Recognizing the World's Most Exceptional Destinations: Nominations Now Open for the Inaugural TOURISE Awards
The TOURISE Awards officially launched today as a new global benchmark celebrating excellence in tourism destinations. Created to honor places that are shaping the future of travel, the Awards spotlight destinations delivering meaningful, memorable, and measurable value across the traveler journey. Nominations are now open to individual travelers, industry professionals, and organizations passionate about recognizing the world's most exceptional places. The TOURISE Awards are an extension of the TOURISE platform powered by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Tourism and announced via a virtual press conference on May 22, 2025. In line with the TOURISE ethos, the Awards take a bold stance recognizing destinations with a strong sense of identity, measurable impact, and responsible management. Eligible destinations must have (i) a defined geographic scope (a city, region or site), (ii) a distinct identity and character that stems from culture, landscapes and attractions that shape how the destination is perceived by travelers, and finally (iii) must be backed by a tourism governing body responsible for ensuring a destination is effectively managed. The TOURISE Awards feature five distinct award categories: Best Arts and Culture Destination, Best Adventure Destination, Best Food and Culinary Destination, Best Shopping Destination, and Best Entertainment Destination. In addition, a flagship Best Overall Destination award will recognize the destination that excels across all aspects of the traveler experience — setting a new global benchmark as the most exceptional place to visit. Jean-Philippe Cossé, CEO of TOURISE, said: 'Tourism is not just a key economic engine — it's a powerful connector of cultures, a builder of communities, and a driver of sustainable change. As the industry undergoes a bold transformation, it's more crucial than ever to spotlight the destinations that are leading with vision, purpose, and resilience. The TOURISE Awards are our tribute to those extraordinary places that don't just welcome travelers — they inspire them, challenge the status quo, and push the boundaries of what tourism can achieve. These awards put destinations at the center of the global conversation, celebrating the pioneers who are shaping the future of travel.' The TOURISE Awards will be judged by an independent jury panel comprised of a powerhouse of cross-industry trailblazers from the worlds of travel and tourism, fashion, culinary, art, retail, culture, adventure and entertainment: Filip Boyen, Former CEO, Forbes Travel Guide; Michael Ellis, Former Global Director, Michelin Guides; Fiona Jeffery, Former Chair, World Travel Market; Former Chair Tourism for Tomorrow Awards; Renaud de Lesquen; Former CEO, Givenchy, Former President Dior AM; Lars Nittve, Former Founding Director, Tate Modern; Albert Read, Former Managing Director , Conde Nast; Caroline Rush, Former CEO, British Fashion Council; Omar Samra, UN Goodwill Ambassador, Mountaineer and Polar Explorer Bernold Schroeder, Former CEO, Kempinski; Pan Pacific. Eligible destinations will be evaluated across 10 assessment criteria, grouped into three key areas, which make up the destination experience: offering, value, convenience. Judges will assess how destinations perform across these areas — considering what they offer, how accessible and visitor-friendly they are, the overall value they provide, and most importantly, the quality and impact of the experience. This includes looking at factors such as authenticity, innovation, inclusion, sustainability, accessibility, accommodation variety, and safety, all of which contribute to a destination's ability to deliver a meaningful and memorable journey. The winners of the inaugural TOURISE Awards will be announced at the TOURISE Summit, taking place in Riyadh from November 11 to 13. The Summit will bring together leading voices from across tourism, travel, investment, and innovation — from heads of state and visionary CEOs to creators, disruptors, and global investors. It will serve as a platform to spark bold ideas, build transformative partnerships, and shape new standards for the future of travel. Have your say in who receives the first TOURISE Awards for the world's most exceptional tourism destinations by nominating the destination you think makes a difference on the awards portal Nominations are open from June 2nd to July 9th.

Kingston Technology Supports Windows 11 Migration
Home » Emerging technologies » Storage » Kingston Technology Supports Windows 11 Migration Kingston Technology has announced its commitment to support enterprises across the Middle East as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in October 2025. The company revealed that its next-generation SSD and DRAM solutions are helping organizations take control of their upgrade paths with future-ready memory technology. This support aims to ensure a smooth and secure transition to modern platforms like Windows 11 and Windows 365. Digital transformation remains central to the national visions of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Initiatives like the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and Saudi Vision 2030 are pushing enterprises to modernize IT infrastructure. Kingston Technology reported that running critical operations on unsupported systems increases risk. To reduce this, the company is offering high-performance memory upgrades that boost productivity and ensure compliance. Khalil Yazbeck, Business Development Manager – UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman at Kingston Technology, stated: 'As organizations in the Middle East plan their next move, Kingston stands ready as a strategic partner to deliver the tools and knowledge needed for a smooth migration.' He added that Kingston's SSD and DRAM solutions are designed to meet Windows 11 hardware requirements. These upgrades help increase system performance and device longevity. Furthermore, the company reported that simply meeting Windows 11's minimum hardware specs is not enough. Unlocking the full potential of modern systems requires high-capacity memory and storage. Kingston's NVMe SSDs and DRAM offer several benefits: Faster boot times and file access Improved multitasking and performance for AI and data-heavy tasks The company emphasized that upgrading existing devices is often the smartest path. It balances cost and performance and aligns with long-term IT strategies. Kingston Technology warned that keeping Windows 10 without support poses security risks. Enterprises relying on outdated systems may face compliance issues. Some may consider paying for extended support, but Kingston noted this is a costly temporary solution. It doesn't improve performance or reduce risk. Buying new devices guarantees performance but comes with high upfront costs. AI PCs, while promising, still face memory and compatibility limits. Instead, Kingston recommended upgrading current devices with SSDs and DRAM to enhance efficiency, lifespan, and return on investment. 'Our mission is to deliver performance without compromise,' Yazbeck said. 'We are enabling Middle East enterprises to future-proof operations and turn challenges into advantages.' Kingston Technology continues to position itself as a trusted global partner with the tools and expertise to guide secure migrations.
