Annual Outerknown Tahiti Pro Opening Ceremony Signals What’s to Come for Paris 2024 Olympic...
PAPEETE, French Polynesia - August 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Future site of the surfing competition for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the village of Teahupo'o, on the island of Tahiti, opened its annual surf competition Outerknown Tahiti Pro (Aug. 11-21) with cultural ceremonies and dance, remarks from several dignitaries, and representatives of the local and international surf communities.
Occurring in just two short years, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games provide a global spotlight on the most iconic swell in the Polynesian islands and one of the most famous in the world, the wave at Teahupo'o, legendarily one of "the deadliest waves in the world." At the competition, local surfers will challenge global competitors in their home surf, in the Polynesian islands where the sport was invented. The event will be a cultural milestone for the people of French Polynesia, also known as The Islands of Tahiti.
The swelling of national pride was present at the opening day's event as government Minister of Youth and Sports Naea Bennett took the stage.
"We are proud to welcome the world elite of surfing — these 36 athletes including 12 women who will give us, without a doubt, an extraordinary spectacle during this competition. We are proud to have among the world surfing elite children of Fenua (our country)," declared Bennett. "Surfing, this Polynesian sport, is recognized worldwide and has been included in the program of the 2024 Olympic Games."
World Junior Championship winner and Tahitian local Vahine Fierro, 22, was in attendance alongside veteran Tahitian surfing icons Michel Bourez and Kauli Vaast, named as the "children of Fenua" noted in the speech.
Teahupo'o, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games site, will soon welcome the arrival of Tony Estanguet, President of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (OCOG) of 2024.
The wave at Teahupo'o will be the 10th and last stage of the World Tour within the framework of the professional world championships organized by the World Surf League (WSL). Indeed, this legendary wave (sometimes surging as high as 50 feet) inspires awe and fear in even the most elite surfers with its unparalleled power and menacing reef break.
"We are proud to have been chosen by the Organizing Committee of the 2024 Olympic Games to host the surfing events," Bennett also remarked.
Surfing, due to the wonder it inspires, has become an important economic activity in The Islands of Tahiti through retail sales of products but also the many surf schools run by educators in the discipline. It is also an important cultural export, providing a sense of pride and showcasing the athleticism and symbiosis with nature that is embodied by the Polynesian people.
"Long live surfing, long live sport and long live French Polynesia," concluded Bennett.

The Parking Spot Announces New Electric Shuttle Pilot Program
Today, The Parking Spot, the nation's largest near-airport parking company, unveiled its first 100% electric shuttle, which will help serve Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) travelers going to and from the airport.
The new shuttle was developed in partnership with Global Transportation Solutions, Inc. The Parking Spot has plans to add additional electric shuttles to its fleet, further reducing the company's and travelers' carbon footprints.
While The Parking Spot's current shuttles at LAX run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and are already 20% more efficient than gasoline shuttles, each new electric shuttle will further reduce The Parking Spot's greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 45,000 pounds annually.
"We understand how important it is to keep people moving with sustainable travel options," said Jeff Foland, President and CEO of The Parking Spot. "We are excited by this important step in the process and are progressing down the path toward meaningful carbon footprint reduction."
The number of consumers purchasing electric vehicles is expected to triple by 2025, and The Parking Spot is committed to meeting its customers' evolving needs. Today, customers flying out of nearly half of The Parking Spot's markets can enjoy the use of EV charging options for their personal vehicles. The Parking Spot will be adding to these charging options, both by expanding current offerings in markets such as Austin, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City, and by introducing new offerings in all remaining markets.

Gant Travel Selects Aimendo’s Orchestrator, a Novel Free Text Omni-Channel Bot Platform
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - August 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Gant Travel, an awarding-winning TMC serving the North American corporate sector, announces the selection of Aimendo's Orchestrator for email parsing technology to identify critical information in email travel requests.
Email travel requests comprise a component of every corporate agency's offering. Because of their unstructured nature, email service requests remain one area where agencies must employ significant manual labor to address. This aspect drives additional cost and productivity limits that can hamper agency efficiency and customer experience. Using Aimendo's latest technology, Gant launched a pilot to parse email to streamline booking and service requests.
The pilot aimed to prove that Aimendo's system could identify critical information in email travel requests. "Over the past two months, we confirmed Aimendo's ability to identify, monitor, and extract customer intent and actionable booking and ticketing data on our tech stack; we're excited about the success and potential this brings to Gant Travel," says Patrick Linnihan, Gant's CEO and President. In the next phase of the pilot, Gant will connect the data extracted by Aimendo to machine-readable traveler profiles and corporate travel policies to produce travel reservations via Gant's tech stack.
"Our shared vision has always been to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create a "Bot Army" to turbocharge the work of a corporate travel agent. We look forward to building on this experience to drive Gant's team's productivity further and to power a new generation of customer experience on emailed travel requests." said Vic Pynn, Co-founder of Aimendo.
