Hylla Vintage Hotel Triumphs in 2025 Trip.com Choice Awards, Redefining High-End Vacation Scenarios in Asia

Published

on

LIJIANG, China, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hylla Vintage Hotel has earned international recognition with three top honors in the 2025 Trip.com Choice Awards. The hotel has been recognized among the “World’s 100 Most Beautiful Hotels,” “Asia’s 100 Most Beautiful Hotels,” and “Asia’s 100 Most Luxurious Hotels.” This remarkable achievement underscores the hotel’s exceptional blend of natural aesthetics, cultural heritage, and local hospital philosophy, reinforcing its position as a leader in the high-end resort hotel sector in China and enhancing its international influence.

The Trip.com Choice Awards is recognized for its dual evaluation system, which combines comprehensive data analytics—spanning over 1,000 hotels—with on-site assessments. Hylla’s success lies in its immersive cultural experiences, seamless integration with the natural landscape, and innovative service offerings. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, seamlessly incorporating alpine meadows and ancient villages to provide an immersive retreat experience. It also blends traditional Naxi architecture with modern design elements, offers professional local concierge services, and hosts a diverse array of Naxi cultural activities. The Trip.com Selection Committee remarked, “Hylla sets a new benchmark in luxury hospitality by harmoniously balancing eco-friendly practices with cultural resonance. This approach not only meets the expectations of international travelers for luxury travel experiences but also imbues the hotel with a profound local spiritual essence.”

Zhou Yuwen, Co-Founder of the Hylla brand and General Manager of Hylla Hotels & Resorts, stated, “By integrating the national visa-free policy with Yunnan’s cultural and tourism appeal, Hylla Vintage Hotel offers three key advantages in attracting Southeast Asian tourists: shorter travel decision-making cycles paired with longer stays for more immersive experiences, the dual allure of cultural familiarity and natural diversity, and the tailored enhancement of hotel services and activities.” For instance, the 240-hour visa-free transit policy allows travelers from Southeast Asia to move easily across provincial borders. Tourists from countries like Thailand and Malaysia can quickly reach Yunnan via the Lao-China Railway or direct flights, such as the Bangkok-Lijiang route. Lijiang, home to Hylla, serves as a tourism hub in northwestern Yunnan and is well-positioned to accommodate this influx of travelers. Southeast Asian tourists, who often have a keen interest in ethnic minority cultures, will find the hotel’s proximity to significant cultural sites, including the Jietuo Forest, the birthplace of the Mushi Tusi, and Baisha Ancient Town, a Tang Dynasty Buddhist art center, particularly appealing. The hotel offers immersive experiences such as thangka painting and Naxi home visits, accommodating their desires for cultural exploration. Additionally, coming from tropical climates, Southeast Asian tourists are drawn to ecological landscapes featuring snow-capped mountains and alpine meadows. The hotel’s panoramic, snow-view guest rooms offer a distinctive natural experience that resonates with this traveler interest. According to Trip.com’s 2025 data, Hylla boasts a 30% repurchase rate among Southeast Asian customers. The region’s high-net-worth individuals are increasingly drawn to “healing vacations,” and the hotel caters to this preference by offering snowy mountain meditation courses and tea sound healing sessions. The property also features detached courtyard rooms with excellent privacy and hosts private banquets with stunning snowy mountain views, fulfilling the dual expectations for a sense of escape and high-end social settings. For Southeast Asian families, Hylla provides exclusive children’s services, such as vegetable picking and Naxi handicraft classes. Activities like Georo Coffee Bar’s starry bonfire party are designed to be enjoyable for all ages. To address language barriers, security concerns, and any issues that can arise with cross-border transactions, the hotel offers English-speaking butler service, 24-hour security and convenient local currency exchange services. The guest room and outdoor core areas are fully separated to ensure safety and privacy, with non-guests restricted from entering the guest room area.

According to Trip.com data, searches for net zero carbon hotels by travelers for Southeast Asia surged by 89% year-on-year in 2025. As a prime example of eco-friendly and luxury hotels in China, Hylla’s focus on sustainability is set to further boost the hotel’s international competitiveness. Zhou Yuwen remarked, “The first phase of the hotel spans 233,333 square meters, nestled against the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range. It is uniquely positioned among snow-capped mountains, forests, and ancient villages, offering a wealth of ecological and cultural resources.” From inception to development, the project has consistently upheld a commitment to low-carbon, eco-friendly practices, and community contribution, positioning itself as a leader and exemplar in China’s ecological sustainability landscape. To further integrate nature and humanity, Hylla plans to build a comprehensive ecological cluster for a secluded snowy mountain vacation, designed to evolve organically over time.

By

SPANISH FORK, Utah, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vettisure today announced its official launch, introducing a modern approach to healthcare compliance intelligence built to meet the evolving needs of healthcare organizations, credentialing entities, consumer reporting agencies (CRAs), and healthcare technology platforms.

Founded by industry veterans with decades of experience in healthcare credentialing and compliance, Vettisure was created to address growing frustration with legacy providers that often deliver noisy data, inflexible pricing, and outdated technology.

“Throughout my career, one thought kept resurfacing: there’s got to be another way,” said Questin Francis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vettisure. “Healthcare organizations need more than access to data. They need intelligence they can trust. They need cleaner results, greater transparency, and partners who understand the importance of protecting patients and maintaining compliance. That’s why we built Vettisure.”

Vettisure provides comprehensive healthcare compliance intelligence designed to support safer staffing decisions and stronger compliance programs. The company’s solutions include federal and state exclusion screening, board actions and sanctions, abuse registries, and other critical datasets healthcare organizations rely upon to mitigate risk and maintain regulatory compliance.

Unlike traditional providers that simply aggregate and distribute data, Vettisure focuses on transforming primary-source information into actionable intelligence. The company leverages advanced technologies and expert validation processes to reduce false positives, improve usability, and provide clients with the context needed to make informed decisions.

Key capabilities include:

Comprehensive federal and state exclusion screeningExtensive board action and disciplinary data coverageAccess to underlying board documentation and source records, where availableAI-generated summaries and contextual insights that simplify complex findingsFlexible API, batch, and data lease delivery modelsData-only and fully verified service optionsOne-time searches and continuous monitoring capabilitiesEnterprise-grade security controls designed to meet SOC 2 Type II requirements

Vettisure’s flexible commercial approach also differentiates the company from traditional providers. In addition to transaction-based services, Vettisure offers subscription and data lease models that provide organizations with predictable costs and the ability to integrate compliance intelligence more deeply into their operational workflows.

“We believe better data leads to better decisions—and better decisions protect patients,” Francis added. “Every credentialing decision represents a moment of trust. By delivering clean, auditable, and actionable intelligence, we’re helping organizations strengthen compliance programs, reduce administrative burden, and focus on what matters most: delivering safe, high-quality care.”

Healthcare organizations face increasing pressure from regulators, accreditation bodies, and patients to demonstrate robust compliance practices and maintain effective oversight of their workforces. Vettisure was built to help organizations meet those expectations through modern technology, responsive partnership, and a relentless focus on data quality.

Info-Tech LIVE 2026 Draws Thousands of CIOs to Las Vegas to Tackle AI Execution and Enterprise Value

Published

on

By

Info-Tech LIVE 2026 brought together thousands of CIOs and senior IT leaders at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino from June 9 to 11 to explore how agentic AI is reshaping enterprise technology, cybersecurity, data, operating models, and IT leadership. Across keynotes and analyst-led sessions, the event reinforced a central message for technology executives navigating the current landscape: AI value within organizations depends on disciplined execution, strong governance, reliable data foundations, and the ability to scale the right work.

LAS VEGAS, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Info-Tech Research Group has wrapped Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas, where thousands of CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, and senior IT leaders gathered at the Bellagio from June 9 to 11 to explore how organizations can move from AI ambition to measurable enterprise value. Centered on the theme Agentic IT: From Hype to Value, the three-day conference featured industry keynotes, hands-on workshops for IT leaders, a record number of software exhibitors, exclusive roundtables, breakouts, lightning rounds, and peer-led sessions focused on the leadership, governance, security, and operational disciplines required to scale agentic AI responsibly.

As organizations move beyond AI experimentation and begin embedding agentic capabilities into workflows, the global research and advisory firm set an agenda that prepared IT leaders to practically navigate new expectations about value realization, accountability, and execution. Throughout Info-Tech LIVE 2026, data-backed insights from analysts, speakers, and industry experts emphasized that the next phase of enterprise AI will not be defined by adoption alone, but by how effectively CIOs redesign operating models, strengthen data and security foundations, and decide which AI initiatives deserve investment.

Research from Info-Tech shared during the opening keynote reinforced the urgency of moving from AI enthusiasm to disciplined execution. Findings presented from the firm’s AI Adoption in the Enterprise Survey revealed that 91% of IT executives are bullish on AI and 96% expect AI budgets to increase over the next 12 months. However, only 42% of organizations report cross-departmental AI adoption with measurable impact, and only 50% have a board-approved dedicated AI strategy. The findings underscore a central theme from LIVE 2026: AI value depends on clear ownership, deliberate investment choices, governance, data readiness, and measurable execution.

“Our 2026 edition of Info-Tech LIVE in Las Vegas made clear that CIOs are no longer trying to prove whether AI matters; they’re now being asked to prove where it creates measurable value,” says Chief Research Officer at Info-Tech Research Group, Gord Harrison. “Agentic IT requires a different operating discipline that connects value creation and control through stronger strategy, governance, data readiness, security, and measurement. As shared across keynotes, panels, analyst one-on-ones, and privately amongst peers at various networking events throughout the week, the leaders who succeed will be the ones who know which AI bets to make, which to stop, and how to scale the work that delivers real outcomes.”

Key Sessions from Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas

Across the event, Info-Tech analysts and featured speakers outlined how technology leaders can prepare their organizations for more autonomous systems while maintaining control, resilience, and business alignment.

The 200+ sessions reflected the broader message carried through Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas: organizations are entering an era in which AI buy-in is no longer the central challenge, with execution becoming the differentiator. From agentic enterprise design and cybersecurity engineering to data-driven decision-making and CIO leadership, Info-Tech’s largest event to date highlighted the need for IT leaders to select the right workflows, strengthen governance, define ownership, and scale AI only where it can create measurable value.

The following is a summary of several of the major themes explored at Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas:

Agentic IT: From Hype to Value
Opening the conference, Info-Tech Research Group CEO Tom Zehren challenged CIOs and senior IT leaders to move beyond AI hype and focus on the operating discipline required to convert AI demand into measurable enterprise value. The keynote introduced Info-Tech’s Agentic IT Framework, built around four priorities: owning the AI mandate, picking the right AI bets, enforcing AI discipline, and proving and scaling AI value. Zehren’s session also highlighted new Info-Tech survey findings showing that while IT executives are broadly bullish on AI, organizations still need stronger strategy, governance, data readiness, and execution models to realize impact.Reinventing Cybersecurity in the AI Era
Technical Counselor Erik Avakian explored how AI is forcing cybersecurity leaders to rethink a discipline that was built for human-scale operations. His session framed threat detection and response, vulnerability management, and compliance management as engineering challenges rather than just security problems, as AI increases both the speed of attacks and the complexity of defenses. Avakian highlighted the need for security leaders to audit data and workflows, define guardrails before deploying agents, and prepare teams for new roles such as CyberAI agent supervisors and agent engineers.Designed for Autonomy: Inside the Agentic Enterprise
On the mainstage, Carlene McCubbin, AVP of Agentic AI Implementation, explored what it takes to build an organization that runs on AI, not just one that uses it. The session articulated the shift from AI adoption to transformation, moving from assisted and augmented work to agentic workflows, orchestrated systems, and enterprise-wide compounding value. To achieve this shift, McCubbin explained that leaders must start with the right workflows, architect agents for governed execution, and ensure production-ready systems have clear ownership, bounded permissions, defined incident paths, and observable trace logs before scaling.Agents 2.0: Architect for Autonomy
Martin Bufi, Principal Research Director, shared with attendees implementation evidence from a year of agentic AI development, including 13 prototypes, 63 agents built, and 123 tools created across 13 workflows and five domains. His keynote emphasized that autonomy without architecture creates risk, and that successful agentic systems must be mapped, engineered, and governed before they can scale. Bufi walked through practical lessons from the work, including the need to standardize workflows before automation, design agents around specific jobs rather than broad generalist tasks, build tool integrations deliberately, and ensure every agent can be measured, stopped, and improved.Become an Exponential CIO
The keynote from Geoff Nielson, SVP of Brand, Reach & Influence, examined how the CIO mandate is evolving as technology becomes more central to enterprise performance. Nielson highlighted for the nearly 4,000 IT leaders in attendance the gap between where C-suite leaders expect CIOs to operate and where many IT departments are today, with many still constrained by firefighting, immature processes, resource scarcity, stakeholder pressure, and under-leveraged data. The eight drivers of IT success were also shared, including stakeholder satisfaction, strong core IT processes, leadership development, mission-critical project delivery, right-sized risk, vendor effectiveness, evidence-based decisions, and business transformation.Tech Trends 2027
Executive Counselor Rob Meikle previewed the technology forces expected to shape IT decision-making in 2027 and beyond. The early look at the tech trends the firm is currently tracking urged leaders to move beyond instinct, hype, and headlines when placing technology bets, especially as agentic AI reshapes the technology stack, talent models, vendor markets, enterprise operations, and infrastructure decisions. For the Las Vegas gathering, Meikle outlined four major trend themes, including the shift in the IT stack to support agentic AI, the redrawing of talent and vendor strategies, the convergence of physical and digital operations, and the growing influence of geopolitical pressures on technology investment.Securing Agentic AI and the New Security Reality
The presentation from Research Director Pearl Almeida focused on the controls organizations must prioritize before scaling agentic AI. During Almeida’s talk, she emphasized that traditional security controls were built for predictable systems, while agentic AI introduces dynamic reasoning, shifting permissions, nondeterministic decisions, and autonomous loops. Almeida presented a layered approach to securing agents, including API security, MCP gateway enforcement, identity governance, logging, baselining, and monitoring, while framing autonomy boundaries as the new security perimeter for AI-enabled systems.

Through its research-driven agenda, Info-Tech LIVE 2026 in Las Vegas provided CIOs and senior IT leaders with practical insights into how agentic AI can be governed, secured, and scaled to deliver measurable business outcomes. The conference underscored that the path from hype to value requires more than technology adoption, including operating discipline, enterprise design, workforce readiness, and leadership capable of translating AI potential into organizational results.

Photos, press releases, and related assets are available on the LIVE Media Kit page. Keynote presentations from the event are also accessible through the Info-Tech LIVE Hub, offering additional access to the research, frameworks, and insights shared during the conference.
