ResortPass Survey Finds Americans Want to Take More Local and Shorter Escapes During Summer

Americans hoping to take more vacations this summer; Only about 1 out of 3 employed Americans took all their PTO last year

NEW YORK, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ResortPass – the leading app for booking day access at luxury hotels – released the results of a survey conducted on their behalf by The Harris Poll, revealing changes in how Americans view their summer travel habits and leisure behavior. The survey found that 72% of Americans say they often wish they had more memorable summer outings once the season is over, likely in part because Americans only took 1.6 vacations, on average, last summer, while 70% of employed Americans (defined as those employed full-time) say that unless they’re taking a trip, they just stay at home during PTO in the summer.

However, there are several ways Americans may shift their behavior, including taking more vacations – 56% more, on average, than in 2023 – and making time for more frequent, shorter trips – 67% of Americans agree that taking more shorter trips is more restful than taking fewer, longer vacations and 85% of employed Americans say they feel recharged after taking only one day off of work. By fitting in more local escapes, Americans are nearly three times more likely to travel locally (within 100 miles) than internationally this summer (49% vs. 18%).

“Consumers are realizing that if they rely only on long vacations for rest and relaxation, they won’t make the most of their PTO and will be missing out on both the recharge and memorable experiences they can fit in by taking more regular brief escapes,” said Michael Wolf, Chief Executive Officer at ResortPass. “Local getaways and daycations are becoming the new norm, and that’s why the idea of day-guesting – using the hotel amenities without having to book an overnight stay – fits right into this trend.”

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, announces the release of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers enabling the next generation high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud datacenters.

Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers have 8 electrical host interfacing lanes and 8 optical lanes operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). Equipped with the industry’s latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances of up to 2km without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules comes with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: – 

EOLO-13T-5H-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500m, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-5H-XDX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-13T-02-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 1×1.6TbE, 2km, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-02-XDX     OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-16T-02-XXX     OSFP 1.6T 2FR4, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual Duplex LC

Eoptolink OSFP 1.6T transceivers feature both EML and SiPh-based solutions, and testing has demonstrated excellent performance. “We are very proud of our optical and RF design teams, says Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Our 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side and this results in lower latency and power consumption of the modules simplifying the complete system and helping our AI and cloud customers in their work.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
