Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Joins with Rover to Make Pet-Friendly Travel Easier for New Pet Parents

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with approximately 9,000 hotels across 90 countries, today announced a new tail-wagging deal perfect for new pet parents in need of getaway. The well-known hotel company has teamed up with Rover, the nation’s largest network of five-star pet sitters and dog walkers, offering U.S. guests $30 off their first Rover pet service when they book a…

The timely collaboration comes as the U.S. experiences a surge in dog adoptions, sales and fostering amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, a recent poll of pet parents by Rover noted that nearly half had recently acquired a new dog during the pandemic. And a separate survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, found that roughly two-thirds of American families own a pet, which they spent $96 billion on in 2019, a figure that many expect will only continue to grow. In working together, Wyndham and Rover hope to help everyday travelers save money and reduce travel anxiety—particularly as they think about traveling with, or away from, their new four-legged family members.

«With thousands of pet-friendly locations across the country, our hotels have always been a go-to for families with pets.» said Lisa Checchio, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. «Many travelers are eager to start planning that next getaway. Our new partnership with Rover and their range of pet services will help pet owners take the guess work out of travel – helping them care for their pets at home or on the great American road trip.»

Rover counts more than 300,000 sitters among its network and connects pet owners with services such as dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking, doggy day care, drop-in visits and grooming in select markets. All new sitters pass a background check, provide a detailed profile and personal information, and are approved by Rover’s team of sitter specialists. Pet parents can find loving care in their neighborhood or on-the-road, making them the perfect complement to Wyndham’s more than 4,500 pet-friendly hotels across the U.S., including those under well-known brands like La Quinta® by Wyndham, Baymont® by Wyndham, Super 8® by Wyndham and Howard Johnson® by Wyndham, to name just a few.

«In joining forces with Wyndham, we’re making it easier for pet owners to travel with or without their pet. This serves our mission of making it easier for everyone to experience the love of a pet in their lives,» said Kate Jaffe, Trends Expert at Rover. «Wyndham’s pet-friendly hotels allow traveling pet parents to easily accommodate their pets. But not all travel activities are pet-friendly. That’s where Rover can help, offering peace of mind to travelers with easy to find, trusted local pet care.»

Promotional offer of $30 off is available only to new Rover customers and requires a qualified stay at any participating By Wyndham hotel. Travelers must book direct with Wyndham to qualify for the offer and complete their stay by December 31, 2021. Pet policies vary by hotel and may include certain restrictions on the type, size, and number of pets allowed. Additional hotel fees may apply. Learn more at www.wyndhamhotels.com/rover.

EQT and Project Canary Partner on Certified Responsibly Sourced Natural Gas Pilot

PITTSBURGH and DENVER, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) today announced its commitment to a pilot project to demonstrate the production of responsibly sourced natural gas (RSG) for use in domestic and international energy markets.

<img…

The intent of the pilot is to show that natural gas can be, and is, produced with high environmental and social standards, and that global energy market demand exists and is growing for these differentiated RSG products.

«This partnership aligns with our commitment to ESG leadership and to meeting the evolving needs and expectations of our stakeholders. Further, it confirms the emerging domestic and international markets for this differentiated commodity and the important role that United States LNG will play in the future energy mix,» said Toby Z. Rice, President and CEO of EQT. «EQT is the largest producer of natural gas in one of the lowest emission intensity basins – we’re well positioned to further capitalize on our world-class asset base and operational excellence to pursue a high quality, responsible energy source to meet growing global energy demands.»

The pilot project reaffirms EQT’s long-standing commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) leadership and responsible energy development. Under the terms of the pilot, EQT will seek to produce RSG through third-party certification of two of its well pads, accompanied by continuous methane emissions monitoring of the pads. Project Canary, an International Environmental Standards company, will provide TrustWell certification of EQT’s selected pads and continuous, real-time methane emissions monitoring.

Chris Romer, CEO of Project Canary said, «Stakeholders and investors continue to expect and demand more transparency, more verifiable trusted data, and more overall ESG-related performance progress across the energy sector. This pilot project, which will utilize our differentiated technology to provide trusted and independent data, demonstrates continued responsiveness toward meeting and exceeding those growing stakeholder demands. We’re grateful to work alongside EQT, which is an industry leader, toward the shared goal of enhancing stakeholder confidence by helping to ensure natural gas is produced as responsibly as possible.»

Under the terms of the confidential pilot, a global energy company has agreed to purchase a portion of the RSG produced from the pilot. Project Canary’s «Canary X» devices will be installed on EQT’s two selected pads to measure methane concentrations at the site level every second and communicate the results to a cloud database every minute. The TrustWell certification scores more than 300 points related to production practices, including air, land, water, and waste management, as well as drilling and completion processes. For this pilot project, social impacts on the community will also be evaluated. This third-party validation from Project Canary will allow EQT to achieve the highest possible industry standards for RSG and add additional trusted data to ESG ratings.

Outlook on the Aircraft Weighing System Global Market to 2027 – by Type, Application and Geography

DUBLIN, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Aircraft Weighing System Market Forecast to 2027 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis by Type…

DUBLIN, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Aircraft Weighing System Market Forecast to 2027 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis by Type (Floor-standing and Platform), Application (Commercial Aviation and Military Aviation)» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

According to this report the global aircraft weighing system market was valued at US$ 102.76 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 133.03 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2020 to 2027.

The global aircraft weighing system market includes a substantial number of market players operating in the market resulting in a fragmented global market. However, the market includes a selected number of prominent market players, such as HKM Messtechnik; NicolScales; McCoy Global Inc.; General Electrodynamics Corporation; Henk Maas; Intercomp; Jackson Aircraft Weighing Systems LLC; Langa Industrial S.A.; Vishay Precision Group, Inc; and Teknoscale OY, with substantial customer base and strong market positioning.

At present, the global aircraft weighing system market is principally dominated by the developed regions, such as North America and Europe, accounting for ~69.5% of the global market collectively. Significant factors, such as availability of rapid technological advancements, high disposable individual incomes, technological capabilities, presence of leading aircraft manufacturers, and presence of some of the well-established aircraft weighing system providers have contributed toward the significant consolidation of the market share in North America and Europe. APAC is anticipated to gain significant traction and expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Rising MRO services, growing air traffic, and increasing number of low-cost carriers (LCCs) are some of the factors propelling the growth of the market in APAC.

Companies in the market are highly involved in offering aircraft weighing systems to the end users in order to gain traction in the market. For instance, in December 2017, HAECO Americas selected Intercomp for its AC60-LP platform scale systems for different HAECO Americas MRO locations. Intercomp’s aircraft scales offer high quality scales and accessories, ease of use, and solid-state technology. In the past years, HAECO used top-of-jack method for weighing operations; however, the swift deployment and weighing capabilities of the company’s platform scales provide MRO benefits with effectiveness and less time for the weighing procedure. In August 2020, Intercomp declared that Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services, a US-based leading MRO, completed deployment and training on the company’s AC60-LP scale system. The accuracy and reliability provided by Intercomp’s weighing system is widely used among airlines, MROs, and airframe manufacturers globally.

On the contrary, due to ongoing pandemic, all the major regions, such as Europe, APAC, and North America, have imposed strict restrictions on business activities and movement of goods and people. These factors are anticipated to affect both supply of various aircraft components and parts as well as their demand. This, in turn, negatively impacts the revenue growth of the global aircraft weighing system market to some extent, especially in 2020 and early 2021.

Kelley Blue Book Digital Solutions Help Dealers Achieve Greater Efficiencies Without Sacrificing Profitability

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kelley Blue Book, the No. 1 most trusted third-party automotive resource, is leaning into the first-ever virtual NADA with enhanced digital solutions that offer consumers a more seamless trade-in, car-buying, and owning experience while helping to ensure dealerships achieve greater efficiencies without sacrificing profitability. Kelley Blue Book’s newest offerings featured at NADA 2021 include…

«Last year was full of unexpected challenges and, ultimately, accelerated innovation. We are eager to maintain that momentum through our latest digital solutions,» said Randy Kobat, vice president of operations for Inventory Management Solutions at Cox Automotive. «And while some of 2020’s problems are rolling into 2021, acquiring profitable inventory and understanding consumers’ intent to purchase shouldn’t be negatively impacting your business by not knowing more about the consumers coming to your store.»

Kelley Blue Book® Instant Cash Offer Buying Signals Kelley Blue Book builds on its existing Instant Cash Offer tool to tap into data-driven insights to help unlock the full potential of dealerships’ Instant Cash Offers to customers. The industry-leading tool analyzes customer shopping behavior data from across Cox Automotive data sources to provide a more complete picture of the consumer, allowing for a more targeted approach to offers, and an understanding of their vehicle shopping preferences and purchase timeline without having to manually dig through data. In fact, Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer leads with Buying Signals had a transaction completion rate nearly 24% better than leads without Buying Signals, whether the vehicle was sold through Instant Cash Offer or elsewhere, from July through October 2020.¹

«When a dealership starts the conversation knowing where customers are in their buying journey, they are taking a targeted approach to leads while providing a personalized customer experience,» said Kobat. «These actionable insights enable better engagement with consumers and a data-driven way to acquire profitable inventory.»

Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer Buying Signals appear alongside the Instant Cash Offer within the Dealer Admin Tool and shoppers are tagged according to their purchase timeline, including «Casually Browsing,» «Actively Shopping,» and «Ready to Buy.» Plus, dealerships see shopping preferences like the year, make, model, mileage, and more.

«As an Instant Cash Offer client for many years, this tool has become a vital piece of our inventory acquisition process. Leveraging the data and information from one of the most trusted brands in the automotive market has helped us own more cars for less,» said Jonathan Hakes, used vehicle inventory director at Dorschel VW. «With new functionality from Kelley Blue Book’s Instant Cash Offer Buying Signals, we are eager to take our data-driven approach to the next level. The more we know about a customer, the better the experience we can deliver and make the most of that opportunity.»

Kelley Blue Book® Featured Auto Repair Center allows franchise dealers to turn KBB.com’s millions of service-ready consumer visits per month into new business. In fact, 63% of service customers coming from KBB.com are new to participating dealerships.² Consumers are increasingly looking for guidance on key maintenance, repair, and recall questions, including pricing. The Service and Repair Guide on KBB.com provides consumers with the trusted information they need to make confident decisions about their vehicles and connects them with Featured Auto Repair Center dealerships that can do the work. Also, Kelley Blue Book’s Fair Repair Range guides owners on service and repair price ranges based on regionalized service pricing.

If dealerships are looking to protect their market share and beat out local competition, as a Premium Featured Auto Repair Center dealer, dealerships can claim brand-exclusive placement on KBB.com’s Service and Repair Guide for their area, making it the first listing consumers see when searching for dealerships to service their vehicles.

The 2021 NADA Show will be held via a virtual experience February 9-11, 2021. To learn more about Kelley Blue Book Instant Cash Offer Buying Signals, visit https://b2b.kbb.com/ico/buying-signals/.
