Asia-Pacific’s Travel Industry Could Be the First to Recover by 2023

MELBOURNE, Australia - November 2, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

According to Inspiring Vacations, provider of exciting worldwide experiences including tours to Alaska, Scandinavia tours and everywhere in between, the pace of recovery for the tourism industry has been strong, as more places reduce or remove travel restrictions and the demand pent up during the pandemic is released.

Inspiring Vacations explains that certain factors pose a risk to the recovery of the travel industry around the world including rising inflation, high energy prices, labour shortages at airports and lockdowns in China.

Despite these concerns, the annual report produced by London-based World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) shows that Asia-Pacific is expected to recover at an incredibly strong pace. The report highlighted that tourism revenue dropped in the Asia-Pacific by 59% in 2020, which was more than anywhere else in the world.

The Alaska tours operator explains that in 2021, with most countries in the region maintaining strong border restrictions, recovery to the travel industry was muted. The WTTC report showed revenue from tourism in Asia-Pacific contributed only 16% to regional gross domestic product while in Europe that figure was 28% and 23% in North America.

This year, however, the WTTC report indicates that Asia-Pacific travel revenue is expected to contribute 71% to the overall economy. Inspiring Vacations says travel in the region is skyrocketing, with restrictions eased or removed in most countries.

The WTTC report expects Asia-Pacific's travel industry to continue to gain traction with positive growth forecast in 2023 and 2024. It estimates that by 2025, travel revenue will contribute 32% more to the region's GDP than pre-pandemic levels.

In more exciting news for the industry, the WTTC report predicts that 126 million new jobs will be added in the next decade, with 65% of the new jobs expected to be in Asia-Pacific.

A proudly Australian owned and operarted company, Inspiring Vacations offers tours to suit everyone at unbeatable, value for money prices. To discover more about exciting worldwide experiences including guided tours of Alaska and tours to Scandinavia, get in touch with Inspiring Vacations.

GerdLi: New Supplement for Heartburn Was Made by a Physician Who Sought Natural Heartburn Relief

GerdLi: New Supplement for Heartburn Was Made by a Physician Who Sought Natural Heartburn...

After developing severe esophagitis and being prescribed life-long medications, Jimmy Minhas, a doctor and founder of GerdLi, researched and created the world's first natural supplement to relieve heartburn and acid reflux.

SEATTLE - November 1, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Physician-engineered GerdLi is the natural answer for people who live with acid reflux and heartburn. It's a premium-formulated antacid that maintains gut health and allows one to get back to eating the foods one loves. For those who hate to swallow pills, GerdLi comes as a small, easy-to-swallow capsule.

People that suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are left to take prescription medications and must reduce or eliminate eating spicy foods, acrid vegetables, fatty, fried foods, fruit juices, wine, coffee and soda. Even large meals or eating before bedtime can cause uncomfortable acid reflux symptoms and, at times, damage to the esophagus.

GerdLi contains D-limonene, derived from the rinds of citrus fruits such as oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes and grapefruits and works in several ways to help with GERD.

  • D-limonene decreases stomach acid
  • It relieves symptoms of GERD, including indigestion, sour taste, regurgitation and bloating
  • GerdLi is made with non-GMO ingredients, is vegan, gluten-free and has no artificial flavors or fillers

"So many products on the market aiming to combat GERD and acid reflux, but GerdLi is by far the best remedy I've used. GerdLi offers great relief and the fact that it's created by doctors makes it stand out even more." MK, Happy Customer

GerdLi was developed over three years, and after three months of trials and testing, half the participants found improvement in their GERD symptoms. GerdLi may work as soon as one week and averages 2-4 weeks for relief of acid reflux symptoms. One study showed 72% of the participants experienced improvement within the 2-4 week period. 

Although GerdLi is proven to alleviate heartburn and symptoms of GERD, lifestyle changes are just as crucial to a successful acid reflux regimen. GerdLi is meant to complement healthy lifestyle habits allowing patients to choose a natural way to relieve acid reflux and heartburn. Improved health includes staying active, eating clean foods and staying hydrated by drinking lots of water throughout the day. 

GerdLi is manufactured in a special FDA-registered facility, ensuring it's a safe supplement made with the highest quality ingredients. High-potency D-limonene is carefully sourced to be sure each bottle of GerdLi delivers the most effective results for reducing acid reflux. It works as an alkaline in the stomach to reduce acid, and its name is derived from lemon rinds, which have the highest concentration of limonene.

Once D-limonene is taken, it's rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and distributed into tissue. GerdLi reduces heartburn and reflux symptoms and may help some people reduce the amount of prescription medication they take. 

The mission at GerdLi is to help people suffering from acid reflux while offering them an alternative to prescription medications that often cause side effects. GerdLi also cares about creating a healthier world, donating part of its proceeds to support the Esophageal Cancer Society.

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. - October 31, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Dynapower, a global leader in power conversion and energy storage solutions, has partnered with Alphastruxure and Montgomery County, Maryland to provide energy storage that will help provide uninterrupted power to the county's fleet of electric buses using on-site generation including renewable resources.

The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot uses an integrated system of solar, microgrid energy storage, and electric charging stations which will eventually power 70 electric buses (50% of the Brookville bus fleet) with 4.14 megawatts of charging capacity. Transitioning these 70 buses at the depot from diesel to electric, powered by the on-site clean energy microgrid, will reduce lifetime emissions by 62 percent, equivalent to more than 160,000 tons of greenhouse gases over the next 25 years.

Dynapower's 3 megawatt/4.3 megawatt hour CPS-i Integrated Energy Storage System provides the microgrid battery energy storage for the depot, storing power to charge the electric buses and enabling 100% operational capacity in the event of a grid outage. It also allows participation in a demand response program with Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), which supports regional grid performance and optimization for greater energy resilience for local residents and businesses.

Statewide, Maryland is working towards a 50 percent zero-emission bus fleet by 2030. The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot is aligned with the county's priorities to reduce emissions from public transportation while enhancing the resilience of the community and infrastructure assets.

"We're proud and honored to help support Montgomery County's efforts to move towards sustainability, electrification and climate resilience," said Adam Knudsen, General Manager of Dynapower. "This project aligns with our own goals of powering a cleaner planet and reducing carbon emissions worldwide."
