchandising efforts, and optimizing pricing and network planning.

As every facet of aviation is being digitized, there is a higher requirement for stakeholder collaboration that will enable an easy flow of data. A big-data-enabled platform is one such solution where multiple stakeholders of the aviation industry, such as airlines, MROs, and OEMs share data that will enable them to optimize their operations. Such operational data platforms are the key focus areas of major OEMs, which will mature over the long term and play a critical role in the operational IT segment of the market.

This focus has led to intense competition in the operational IT segment, as OEMs are developing their own portfolio of digital solutions and have the competitive advantage of proprietary data. Airlines and solution providers will need to partner with leading technology firms, such as Google, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, which are at the forefront of the digital revolution. Such partnerships will enable them to explore the latest technological developments, identify pain points in the industry which the new technology can address, and apply it to their solutions.

With airlines adopting cloud computing, digital firms have become a part of the airline IT ecosystem and are set to gain more prominence over the long term. Though they now serve as key technology partners for airline IT solution providers, they will soon become competitors as they extend their solution capabilities.

Deep technical knowledge and cross-industry expertise of Big Tech firms will make the airline IT market a highly competitive one over the long term. The rise of interconnected solutions has created a vulnerable data ecosystem, so regulatory policies now mandate various technological security measures to protect an individual’s data privacy, failing which airlines would face financial penalties and consequent brand implications. This has increased the focus on cybersecurity solutions, such as identity and access control solutions and data loss prevention solutions.

MIAMI, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — This 2021 will be a year of great changes in the automotive industry. Automotive companies with smart executives know that before them they have a market of powerful Hispanics, which has the highest purchasing power in Latin America.

Twenty-five percent of the population in the main market is Hispanic. The automotive strategy must be directed towards them. The latest Hispanic new vehicle registration data shows that year-over-year sales volume growth has been higher for Hispanics than for non-Hispanics, and this trend continues to grow.

The growth of the Hispanic market is outpacing the general market by almost 3 to 1, Hispanics buy one of four cars sold in the United States.

Just as there are colors for taste, Hispanics also have their taste in different car models.

To achieve this, we plan to present the «Latin Flavor Car of the Year» at the Miami Auto Show as the «Car of the Year » with a Latin flavor. With the change of the event date, from the editorial office of www.purosautos.com, the leading car site for Hispanics in the United States, we have presented the list digitally.

The «Cars of the Year» with a Latin flavor:

Sedan:
2021 Hyundai Elantra 

The Elantra is slightly longer and wider than the previous year’s model. It has a sleeker roofline and arrow-shaped styling lines along its sides that add distinctive character.

Inside, there’s more legroom and the rear area has a new redesigned instrument panel with two digital displays placed side by side, giving an impart of a distinctive European luxury sedan vibe. The new Elantra is sure to appeal to Hispanics who want a comfortable, safe and reliable model.

SUV:
2021 Kia Sorento 

2021 Sorento HEV Hybrid

The 2021 Kia Sorento has been a winner among the Hispanic community since its first appearance. It brings more interior space than its predecessor and new powertrain options, including a hybrid and a plug-in. Within the Hispanic community, there are models of the brand that are sold as «hot cakes».

The 2021 Sorento is the latest beneficiary of the brand’s latest style trends, which are setting sales records in times of the pandemic, such as the Telluride and K5. Kia is the carmaker that has suffered the least in 2020, as others have had repercussions from Covid 19, and that is due to the massive support of the Hispanic community.

Pick up:
2021 Honda Ridgeline

The Ridgeline is a smooth ride, innovative storage options, quiet and comfortable interior make it stand out in its class that highlights toughness. This style has gone against the robust appearance of those preferred by Hispanics, such as, the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevrolet Colorado. Honda intended to change that perception, and gave a distinctive touch to the 2021 Ridgeline model, which will surely be very close to the taste of our Hispanic community. 

Electric EV:
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Mustang Mach-E is the first Ford designed specifically as an electric vehicle. The automaker with the blue oval has already sold the production of the year, and among the buyers are thousands of Hispanics eager for their first electric vehicle, with the iconic name.

The same size as a Ford Escape, the Mustang Mach-E combines typical SUV proportions with details and characteristics of typical Mustang styling. The driving experience of the Mach-E is good enough that this electric model bears the iconic sports car name.

If Ford wanted to captivate the Hispanic community with an electric vehicle that is eye-catching, it is already doing so with the new Mustang Mach-E. 

Sports car:
2021 Chevrolet Corvette

The Corvette delivers impressive performance, with European supercar speed, mid-engine exotic flair, exquisite interior, and all at a low price that brings it closer to the taste of the discerning Hispanic supercar consumer.

The Corvette is a true supercar that can withstand the commute,and takes it with comfort and speed wherever you go. It looks like a European sports car and I don’t think you can get more performance for the money you pay for it.

INTELITY Receives 4th Patent for Its Award-Winning Hospitality Technology Platform

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — INTELITY®, the provider of hospitality’s most comprehensive guest experience and staff management platform, has today announced its fourth patent, granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — INTELITY®, the provider of hospitality’s most comprehensive guest experience and staff management platform, has today announced its fourth patent, granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent was awarded to INTELITY for its staff collaboration and optimization tool GEMS® (Guest Experience Management System), and reflects INTELITY’s long history of leadership and innovation in hospitality technology.

Founded in 2007, INTELITY was the first company to harness the power of mobile and in-room hospitality technology, creating the very first guest services mobile app for hotels in early 2009, then following with the first in-room hotel tablets at The Plaza in New York City in 2010 just weeks after the release of Apple’s iPad. In the decade since, INTELITY has only continued its pattern of innovation, winning three HTNG TechOvation awards, numerous event awards at shows like HITEC and Phocuswright, and serving as the Forbes Travel Guide Official Mobile and In-Room Technology Provider back-to-back, four years in a row. In 2019, INTELITY expanded greatly by its merger with KEYPR®, and the company now offers guests an unprecedented combination of mobile, in-room, and staff technologies, all working together in a seamless platform.

This new patent in particular covers how, using its scalable cloud architecture, GEMS empowers hotels to deliver fully configurable services to their guests via in-room tablets and guests’ mobile devices. GEMS is the technology that connects every manner of guest interaction—from check-in and room access, to dining, housekeeping, room controls, and more—to a hotel’s systems and staff. It facilitates a streamlined guest experience, offering staff and management a single system to track requests, monitor fulfillment time, set escalations, update menus, engage with guests, enable service recovery, and identify opportunities for new workflows and process optimization going forward.

«This is the engine that powers our entire platform. Every request is received in GEMS, passed along to a property’s existing systems as needed, and then tracked as it’s fulfilled,» said Ira Dworkin, CTO of INTELITY. «The variety of workflow configurations for service requests, work orders and more, empowers hotel staff to work in ways best matched to their property. Leveraging a deep data and analytics infrastructure also, we can provide an ever-increasing set of deep insights to our customers that help to drive both workflow and revenue optimization.»

Just as critical as the role GEMS serves in everyday operations is the overarching role it serves in integrating a property’s existing technology with the INTELITY platform. With over 150 integration partners, including PMS, POS, ticketing, lock, spa, and room control systems, the INTELITY platform is widely known as the most integrated hospitality platform on the market—allowing hoteliers to connect disparate systems in one connected cloud across their business.

«We are incredibly proud to receive our fourth patent for the INTELITY platform,» remarked Robert Stevenson, CEO of INTELITY. «A property’s tech stack should meet their specific needs and facilitate an impactful digital transformation for both guests and staff without penalizing a hotel’s ROI. GEMS does that and more, providing powerful support out of the box—which is why it’s such an important component of the INTELITY platform.»

This patent joins three others: another for GEMS and two others for INTELITY’s specialized and fully integrated mobile key technologies. As the brand moves forward, the focus remains squarely on innovation that will facilitate safe, contactless experiences with seamless mobile capabilities for guests and staff.
