During the summer months, travelers can experience Hong Kong’s outdoor side through adventures across Lantau Island, Cheung Chau, and Sai Kung, destinations known for their scenic coastlines, hiking trails, beaches, and island-hopping experiences. Visitors can also enjoy harbor front activities, open-air events, and local markets that contribute to the city’s vibrant summer atmosphere.

Beverly Au Yong, Director, Middle East & Central Asia,Hong Kong Tourism Board said: “Hong Kong offers an incredible variety of experiences within a compact and accessible destination. Whether travelers are drawn by culture, cuisine, outdoor exploration, family attractions, or festive celebrations, they can enjoy a different side of Hong Kong throughout the year. Together with Wego, we look forward to welcoming more visitors from the Middle East and sharing the experiences that make Hong Kong one of Asia’s most exciting destinations.”

As the year draws to a close, the campaign will spotlight Hong Kong’s festive season, featuring WinterFest, holiday markets, seasonal light displays, harborfront celebrations, and New Year festivities.

Global Tech Shift: Tune Talk Launches World’s First Network-Enforced Child Safety Mobile Plan, Bypassing App-Level Limitations

Published

on

By

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysian mobile operator Tune Talk redefined the standard how child online safety is enforced. As governments work to regulate safety across multiple platforms and applications, Tune Talk is bringing enforcement to a single point, the network through the launch of Epik+ Family Safe, the world’s first family mobile plan with integrated one-tap parental control enforced entirely at the point of connectivity.

Built on Tune Talk’s cloud-native network and enabled in collaboration with Nokia, Epik+ Family Safe moves enforcement to the point where digital access begins. With a single tap, parents can activate one of three protection levels and restrict access across up to 56 content categories, helping manage children’s access to social media and other online content through the connectivity layer itself.

“Mobile connectivity has become a child’s gateway to the internet, and we believe safety should begin there. With Epik+ Family Safe, Tune Talk is showing how a Malaysia-built innovation offers a new global blueprint for telcos. Our ambition is to demonstrate a practical implementation model that challenges how the industry thinks about connectivity and inspires a broader conversation on how child online safety can be delivered,” said Gurtaj Singh Padda, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tune Talk.

This infrastructure pivot aligns with a growing global consensus: child’s online safety cannot be managed solely at the edge of the experience. While governments worldwide are setting the direction for child online safety, the gap between policy and everyday enforcement continues to widen. Tune Talk’s Epik+ Family Safe closes that gap, offering a tangible solution that works seamlessly in day-to-day family environments.

While Epik+ Family Safe is launching exclusively in Malaysia, Tune Talk believes the initiative demonstrates how telecommunications infrastructure can become part of the online safety ecosystem, offering a practical implementation model as policymakers around the world continue exploring new approaches to protecting children online.

Epik+ Family Safe is available as a dedicated 1 Parent + 1 Child prepaid mobile plan featuring integrated network-level parental controls, 700GB of high-speed data, and personal accident insurance coverage of up to USD125,000.*

The company said it hopes the launch will encourage broader industry discussion on how connectivity providers can complement existing regulation, platform safeguards and parental responsibility by making online safety easier to implement in everyday family life.

Sonilo Refines Its Video-to-Music Model with V1.1 Update

Published

By

The update builds on Sonilo’s mission to help creators generate original music directly from their footage in seconds, without text prompts, stock libraries or copyright risk.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sonilo, the world’s first professionally licensed video-to-music AI platform, has released V1.1, an update that makes its AI-generated soundtracks fit video more precisely than ever.

The update sharpens the proprietary model’s ability to read a video’s structure and emotional arc, producing soundtracks that track the edit more closely and sound more polished as a result.

“With V1.1, we are improving how our model understands the rhythm, structure and emotion of a video, so the soundtrack can feel like it was made for the footage from the beginning,” said Shawn Song, CEO of Sonilo.

Since launching in April, Sonilo has built a following among filmmakers by removing the two biggest friction points in scoring a video: searching stock libraries and manually syncing music to the edit. The platform analyzes the pacing, mood and structure of the footage and generates an original soundtrack to fit automatically.

Each upload returns three soundtrack options for the same clip, letting users compare styles and choose what works best for their edit. Generation happens in real time, so creators can begin previewing audio before the full track has rendered. The music matches the exact video length automatically, with no prompt-writing or genre searching required.

While most AI music tools are trained on unlicensed content, Sonilo is built on professionally licensed catalogs. Artists are compensated for the work that trains the model, and every soundtrack the platform generates is cleared for commercial use.

“Adding music to a video used to mean choosing between speed, fit and legal clarity, and usually sacrificing at least one,” Song said. “Sonilo removes that choice entirely. Upload your footage, and you get an original, licensed soundtrack that fits in seconds.”

About Sonilo

Headquartered in San Francisco, Sonilo is the world’s first professionally licensed video-to-music AI platform, built for the creators defining the next era of content. Powered by its proprietary Sonilo v1.0 model, it composes original music directly from your footage in seconds, without a single text prompt. Trusted by professional creators and integrated with leading platforms, Sonilo is built on one belief: every original video deserves an equally original soundtrack.
