    Nutella unveils limited-edition collection inspired by Australian locations

    Breakfast spread brand Nutella has rolled out a new limited-edition collection featuring recipes from some of Australia’s “most loved” locations.

    The new ‘Nutella Loves Aussie Recipe’ collection features ingredients and flavours from eight landscapes in Australia such as NSW’s Bondi Beach, NT’s Outbacks, Pink Lake in Western Australia and Cardle Mountain in Tasmania.

    Azzurra Puricelli, marketing manager for Nutella, said the new collection celebrates the uniqueness of the country.

    “We’ve rediscovered what home really means in the last few years. We hope Australians can enjoy collecting these jars just as much as they enjoy a delicious breakfast with Nutella in the mornings”.

    The company has also produced a custom Lithgow label honouring the Nutella factory in Lithgow, NSW, where 8.8 million kgs of hazelnut spread are made each year.

    Recipes can be accessed by scanning a QR code on the jars.

  • Condotel, beachfront villa market slump

    Condotel, beachfront villa market slump

    Resort real estate supply and sales fell to a five-year low last year, according to real estate consulting company DKRA Vietnam.

    Supply of villas fell by 79 percent to 541, and only 239 were sold, an 88 percent decline, it said.

    There were only three new condotel projects with a total of 525 units last year, a 95 percent fall. Sales fell by 96 percent.

    The leading condotel markets like Khanh Hoa, Da Nang, Phu Quoc did not have any new projects.

    Leisure travel fell into the severest crisis in decades. The market is not expected to make a revival in 2021.

    According to some experts, the situation in the resort real estate market in 2020 was partly caused by the changing investor sentiment due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    However, even before the pandemic, the level of investor interest in resort real estate remained low because of the incomplete legal status for these types of assets and the dispute that broke out over reneged promises of regular returns on investment.

    Vietjet CEO among world’s 100 most powerful women

    Vietjet Air CEO Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao is one of 100 most powerful women in the world this year, according to a Forbes listing. The only Vietnamese woman on the list, Thao was placed 52nd, down eight places from last year. This is the third year in a row she has been included in Forbes magazine’s list of 100 most powerful women in the world.

    The list was compiled based on assets, impact, spheres of influence and media presence, the magazine said.

    It estimated that the budget carrier CEO and the richest woman in Vietnam to have a net worth of around $2.7 billion as of December 13.

    Thao, 49, has done business in Vietnam and abroad in many fields, including finance, banking, aviation, real estate, and retail.

    She launched Vietjet in 2011. The airline now leads the domestic market with a 45 percent share. It operates 385 flights daily within Vietnam and to Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, mainland China, Thailand, Myanmar, and Malaysia.

    The carrier launched its IPO on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange in February 2017, becoming the first airline in Vietnam to list publicly.

    Vietjet has now surpassed national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines in terms of passengers carried. It has a fleet of 80 aircraft flying to 120 destinations.

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel was adjudged the most powerful woman in the world for the ninth consecutive year. She was followed by French politician Christine Lagarde, who serves as the President of European Central Bank, and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.

  • Sunglass Hut underpaid employees

    Sunglass Hut underpaid employees

    Sunglass Hut underpaid hundreds of its part-time workers by about $2.3 million over more than five years.

    Luxottica Retail Australia Pty Ltd, trading as Sunglass Hut, has avoided prosecution by the Fair Work Ombudsman after entering a court-enforceable undertaking to repay the cash and agreeing to a $50,000 “contrition” payment.

    Between 2010 and 2016, Sunglass Hut failed to reach an agreement with part-time workers as required by the General Retail Industry Award.

    As a result, the company failed to pay $2,294,496 in overtime rates for work performed outside regular hours, to 620 employees at 253 stores across the country.

    Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said the undertaking was appropriate as the company had committed to overhauling workplace practices and rectifying all underpayments.

    “Sunglass Hut breached workplace laws and their conduct falls short of lawful obligations to their employees, and community expectations,” Ms Parker said.

    Sunglass Hut has already back-paid $1,485,590 to 457 staff, with $815,391 outstanding.

    As a gesture of contrition, Sunglass Hut must also hand over $50,000 to the National Association of Community Legal Centres.

    “This matter highlights that if employers incorrectly apply award conditions, it can have extensive and expensive consequences across the business for years to come,” Ms Parker said in a statement.

    “This outcome should also serve as a warning to all businesses that they need to actively check that they are paying their staff correctly.”

    Sunglass Hut must call in external auditors to check pay and conditions for workers every year until the undertaking ends in 2022.

    Luxottica must also issue a letter of apology to each of the affected workers.

    The company has been contacted for comment.

  • Expedia, Booking.com warn AirAsia of turbulence in online travel plan

    Expedia, Booking.com warn AirAsia of turbulence in online travel plan

    Online travel giants Expedia and Booking.com are warning that budget airline pioneer, AirAsia Group, risks being destabilized by ambitious plans to become the “Amazon of travel”.

    AirAsia, which already offers limited travel plans on its website, plans to expand the online service to include booking flights with rival airlines and ecommerce. As profits tumble in the face of rising fuel costs and intensifying competition, CEO Tony Fernandes is seeking alternative sources of revenue and earlier this year told the Nikkei Asian Review he intended to invest 100 million Malaysian ringgit ($24.6 million) a year to become a technology-led company.

    The carrier’s future competitors in the wider online travel sector dismissed the threat posed by the company which brought low cost flight to Asia.

    Booking.com’s head of China, Marsha Ma, suggested the online travel giants would rally their vast networks of flights, hotels and services in the fight against any attempts by AirAsia to take market share. “The online travel agency business, especially accommodation, is a pretty heavy business model in terms of its supply chain management,” said Ma. “It takes years… We have offices at 190 locations and [they] have built up our supply chain capability, with width and depth.”

    “We will keep fighting on that,” the Booking.com executive said, speaking at an event held in Singapore last week by Skift, an U.S.-based travel industry information provider.

    Expedia, once a partner of AirAsia’s existing travel platform, indicated the carrier might not have the necessary skills to succeed. “What makes you great to run an airline” is not the same as being a great online travel agency, said Greg Schulze, head of commercial strategy & services at Expedia. Worse, the carrier risked being distracted from selling its own flights, which could exacerbate its current troubles, he suggested. “I am happy to see [AirAsia] negotiating with other airlines.”

    However, Aireen Omar, AirAsia’s deputy CEO for technology, was confident AirAsia could manage the risks. It was “ambitious, but I think it’s very doable,” Omar said.

    The aviation business model was changing, Omar said. “The key essence for us is no longer the aircraft but data.” AirAsia transported close to 100 million passengers this year alone in Southeast Asia, and was seeing six to eight million visitors come to its website every month. “A lot of new business opportunity is around there,” she said. This included enhancing its digital travel platform with itinerary suggestions, hotels or shopping, using technologies such as artificial intelligence to improve the offering.

    “I think online travel agencies are very cautious,” Omar said. She insisted that the company already has a “big platform” for AirAsia.com, the carrier’s BigPay, a mobile wallet which was launched in Malaysia last year tracking consumers’ credit and debit card payments, and combining this with its own loyalty program. “It is an opportunity for [other airlines] to have an access of the network and the data we have,” she added.

    AirAsia entered the flight and hotel package business in 2015 through a joint venture with Expedia. However last August it announced it would sell its 25% stake to Expedia for $60 million. This freed the carrier to build its own accommodation and other inventories. The airline in 2017 acquired 50% in travel tours and attractions provider startup Vidi, in a deal worth $2.6 million.

    Omar said the company’s data would be uploaded in the cloud by the end of the year, in preparation for the launch of its new service.

    AirAsia’s rush to build an enriched travel platform can be explained by headwinds the company faces in its core business. The carrier’s net income slipped to 96.1 million ringgit, a 92%-drop in the three months through March from a year earlier, as it was hit by high fuel costs and lower average fares.

    While the company remains profitable in Malaysia, where it is based, its operations in Indonesia, Thailand and elsewhere are either losing money or earning less.

  • AirAsia takes partnership with World Surf League to new heights

    AirAsia takes partnership with World Surf League to new heights

    AirAsia and the World Surf League (WSL) Australia / Oceania are excited to announce the extension of their partnership to support the three Australian Championship Tour events in 2019.

    As the Official Airline Partner of the WSL, the world’s best low-cost airline has unveiled an AirAsia Beach Club and the AirAsia Flight Cam at each event, beginning with the Quiksilver Pro and Boost Mobile Pro Gold Coast this week, and continuing through to the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach and Margaret River Pro.

    AirAsia will also extend its ‘Surfboards Fly Free’ initiative in 2019, meaning surfers from Australia will be able to travel with their surfboard with no excess luggage cost, to any of the surfing hotspots found in AirAsia’s network of more than 140 destinations.

    “We are really excited to be continuing our partnership with a company that keeps the dream of the perfect surfing holiday a reality for Australians from all walks of life. We’re really excited about the continuation of these programs but especially the engagement of our fans through this partnership,” said Andrew Stark, General Manager, WSL Australia and Oceania.

    “Partnering with the WSL is a natural fit for AirAsia. Since announcing the deal last year, we’ve been able to showcase the breadth and depth of our fast-growing network. Take Padang in Indonesia, for example – the gateway to the Mentawais – where we now see thousands of surfers each year travel with us. This is what makes the partnership so unique,” said AirAsia Group Head of Branding Rudy Khaw.

    To celebrate the renewed partnership, AirAsia and WSL are offering two lucky winners with the chance to see pro-surfing at its best, including access to corporate hospitality and multi-day passes for each event. To enter, simply follow @AirAsiaAustralia on Facebook and look out for the competition details.

    The AirAsia Beach Club is now open at the Quiksilver Pro and Boost Mobile Pro Gold Coast on at Snapper Rocks in Queensland, Australia

  • Adidas Test to Sell Shoes Made of Ocean Plastic was So Successful

    Adidas Test to Sell Shoes Made of Ocean Plastic was So Successful

    Adidas has spent the last four years curbing ocean pollution by recycling plastic beach waste into shoes – and because their customers have been so eager for the product, the company is kicking it up a notch. Adidas produced more than five million pairs of recycled plastic waste shoes in 2018, and they plan to incorporate the waste into at least 11 million this year.

    The upcycled plastic waste is made into a yarn which has since become a key component of the upper material of Adidas footwear. In addition to shoes, the company has also used it to make the first ever football jerseys made from recycled materials.

    The sporting goods manufacturer first started making the shoes in collaboration with environmental group Parley for the Oceans back in 2015. They developed the slick kicks using plastic waste intercepted on beaches, such as the Maldives, before it can reach the oceans. The Parley shoes are recreated from editions of their UltraBoost shoe, and a new version of their Adidas Originals shoe.

    And, in 2016, Adidas stores stopped using plastic bags.

    “We also continue to improve our environmental performance during the manufacturing,” said Gil Steyaert, who is responsible for global operations. “This includes the use of sustainable materials, the reduction of CO2 emissions and waste prevention.

    “In 2018 alone, we saved more than 40 tons of plastic waste in our offices, retail stores, warehouses and distribution centers worldwide and replaced it with more sustainable solutions.”

    Additionally, Adidas is committed to using only recycled polyester in every product and application where a solution exists by 2024. As a founding member of the Better Cotton Initiative, Adidas meanwhile sources only sustainably produced cotton.

    Recently, Adidas signed the Climate Protection Charter for the Fashion Industry at the UN Climate Change Conference in Katowice, Poland—and agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% before 2030.

    AirAsia announces direct flights between KL and Tianjin

    AirAsia is expanding its footprint in China with an exclusive direct service between Kuala Lumpur and Tianjin, a coastal city in China.

    Beginning Dec 2, the new route will connect more than 15 million people in Tianjin with South-East Asia and beyond.

    AirAsia’s long haul affiliate, AirAsia X, will not only provide direct services between the two cities, but also stimulate regional demand through great value airfares, enabling more people to travel.

    He said this will significantly boost tourism, trade and economic growth while paving the way towards China’s Year of Tourism and Culture 2020, envisioned by the leaders of both Malaysia and China.

    “Together with our existing routes into China, today’s announcement means we are further strengthening our foothold in Northern China and increasing our overall capacity to China – one of our  fastest growing markets.

    “We will continue to look for expansion opportunities that not only maintain AirAsia Group’s dominance as the largest foreign carrier to China by capacity, but also enable us to remain committed in our quest to making air travel affordable for everyone,” said Benyamin.

  • New Hotels Keep Popping Up in Korea’s Most Celebrated Beachfront Community

    New Hotels Keep Popping Up in Korea’s Most Celebrated Beachfront Community

    Busan’s Haeundae district is best known for its beach that attracts millions of visitors each summer. But it’s also a major MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) center, with the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO),and hosts major annual events such as the Busan International Film Festival. Under these conditions, competition between hotels is higher than ever.

    In 2019, Haeundae will welcome another global hotel franchise unit, Sheraton, which will be operated by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Starwood currently owns 11 brands including Sheraton and Westin, and operates over 1,300 hotels in some 100 countries. The new 260-room hotel will be located between two major beaches in Busan, Haeundae and Songjeong.

    Lotte Hotel has recently finalized plans to operate a luxury hotel inside the LCT Landmark Tower. The 101-storey tower, which is also located by Haeundae beach, is expected to be completed in 2019.Busan’s Haeundae district is best known for its beach that attracts millions of visitors each summer.

    Korean retail giant Shinsegae is in the middle of the planning process to build a hotel that offers a somewhat differentiated service by connecting services with shopping. The hotel will be built across from the company’s Centum City store, which is the largest department store in the world. 

    A Japanese company, Sega Sammy Holdings, has also established plans to build a luxury hotel (312 rooms) and a business hotel (470 rooms) on the opposite side of BEXCO. 

    Hotel Shilla, a Samsung subsidiary that operates hotels and duty-free shops, is building a 406-room business hotel, which is expected to open in 2017.

    Amid such changes in the area, some businesses welcome the new development plans, while there are those that suffer from the increasing availability of new accommodations. 

    “The hotel market in Haeundae has reached its saturation point, and we have been struggling with our operations,” said an official from one of the hotels in Haeundae. “The government should limit the number of hotel approvals in the area.” 

    “We need a large number of hotels to host large-scale events,” said a MICE industry affiliate. “It’s too early to say that the hotel market in Haeundae is over-saturated. We need more hotels for the continued growth of the MICE industry.”

     

  • Middle East Eyes Indonesian Beaches

    Middle East Eyes Indonesian Beaches

    Alwi Shihab, the Presidential envoy to the Middle East and the Organization of Islamic Coopeation (OIC), said that several Middle Eastern countries had expressed their interests to develop Indonesian beaches.

    Alwi revealed the Middle Eastern countries planned to build bigger exclusive resorts in order to compete with the famous Maldives.

    “Many Middle Eastern countries want to make bigger [tourist destinations] than Maldives. But they’re having difficulties to find a 300-hectare land,” Alwi said in Bandung on Thursday, January 28, 2016.

    Alwi explained that investors from Middle East wanted to develop accessible beaches, such as Pelabuhan Ratu in Sukabumi, West Java.

    “They want beaches with mounts located near Jakarta. We suggested investing in Sukabumi,” Alwi added.

    Since it was hard to find a sizable land in Pelabuhan Ratu, Alwi proposed other locations outside Java, such as those in Tanjung Lesung, Belitung, Padang, Selayar and Lombok. Alwi revealed that most of the investors were members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

    “Saudi Arabia has invested in Maldives,” Alwi said.

    Alwi explained that the Middle Eastern countries were more than willing to provide fund to develop beaches in Indonesia. The United Arab Emirates, for example, books an annual state revenue up to Rp 2,000 trillion (US$144.9 billion) per year.

    “I can’t say the exact number. You can do the math. It means they have money,” Alwi said.

    Alwi added that one of the reasons behind their interest to invest in Indonesian tourism was that Indonesia is open to Middle Eastern tourists. In addition, Europe and the United States had been paranoid when they see people with Islamic names spend their holidays in the two regions.

    “It’s related to the political dynamics in the Middle East. There’s Islamophobia and suspicion that make them uncomfortable when students or tourists from Middle East come to the United States or Europe. Therefore, the alternative is Indonesia, one of their friendly countries because there is no suspicion here. In addition, the majority of the population is Muslim. However, we’re not ready yet,” Alwi said.

  • Kuta tourist area needs reform and management

    Kuta tourist area needs reform and management

    The tourist region of Kuta, in the Indonesian island resort of Bali, in 2016 needs reform and management in various supporting sectors such as traffic management and environmental hygiene, according to tourism practitioner Nyoman Sarjana.

    “The Kuta tourist area will face a great challenge in the future because from year to year the traffic there continues to get crowded. Therefore, the government and stakeholders in the tourism sector should all move to improve tourism in Bali, particularly in Kuta,” Nyoman remarked here Friday.

    If the iconic tourism of Bali is not properly managed, it is feared that the tourists will be bored of coming to Kuta and find another destination instead, he noted.

    a”It is because other areas in Indonesia are also managing their tourist attractions to attract more tourists,” Nyoman said, and added that foreign tourists who come to Bali feel comfortable and safe, and therefore this factor should be the priority while developing tourism.

    “Indeed, Bali is famous for art and culture since the ancient times. However, if it is not accompanied by comfort and security, domestic and foreign tourists will look for the other tourist attractions outside Bali,” he went on.

    In addition, the government and stakeholders should pay attention to hygiene, because the presence of garbage is in the spotlight in the world of tourism, he noted.

    “We have to find the solution to overcome the garbage problem in Bali, and all parties must be concerned about the environment,” he said.

    Furthermore, all parties should make every effort to keep the island resort of Bali clean and green, he added.
