From SpongeBob SquarePants to DORA, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Star Trek™ and PAW Patrol®, Nickelodeon Land and Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya are set to become a playground of fun and adventure for all ages

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On 15th January, 2025, The Land of Legends will open its doors to its newest attractions: Türkiye’s first Nickelodeon Land, and first and only Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts in the country. With three brand-new, fun-filled areas, a new hotel and the chance to meet Nickelodeon characters, the new attractions will immerse guests in a Nickelodeon adventure.

The new Nickelodeon Land will open at The Land of Legends, Antalya, which is a one-stop shop full of adventure, offering guests of all ages the chance to experience dizzying heights, thrilling rides, and top-class entertainment all in one place, whatever their age.

The first Nickelodeon development in Türkiye marks a significant step forward for the Turkish tourism industry and The Land of Legends. The brand’s global significance means the new opening – earmarked for January 2025 – is a key project and investment for Türkiye. The collaboration between The Land of Legends and Paramount Global’s Nickelodeon, one of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, reflects the growth of the Turkish hospitality and entertainment industry.

NEW for 2025 – The Land of Legends Nickelodeon Land and Nickelodeon Hotel & Resorts Antalya
Opening 15th January 2025, Nickelodeon Land consists of three unique areas – the underwater Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants, intergalactic Star Trek: Wild Galaxy, based on Star Trek: Prodigy, and the open-air Adventure Bay PAW Patrol. Across the new development, guests will experience thrilling experiences, from riding the giant Jellyfish Jam swing in Bikini Bottom, to experiencing an adventure through space in the Star Trek: Wild Galaxy 5D cinema and flying high in Skye’s Flyers helicopter-style ride.

At Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya, each guest will live out their own legend and have the chance to expand and exercise their imagination with a range of interactive experiences with Nickelodeon friends, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora. As soon as guests check in to the new Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort, they’ll be treated to a feast for all the senses. Bright colour schemes, innovative designs and kid-friendly facilities will ensure each member of the family feels at home.

The hotel rooms have been specially designed in one of five concept themes – DORA, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek – continuing the fun-filled family adventures.

Younger guests will be amazed with an array of experiences, from Character Dining to Club Nick, where kids can play, learn and develop with their new friends. The outdoor pool area features an Aqua Tower, Spray Area and in true Nickelodeon style, a chance to be Slimed. Away from the fun and frolics, parents can find the time to switch off at Anjana Spa, which will offer holistic therapies, massages and traditional Turkish Hammam or let off steam in the hotel’s fully-equipped gym with yoga and Pilates studios.

The vibrant park experience begins at the iconic Chateau in The Land of Legends Shopping Avenue, the centre of nightly entertainment, where guests will mingle with their favourite Nickelodeon characters and shop for special mementos to remind them of their magical trip, from plushies to clothes, mugs, keyrings, toys and accessories.

About The Land of Legends
Designed for families, friends or couples who love adventure, adrenaline-inducing rollercoasters and creating unforgettable moments, The Land of Legends is perfectly placed for an action-packed thrill-seeking adventure, whilst being close enough to the beachside resort of Belek with sister properties, Rixos Premium Belek and Rixos Park Belek, for a day relaxing by the ocean.

The Land of Legends Theme Park offers holidaymakers an exciting adventure, whatever their age. With highlights including one of the world’s longest water slides, Turtle Coaster, the 62-metre-high Hyper Coaster and the legendary WaterMania, this is an adventure-seeker’s paradise.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down as guests enjoy nightly evening entertainment, with musical boat parades, leisurely experiences at Marinart, a choice of innovative restaurants and over 170 international shops. Away from white knuckle rides and exciting amusements, the expansive resort also boasts a 401-room hotel, complete with an award-winning spa, Turkish bath, and swimming pool for guests to truly relax after a fun-filled day.

About Kingdom Hotel
Situated in the holiday hotspot of Belek on the Turkish Riviera, lies Türkiye’s first and only kids concept hotel, Kingdom Hotel, located in The Land of Legends. Families here are front of mind; all hotel rooms have been specially designed for younger guests, from the vibrant décor to the removal of sharp corners and views of the rollercoasters from each balcony. And the best part of staying at The Kingdom Hotel is the proximity to the theme park, which is just a short stroll away.

This is a hotel with kid’s entertainment a number one priority; from PlayStations in every room, a sweet bar in the lobby, dance machines, air hockey, and dedicated PlayStation zone with gaming pods where they can play with their newfound friends – kids will be mesmerised from the moment they walk through the door.

In the main restaurant, children will be able to dine next to their parents but at their own dedicated table, which is at the perfect kid-friendly height and can enjoy special themed breakfasts with some of their favourite characters. Plus, with the hotel group’s ALL-IN concept, parents needn’t worry about any extra or hidden costs.

Finloop Becomes Industry Pioneer in HKMA’s EnsembleTX, Exploring Compliant Tokenisation Applications

Published

By

HONG KONG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Finloop Finance Technology Holding Limited (“Finloop”), an AI-driven global one-stop Web5 (Web2+Web3) wealth technology platform, today announced that it has become an industry pioneer in EnsembleTX, launched by Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), to explore faster, more transparent, and more efficient settlement of real-value tokenised transactions.

HKMA launched the Project Ensemble sandbox in August 2024 to accelerate adoption of tokenisation. In November 2025, it introduced EnsembleTX, marking the commencement of the pilot phase of Project Ensemble. This represented a significant advancement in enabling real-value transactions involving tokenised deposits and digital assets within a controlled pilot environment. In its initial phase, EnsembleTX focuses on empowering market participants to utilise tokenised deposits in tokenised money market fund transactions, and to manage liquidity and treasury needs in real time. Moving forward, EnsembleTX will further support the interbank settlement of tokenised deposit transactions in tokenised Central Bank Money (CeBM) on a 24/7 basis. 

Finloop has built FinRWA Platform (FRP), Asia’s first one-stop RWA (Real-World Asset) technology, issuance, and distribution platform. The platform supports multi-party participation across the full lifecycle of tokenisation, involving issuers, custodians, tokenisation agents, and other institutions. Finloop has achieved several industry breakthroughs in the tokenisation sector, including supporting the distribution of multi-currency tokenised funds and launching Hong Kong’s first technical solution for a unit trust tokenised fund. Finloop has also advanced RWA projects spanning cultural and creative IPs, gold mines, oil and gas fields, and automobiles, leveraging digital assets to empower the real economy. Its subsidiary is also an authorised distributor of the regulated Hong Kong dollar stablecoin HKDAP. Through its integration into the EnsembleTX, Finloop will draw on its technology solutions that bridge Web2 and Web3 to support the compliant and efficient issuance and distribution of tokenised assets among institutions.

Cai Hua, Chief Executive Officer of Finloop, said: “Finloop is honored to participate in the HKMA’s EnsembleTX. Hong Kong is at the forefront globally in the regulatory foresight and ecosystem development of digital assets and RWAs. Finloop will fully leverage its core strengths in tokenisation technology and institutional-grade wealth technology, actively follow the guidance of regulators, and work closely with tokenised deposit banks and other industry pioneers. We aim to provide institutional clients with a secure, compliant, transparent, and efficient trading experience for tokenised assets, and jointly expand Hong Kong’s tokenisation ecosystem.”

Looking ahead, Finloop plans to build on its practical experience in EnsembleTX to actively explore a broader range of compliant use cases, including tokenised money market funds, tokenised ETFs, tokenised private funds, tokenised notes, and related treasury management. It will continue to leverage its technological advantages in connecting Web2 and Web3 to drive the efficient issuance, distribution, trading, and settlement of relevant tokenised assets among institutions, further advancing the development of Hong Kong’s tokenisation ecosystem.

Xinhua Silk Road: Foreign journalists explore Yuhang’s innovation-driven development

Published

By

BEIJING, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Journalists from South Korean, Turkish, U.S. and Cuban media outlets visited several hi-tech companies and modern agricultural demonstration parks in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, on October 26-28.

Through site visits and hands-on experiences, they gained firsthand insights into Yuhang’s progress in integrating technological and industrial innovation.

They began their tour at Scantech, a leading comprehensive 3D solutions provider, where they explored and experienced 3D visual digitization technologies on October 26.

After trying out a 3D scanner, Isaura Diez, a journalist with Cuba’s Prensa Latina news agency, said this was her first time using a scanner, and was deeply impressed by both the device and the technology behind it. What particularly impressed her were its wide-ranging applications, including in the medical and industrial fields, she added.

On October 27, the group visited RoboCT Technology, a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to the development and application of exoskeleton robotics, to learn about the research, development and practical applications of exoskeleton robots.

At RoboCT, they learned how exoskeletons help patients with lower-limb impairments from spinal cord injuries and strokes stand and walk again, and saw brain-computer interface technology enabling thought-controlled rehabilitation.

After trying on the GoGo-H Pro exoskeleton, a reporter from Turkish newspaper Aydinlik praised the equipment for its incredibly light weight. It felt just like a part of my own body, he said, adding that what impressed him was experiencing firsthand how China’s advanced technologies are being used to improve people’s lives.

At Xynova, a leading supplier of key components in the humanoid robotics sector, Dan Sandoval, a contract photographer of the Associated Press, put on its high-DoF dexterous hand product Flex 2. He said the product could perform all the movements that a human hand can make and he hoped to see it applied in an increasingly wide range of scenarios in the future.

The journalists later visited the Qianxi eco-friendly agricultural demonstration park in Jingshan Town. There, they learned how digital rice seedling cultivation and AI-powered management systems are being applied throughout the entire rice production process.

As Hangzhou’s new urban center, Yuhang is advancing technological and industrial integration, driving momentum in the digital economy, cutting-edge technologies, urban-rural development and rural revitalization.
