(SeaPRwire) - 这项新举措邀请美食爱好者和文化探索者共同打造全球首个致力于烹饪文化、美食遗产和本地生产者的平台。
俄勒冈州波特兰市, 2025年12月9日 — World Food Travel Association (WFTA) 今日宣布其Taste of Place Movement正式启动,这是一项全球性倡议,旨在保护烹饪文化,提升本地食品生产者的地位,并将世界各地的人们和供应商与有意义的、基于地方特色的美食体验联系起来。
Taste of Place 在食品、酒店和旅游行业的关键时刻启动。在世界各地,传统的饮食方式正受到经济压力、乡村衰落、气候变化以及代际知识快速流失的威胁。许多烹饪工匠、小生产者和文化守护者缺乏接触新受众所需的知名度和数字基础设施。Taste of Place 旨在改变这一现状。
“食物将我们所有人联系在一起,然而保护烹饪传统的人们却常常不为人所见,”现代美食旅游业的创始人、WFTA 执行董事 Erik Wolf 表示。“我们正在打造的 Taste of Place 与主流美食旅游平台不同,因为我们的重点是真实性、文化完整性和真正的社会使命。目前确实还没有任何平台能够满足当今美食和烹饪遗产爱好者的需求。”
您的支持至关重要
为了构建该平台,WFTA 邀请个人、美食爱好者、组织和文化倡导者支持该倡议的发展。您的支持将有助于资助:
一个包含美食体验、生产者、烹饪工匠和本地食品企业的全球名录。
一部烹饪文化的数字百科全书,记录每个地区的菜肴、食材、传统和故事。
一本全球性杂志,展示被忽视的社区以及守护美食传统的人们。
一个社区中心,您可以直接为 Taste of Place 的内容做出贡献。
支持者享有公众无法获得的特权,包括提名烹饪遗产守护者的能力,以及之后在平台启动后展示自己的内容。
对于美国的支持者,捐款可能享有税收减免,因为 WFTA 是注册的501(c)(3) 非营利组织。
全球邀请
“Taste of Place 不仅仅是一个平台,”Wolf 补充道。“它是一场旨在颂扬使每个地方独一无二的风味、技艺和故事的运动。而且,这是您可以亲手参与构建的事业。”

BERLIN, Germany, Dec 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS), a leading cloud-based platform for payments and cash management, is future-proofing organizations with specialized translation services in the wake of the recent November 2025 ISO 20022 deadline. A major turning point for the financial industry, SWIFT now requires banks to move their cross-border payment messages to ISO 20022. As a result, treasury teams are already seeing differences in how their banks send and receive payment information. Adapting to these changes will require a strategic approach to modernizing systems and processes.ISO 20022 replaces a patchwork of older standards with a single approach to structuring payment data. The new universal standard is designed to reduce confusion across markets, improve data quality, and support the level of transparency that regulators around the globe now expect.Moving to ISO 20022 payments takes time and strategic vision, especially when legacy systems, ERP, and payment systems were not built with structured data in mind. Updating those requires planning and coordination across several internal teams."ISO 20022 is a major industry shift, but it shouldn't disrupt the way companies operate day-to-day," said Wouter De Bie, Chief Technology Officer at TIS. "Our priority is making this transition seamless. By leveraging our platform's ability to translate payment files into bank-specific formats and automatically populate ISO-required fields, we give treasury teams the flexibility to adapt at their own pace. This approach ensures stability, reduces risk, and empowers organizations to meet new standards without costly system overhauls or last-minute fixes."The TIS platform leverages more than 140,000 bank-specific profiles to provide comprehensive coverage of ISO bank formats. In addition, an innovative AI-powered solution addresses ISO-specific requirements such as structured address information for corporate beneficiaries. Companies that begin now to update their data and payment workflows will be better prepared for the larger changes still ahead. Those that don't may face frustrating problems like message truncation, rejected payments, and slower processing times as unstructured formats are phased out."We're already seeing the benefits of a proactive approach to ISO 20022," said Jon Paquette, Chief of Strategy at TIS. "Organizations using our platform have implemented early bank-driven changes without payment failures or costly rework and are also leveraging our statement format conversion capabilities to avoid disruptions in reconciliation and cash applications as banks sunset MT formats and introduce CAMT. This proves that with the right tools, companies can prepare for full ISO adoption on their own timelines - maintaining stability while meeting evolving standards."About TISTIS helps CFOs, Treasurers, and Finance teams transform their global cash flow, liquidity, and payment functions. Since 2010, our award-winning cloud platform and best-in-class service model have empowered the entire office of the CFO to collaborate more effectively and attain maximum efficiency, automation, and control. TIS enables users to achieve superior performance in key areas surrounding cash forecasting, working capital, outbound payments, financial messaging, fraud prevention, payment compliance, and more.To learn how TIS can support your ISO 20022 transition, contact us today.CONTACT:Blair Romain+496227698240blair.romain@tispayments.comSOURCE: Treasury Intelligence Solutions Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

As the digital era approaches, Yingke is accelerating its “Digital Intelligence Law Firm” transformation and upgrading, with the aim of establishing a “Yingke Global One-Hour Legal Service Ecosystem” . The development strategy of the firm is also evolving from geographical business expansion to digital-intelligence transformation.“2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the IDC China Future Enterprise Awards. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its deep integration across industries, we are witnessing an increasing number of enterprises transforming into AI-driven firms as they enter the era of digital operation. These enterprises are customer-centric, open to experiment and constantly enhancing their products, services and user experiences,” said Mr. Wu Lianfeng, Vice President and Chief Analyst at IDC China. “Yingke Law Firm is a remarkable example of such organizations.

On the journey to evolve our service models through the dual engines of ‘LegalTech + AI’, we are delighted to have China Entercom as a trusted partner.
