Zhoushan and Trip.com Group join forces to drive island tourism development and enhance global brand influence

SHANGHAI, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Trip.com Group and Zhoushan Municipal Development and Reform Commission have jointly launched the “Hello Zhoushan” x Trip.com Group YOYO-themed series to support the economic and cultural enrichment of China’s islands, while elevating Zhoushan’s tourism profile on the global stage. 

As part of the broader “Hello Zhoushan” initiative launched in 2023, Zhoushan, a picturesque archipelago in China, has adopted the strategy of “one island, one product, one policy.” This approach aims to boost living standards and enhance community well-being through high-quality tourism development. By blending natural beauty with sustainable practices, Zhoushan seeks to create a distinct cultural tourism experience unique to the islands.

In 2024, Zhoushan marks the second anniversary of this ambitious project. It has thus launched the “Hello Zhoushan” x Trip.com Group YOYO series on the Trip.com app and social platforms, to strengthen international collaboration and expand its circle of “island friends”.

The colourful and vibrant logos series symbolises the unique beauty of each island in Zhoushan, while also highlighting Trip.com Group’s mascot YOYO’s adventurous spirit and love for discovering new destinations.

Inspired by various travel themes and scenarios, YOYO is depicted in a playful array of cartoon images. As the first official “Friend of the Island,” YOYO leads global partners on a journey to explore the depths of the East China Sea, greeting each island and unveiling a variety of activities—from local cuisine and sports to sea fishing and camping.

The collaboration between Trip.com Group and Zhoushan will focus on three key objectives: increasing brand visibility, driving customer traffic, and boosting consumer spending.

By launching the joint “Hello Zhoushan” x Trip.com Group YOYO brand globally, along with a series of creative online marketing campaigns and offline events like an island food search, the goal is to enhance the visibility of Zhoushan’s island tourism. International travellers can also further discover its offerings through innovative ads on the Trip.com app.

Through targeted promotions to the Gen Z market and community activities across all four seasons of the year, this partnership also aims to expand Zhoushan’s reach and popularity among young people, professionals and tourists.

Moreover, initiatives like the Zhoushan Island Homestay Practitioner Training Program and the customised “Island Friends” product offering will enhance the hospitality services, operational efficiency, and pricing strategies of the island’s tourism. These efforts aim to broaden the visitor base while increasing tourism-related revenue.

Looking ahead, Trip.com Group plans to leverage resources from the Tourism Industry Alliance and its global partners to bring more corporate brands on board with the “Hello Zhoushan” initiative. By expanding its network and infusing fresh momentum into Zhoushan’s island tourism, Trip.com Group aims to drive transformative growth and elevate the region’s tourism landscape.

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ERETEC Inc. (CEO Man Young Chi), Korea’s largest electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber specialist, is launching a full-scale expansion into global markets, building on its track record of constructing large-scale and special-purpose chambers for advanced industries, including defense, aerospace, and future mobility.

“We will not rest on our laurels as Korea’s first and largest. With our optimized bespoke solutions and technical expertise, we aim to become a world-leading EMC chamber specialist.” Man Young Chi, CEO of ERETEC Inc.

ERETEC is a leading provider of turnkey solutions for large defense systems, satellite and space components (EMC/RF), automotive applications, and ultra-large commercial EMC chambers exceeding 20 meters. The company holds Korea’s largest track record in special-purpose chambers requiring advanced technical expertise, including the nation’s first satellite launch vehicle EMC chamber and first high-power RCS EMC chamber, setting the standard for Korea’s EMC infrastructure market.

An Unrivaled Track Record at Home as a Springboard for Global Expansion

Global demand for high-performance, large-scale EMC chambers has surged in recent years, driven by rising defense exports worldwide and the rapid growth of the electric vehicle and aerospace industries. Confident that its expertise in designing and building chambers of the highest technical complexity will give it a substantial technological edge in global markets, ERETEC is accelerating its overseas expansion.

Measuring 30 meters long, 25 meters wide, and 12 meters high, the chamber features an expansive Ø11-meter Quiet Zone, far exceeding the Ø6 meters at the upper end of conventional 10-meter EMC chambers. This allows large commercial vehicles such as electric buses and hydrogen trucks to be tested precisely in their entirety. Combined with a specialized area that supports loads of up to 50 tons, the chamber provides a world-class environment optimized for EMC testing of heavy zero-emission vehicles.

Bespoke Turnkey Solutions as a Global Differentiator

ERETEC’s core competitive advantage in the global chamber market lies in its ability to design bespoke chamber environments precisely tailored to each customer’s needs and product characteristics.

New electrification index shows China out front as US risks stalling and Europe’s policies outpace delivery

Published

on

By

LONDON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China is pulling ahead on electrification, while the US risks losing momentum and some of Europe’s biggest economies have yet to translate policy into delivery, according to new analysis.

The Electrification Competitiveness Index assesses progress in 16 countries, measuring electrification delivery on the ground and the conditions needed for further progress. These enabling and deployment factors indicate how ready economies are for businesses to electrify operations.

The analysis exposes a widespread implementation gap, with policy and other enabling conditions ahead of electrification deployment across most countries.

The Index, developed by We Mean Business Coalition with support from RMI, assesses Australia, Brazil, China, Ethiopia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, UK and US.

Electrification, combined with clean power, can reduce fossil fuel reliance, strengthen energy security, reduce exposure to volatile fuel prices, support growth and productivity, cut emissions and improve health through cleaner air. It will be a key focus at COP31.

Countries are grouped in four categories:

Solid foundation – China, France, Spain: relatively strong deployment and strong enablers. China has the highest deployment score, backed by coordinated grid investment, industrial policy and incentives. France and Spain score well on grid performance and clean power shares. In all three countries, electricity prices are more competitive against gas than in most other economies assessed.

Potential for take-off – Germany, India, Italy, Poland, UK: enablers higher than deployment. The UK has the largest gap between policy and delivery. Electricity costs around five times as much as gas per unit of energy for UK industry, while Germany faces a grid connection backlog of hundreds of gigawatts.

Risk of stalling – US, Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, South Korea: deployment sits at/above the halfway mark with enablers below the median. In the US federal policy reversals and grid bottlenecks risk slowing momentum. The US has more than 2TW of generation and storage waiting in interconnection queues, compared with roughly 1.3TW of existing generating capacity.

Early-stage adoption – Indonesia, the Philippines and South Africa: below the halfway marks on deployment and enablers. Clean power accounts for 18% of generation in Indonesia and South Africa and 23% in the Philippines, while grid investment in all three is below 0.4% of GDP, against 0.65% average across the sample.
