News ReleaseMore Than Just a Room: How Airbnb Can Help You Travel Like a Local -- on a Budget
YourUpdateTV
Want to travel like a local, but on a budget? Airbnb is a great option for those looking to experience a destination authentically without breaking the bank. Recently, Airbnb Superhosts, Rhonda Voo and Eric Alan conducted a satellite media tour to talk about their experience being Airbnb hosts and how it helped them connect with people and have authentic experiences. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/6OnoHquTFMg In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. With the pandemic finally over, this summer is anticipated to be the biggest travel season of all time. Airbnb is expecting a record 300 million people to travel and host on Airbnb this year. To prepare, Airbnb is making the most extensive set of improvements to the platform ever, starting with the introduction of Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. They’re also launching over 50 new features and upgrades that address top feedback from our guests and Hosts across the end-to-end Airbnb experience. Introducing Airbnb Rooms Airbnb began as a way to stay in a room in someone else’s home. This original idea of sharing a home offers two unique benefits. First, it’s more affordable for guests. More than 80% of private rooms are under $100/night, with an average rate of $67/night. Second, staying with a Host is a great way to meet someone new and experience the city like a local. In the current economic environment, people want to travel affordably. And after years of being isolated during the pandemic, they're looking for ways to connect with people and have authentic experiences. Now is the perfect time to stay in a room in someone else’s home. But for even more people to try it, they have to feel comfortable staying with a Host. Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb. Guests have told us that they want to know more about who they're staying with. Every Airbnb Room features a Host Passport, which helps guests get to know their Host before booking their stay. Airbnb has also created a Rooms category with over 1 million listings, redesigned filters and added new privacy features. 50+ new features and upgrades based on Hosts and Guests feedback: In preparation for an anticipated record-setting travel season, Airbnb is improving nearly every aspect of their service, here are some of the upgrades: Host Passport - Exclusive to Airbnb Rooms, the Host Passport helps you get to know your Host before booking your stay. Simply tap the Host Passport to view a larger photo and details Hosts have shared about themselves, including where they went to school, what they do for work, a fun fact about themselves, the amount of social interaction during the stay, and much more. Airbnb Rooms category - Airbnb Rooms are easy to discover, with a new category featuring a curated set of 1 million private bedrooms. Each listing includes access to shared spaces, such as the kitchen, living room, and backyard. Redesigned filters - Redesigned the “type of place” filter to make it easy to switch between Airbnb Rooms, entire homes, or all types of places. It’s simple to view the average price for each type of place with an enhanced price filter that updates based on your choice. New privacy features - Privacy is important. All Airbnb Rooms will clearly indicate if the bedroom door has a lock. The listing page also shows whether the bathrooms are shared or private, and whether people other than the Host will be in the home during your stay. To improve our service, Airbnb took a design-driven approach. They started by storyboarding the guest and Host journey - from sign up to checking out and created a blueprint of the experience - every screen, every policy, and every interaction with customer support mapped out. Then, analyzed millions of customer service tickets and mapped them across the journey. They also reviewed thousands of social media posts and spoke with hundreds of thousands of guests and Hosts about how to improve Airbnb.

News ReleaseTransforming Plastic Waste Management: The Impact of SMX’s Track and Trace System
Security Matters PLC
Plastic waste has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century, posing significant threats to ecosystems and life on Earth. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, landfills, and even in remote parts of the world, causing devastating impacts on wildlife, marine life, and the overall health of our planet. These synthetic materials, designed for durability and longevity, can take hundreds of years to decompose, thereby persisting in the environment for extended periods. Microplastics, tiny fragments resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic items, have infiltrated even the most remote corners of the globe and are increasingly found in the food chain. Moreover, the production and disposal of plastics contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, further exacerbating climate change. Addressing the plastic waste crisis requires innovative solutions that not only enhance recycling efficiency but also promote a circular and sustainable economy. SMX’s Innovative Technologies Stands Ready To Help Improve The Pressing Plastic Waste Issue SMX (NASDAQ: SMX), is an innovative circular economy company, set to revolutionize the plastics industry with its cutting-edge track and trace technology. This organization is dedicated to digitizing physical objects on the blockchain, a strategy aimed at promoting a circular and closed-loop economy. Their patented technology utilizes an indelible chemical-based biomarker to "mark" any object—solid, liquid, or gas. This unique barcode can be deciphered using the company's proprietary 'reader,' which pulls up the corresponding stored data, safeguarded by the immutable nature of blockchain technology. In April 2022, the company made headlines in the recycling world after successfully concluding commercial readiness trials for their pioneering plastic tracking system. At the heart of this innovation is an industrial-grade identification, authentication, and sorting conveyor belt designed specifically for the plastics sector. As they anticipate the commercial deployment of this revolutionary technology, SMX is actively engaged in promising discussions with various strategic partners, promising a new era for plastic recycling. SMX Technology Can Track and Trace Plastic Throughout Its Lifecycle, Helping the Environment & The Plastics Industry SMX’s innovative technology stands to greatly benefit the plastics industry by reducing waste and increasing recycling, ultimately bolstering environmental sustainability while also enhancing the industry's efficiency. Their patented marking technology, which assigns a unique chemical-based biomarker to objects, enables an unprecedented level of tracking and tracing throughout the lifecycle of plastic products. This paves the way for more effective sorting and recycling, since stakeholders can now precisely identify the type of plastic, the manufacturer, the percentage of recycled content, and even the number of times it has been recycled. The revolutionary conveyor belt detector, an integral component of their comprehensive solution, provides reliable data readings at every stage of the supply chain. This allows stakeholders to seamlessly transfer ownership of materials and products, record essential data, and attach critical documents via the intuitive interface. This game-changing innovation provides unparalleled transparency, enabling users to effortlessly track and trace plastic packaging throughout every stage of the value chain, from sorting to mechanical recycling. Such heightened transparency and traceability facilitates the creation of a digital twin of the product, thus illuminating every stage of its value chain. This can drastically improve the sorting capabilities of recycling and waste management facilities, and subsequently increase the percentage of plastic that is effectively recycled. By doing so, SMX’s technology aids in driving a more sustainable future for plastics, promoting a circular and closed-loop economy that mitigates plastic waste and its associated environmental impact. Moreover, this cutting-edge system has the potential to unlock the ability to reclaim and reuse all types of plastic content, bridging the gap for plastic circularity. By offering a solution that can be customized to individual requirements, such as detecting specific "marked" polymers among other waste, SMX is well-positioned to revolutionize plastic waste management and recycling. The versatility of SMX’s technology extends its applications across a broad range of industries from automotive to electronics, fashion and food. The chemical-based marker is applicable to solids, liquids, and gases, while the conveyor belt system can be tailored to specific needs, such as reading various types of packaging, detecting marked polymers among other waste, and modifying the dimensions and speed of the conveyor belt. As global concerns about plastic waste and sustainability persist, SMX’s innovative track and trace technology offers a promising solution to increase recycling efficiency and foster a circular and closed-loop economy in the plastics industry.
