A Sanctuary Shaped by the ElementsDesigned by the acclaimed Edge of Architecture firm, led by 2020 Gold Key Awards Designer of the Year Malcolm Berg, the resort's architecture reflects the essence of South Caicos' natural landscapes. The resort's sophisticated design is inspired by the island's famed salt flats and tropical allure with cerulean, white, and rusty hues. The resort boasts 100 well-appointed guest rooms and suites crafted with regionally sourced materials, such as native wood, coral stone, and sisal, to create a sense of tranquility while enhancing the connection to the natural surroundings. The airiness of the accommodations is underscored by floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive balconies, which bring in abundant natural light and breathtaking seascape views, resulting in a harmonious design that integrates seamlessly with the island's environment.
Wellness in Harmony with NatureAt the heart of the resort lies The Spa at Salterra, a sanctuary dedicated to enhancing well-being and rejuvenation. With eight luxurious treatment rooms, including two couple suites, and a carefully curated selection of world-class treatments designed to restore balance, the spa offers a tropical refuge where guests can revitalize both their body and mind. Inspired by the resort's oceanic setting, the spa features a multisensory aqua thermal circuit with a salt sauna, steam room, aloe bar, and a rejuvenating hammam, harnessing the healing effects of water to wash away stress and fatigue. Whether guests choose to unwind in the outdoor lounge, soak in the hot tub, or enjoy the social pool, the spa offers an oasis for guests to immerse themselves in the present moment.
Epicurean JourneysEvery meal at Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos is an exploration of flavor, culture, and local ingredients. The resort offers six distinctive dining experiences, each showcasing the island's rich culinary heritage. At the chic lobby bar Sisal, guests will discover the bounty of the region with ever-changing menus, featuring bites and cocktails made with fresh, seasonal local ingredients. After a day of exploring the island, guests can unwind with Latin-inspired cuisine and expert mixology set against the stunning backdrop of the resort's private beach at Cobo Bar & Grill, the resort's waterfront dining destination. The resort's signature restaurant, Brine, offers an exquisite chef's tasting menu, expertly paired with an extensive wine selection. The restaurant also offers a signature upon request Epicurean Moment, that consists of a 7-course menu that evolves with the seasons, inspired by a prized ingredient deeply rooted in the region's history: salt, often referred to as "white gold." Regatta offers a laidback coastal ambiance where guests can enjoy British Caribbean fusion cuisine with golden hour views from the second-story terrace. For casual fare, Flamingo Café offers homemade gelato, local fruit smoothies, and crafted espresso, while Jack & Jenny's, the resort's food truck, serves a rotating menu of street food dishes infused with local influences.
World-Class Eco-ExperiencesThe resort sits by an expansive stretch of untouched white-sand beaches and the protected Admiral Cockburn Land & Sea National Park, offering a diverse array of adventures in unadulterated nature for every type of traveler. From watersports like kayaking and bone fishing to seasonal whale watching, guests can discover the natural wonders of South Caicos. The crystalline, calm waters of South Caicos provide the optimal conditions for diving and snorkeling, offering opportunities for close encounters with indigenous marine life in their aquatic sanctuary. Guests can join guided tours to explore local wildlife, uninhabited islands, and natural salt ponds, offering a rich immersive experience that sparks curiosity for travelers of all ages. The resort also presents a Salt Discovery Experience, part of the brand's signature Destination Discovery offerings, where guests can journey through the storied salinas and learn about the salt trade heritage, while encountering unique wildlife that thrives in this ecosystem. To foster a deeper connection with the surrounding environment, the resort also offers coral reef restoration workshops in partnership with the South Caicos Coral Reef Consortium, offering guests an opportunity to leave the destination even better than they found it.
"Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos is more than just a resort; it's a destination where elegance and the spirit of South Caicos intertwine," Brian King, President of Marriott International's Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region, said. "We are committed to offering guests a journey that celebrates the island's natural beauty and cultural heritage while offering the unmatched luxury and service synonymous with The Luxury Collection."
Commitment to SustainabilityThe resort's commitment to sustainability goes beyond eco-friendly amenities — it's a core part of the resort's philosophy. The resort harnesses the abundant sunlight of South Caicos to power its operations, driving efforts to meet over half of the resort's energy needs through renewable sources. The industrial composting system at Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos processes food waste, plants, and paper, enriching the surrounding soil and promoting sustainable nutrient reuse. Recognizing the island's water limitations, the resort collects and desalinates seawater for drinking and harvests rainwater for irrigation. In addition, the resort has eliminated the use of single-use plastic bottles in all guest rooms, providing filtered water dispensers to encourage responsible hydration. The resort is committed to marine preservation through the Coral Reef Adoption Program. This initiative, developed in partnership with the School for Field Studies (SFS), the Turks & Caicos Reef Fund, and the Reef Institute, invites guests to sponsor segments of the reef, directly contributing to the preservation of vital ecosystems. These sustainable programs are built to aid in restoration efforts for local coral reefs, birds, and bonefish populations, as well as to develop forward-thinking solutions to sustainability challenges and preserve the destination's natural beauty for future generations.
"This resort is a destination where luxury and sustainability come together in an extraordinary setting," said Michael Tibbets, Managing Director of Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Turks & Caicos. "South Caicos, with its untouched beaches and rich cultural heritage, offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature while indulging in the finest experiences the Caribbean has to offer."

TPIsoftware Drives Vietnam's Industry 4.0 by Accelerating Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park Green Transformation with Newly-Launched ESG Platform 'Shinec Digital Green Economy'
TAIPEI, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Shinec Joint Stock Company, the developer of Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park (IP), officially launched its ESG application platform, "Shinec Digital Green Economy," marking a significant milestone on its journey toward sustainable development. This event not only represents a major step in the comprehensive digitalization of the IP's operational management but also affirms Nam Cau Kien's pioneering role in creating an eco-industrial park, advancing towards Net-Zero targets, and unlocking the potential for carbon credit generation. TPIsoftware supports the park sustainability initiative with the "Shinec Digital Green Economy" platform, a comprehensive solution powered by the company's GreenSwift (smart carbon management platform) and ElectriSwift (smart energy management system), with GGI Technology serving as the ESG consultant. The platform functions as an intelligent IP management system focused on digitalizing environmental management, emissions control, and security. Through this platform, the solution provides a holistic management system, from real-time carbon emissions data collection and analysis of emission and energy consumption hotspots to recommending and monitoring improvement strategies. The superiority of "Shinec Digital Green Economy" is demonstrated through its diverse integrated features: Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Management (powered by GreenSwift): Streamlines carbon data collection, analysis and reporting, ensuring auditing and inventory efficiency through an integrated platform, aligning the inventory process with international standards such as ISO 14064-1. Smart Energy Management (powered by ElectriSwift): Monitors and detects energy inefficiencies based on acquired power usage patterns, providing insights into energy consumption with real-time alerting for optimized energy-saving strategies. Wastewater Monitoring and Treatment: Tracks water quality indicators (pH, TSS, COD, BOD, Ammonia) before and after treatment and calculates the corresponding GHG emissions. Intelligent Security Monitoring: Integrates AIoT into the camera system to issue instant security alerts for events such as crowd detection, fence climbing, accidents, and fires. Visual Reporting: Provides an intuitive dashboard on both mobile and web platforms, allowing management to access reports anytime, anywhere, facilitating timely and effective decision-making. In the face of intense pressure from global climate change, Carbon Management Systems (CMS) are emerging as a new global trend, aligning with international accords such as the Paris Agreement (2015), Net Zero 2050, and COP26/COP28. These frameworks compel businesses to reduce carbon emissions. Regulations like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) impose carbon tariffs on imported goods, forcing exporting enterprises to measure and manage their carbon footprint. Globally, CMS is becoming mandatory for listed companies (under IFRS S2, CSRD), while carbon pricing (taxes, ETS) is being strengthened in developing nations. Japan and South Korea are leading with carbon pricing policies (carbon tax, ETS), with corporations like Toyota and Samsung already implementing CMS to achieve their Net Zero 2050 goals. Indonesia and Malaysia are focusing on CMS in the oil and gas and agricultural sectors. The Indian government has promoted its Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) since 2023. China is at the forefront of implementing robust policies to support its businesses in transitioning towards carbon neutrality by 2060 and is a pioneer in IP carbon management, investing in carbon offset projects across ASEAN and Africa. Vietnam is committed to achieving net zero by 2050 and will pilot a carbon credit exchange, including mechanisms for trading and offsetting credits, while preparing to officially launch a carbon credit trading floor connected to regional and international markets by 2028. CMS adoption in Vietnam is expected to grow, driven by FDI and export requirements. The government will support SMEs through tax incentives and training. Vietnamese businesses are encouraged to invest in CMS early to mitigate carbon tax risks and enhance global competitiveness. Investing in this green and digital solution not only helps Nam Cau Kien IP optimize operations and reduce costs through efficient energy and resource use but is also a strategic move to enhance its brand reputation through environmental responsibility. This positions the IP to achieve ISO certifications for energy management (ISO 50001) and carbon neutrality (ISO 14068). Furthermore, the next phase of the project is expected to digitize green spaces—which account for 31% of the entire IP, including trees, shrubs, lawns, and water features—and renewable energy sources. This will create a solid foundation for calculating carbon sequestration and tapping into the future carbon credit market for the developer. Nam Cau Kien Industrial Park, under Shinec's strategic investment, marks the group's commitment to creating an eco-industrial park model toward achieving carbon neutrality. The collective efforts of Shinec's pioneering vision, GGI Technology's expert consultancy, and TPIsoftware's strengths in implementing impactful sustainability initiatives are poised for broader deployment across Shinec's eco-industrial parks and other industrial parks in Vietnam. The launch of "Shinec Digital Green Economy" not only elevates the stature of Shinec and Nam Cau Kien IP within the Vietnamese and regional industrial park landscape but also builds significant credibility for its implementation partners, GGI Technology and TPIsoftware. It affirms their capacity to consult on and deliver advanced green technology solutions, contributing significantly to Vietnam's national sustainable development goals.

United States Presidential Culinary Museum® Celebrates America 250 with Launch of "The Washington's Famous Syllabub Drink"
GROVER, N.C., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of the Semiquincentennial—America's 250th anniversary of independence—the United States Presidential Culinary Museum® is continuing to promote the national celebration with a unique culinary tribute: the Founding Families Syllabub, a fun, free-wheeling drink of the beloved Colonial-era libations. America's 250th anniversary is officially being marked by a year‑long series of national events, beginning Memorial Day 2025 and rocketing into July 4, 2026. With events spanning the federal government, local institutions, nonprofits, and the public, this multi-faceted celebration is meant to rekindle our country's rich history and spirit. Syllabub, a frothy, sweet drink traditionally made with cream, sugar, and wine or brandy, has a storied past dating back to the 1500s during the reign of the Tudors starting with King Henry VII, son of Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, and Lady Margaret Beaufort. It remained a favorite for more than 300 years. Long before eggnog with a dash of cinnamon became the seasonal staple, Syllabub was enjoyed year-round—both in England and in the American colonies. The drink's popularity grew immensely in the 1700s, despite sugar being heavily taxed and politically controversial for British colonists. In America, even amidst this taxation tension, Syllabub became a fashionable indulgence. By the time of the American Revolution, it had become a signature at social gatherings, particularly among Founding Fathers and First Lady Dolley Madison, who famously served it at White House receptions. Syllabub wasn't just a drink—it was an experience. It had its own glassware, utensils, and preparation techniques designed to create the perfect whipped froth on top. Initially served in clay mugs, its visual appeal led to the development of clear glass vessels, which triggered a consumer revolution of insanity purchasing. Middle-class households began purchasing specialty Syllabub sets, and merchants advertised entire fancy collections in their shops. During the Revolutionary War, the drink remained popular—even when fancy glassware was hard to come by. Colonists, considering themselves British Americans, were keen to keep pace with fashion trends from the U.K.—from food and drink to décor and dress. Owning Syllabub glassware was as much about identity as it was about indulgence. Today, the United States Presidential Culinary Museum® is proud to revive this historic beverage with an authentic, verified recipe from George and Martha Washington. Syllabub was famously served at the W Mount Vernon estate, Jefferson's Monticello, the Madison's Montpelier, according to historical records and is featured there today as well as at Williamsburg, The American Revolutionary War Living History Center, and Old Salem Village. Event Highlights: - Launch reception on July 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM in the Museum's Presidential Dining Room - Syllabub tasting stations, menu pairings, and live culinary demonstrations including non-alcoholic versions and how to create those - Historical talk series, "Sips from the Past: Colonial Drinks & Diplomacy" streamed on the PRESENTS™ Network via YouTube, Linkedin LIVE, Instagram, TWITCH, and Facebook Former White House Master Chef Marti Mongiello with his wife, Executive Chef Stormy Mongiello, Museum President, and Tournant Chef Barry Mongiello note: "Food—and drink—tell stories. Our syllabub bridges gastronomy and history, letting people taste, touch, and smell the touch of Colonial America. We're proud to be part of the nation's 250th celebrations." About the United States Presidential Culinary Museum® Located in Grover, NC., the town celebrates being named after President Grover Cleveland and is in Cleveland County, NC. It's dedicated to preserving and sharing the culinary traditions of America's presidents, first ladies, and their families. Through exhibitions, TV appearances, keynote speeches, White House replica luncheons and dinners, recipes, and tastings, it explores how food and drink reflect cultural and historical moments. Marti and Stormy Mongiello serve as the leading chefs, and both are disabled veterans of 36 years combined military service.

Perfected by Executive Chef to the Washington's, Hercules Posey – who later ran away from being a slave. Ingredients:- 1 Quart of heavy cream - 1 Cup of white wine- 6 Tablespoons white sugar - 1 whole nutmeg (grated) or ground nutmeg- 2 Tablespoons of rose water (can be bought or made with hot water and rose petals)- Zest of 1/2 lemon- Sprig of Rosemary- Salt (a pinch) Instructions from the manuscripts given by Franics Parke Custis to Martha Washington: Scald the cream together with the nutmeg, cut in quarters. Remove from the fire and when cool, pour in a glass jar. Let stand overnight. Mix the white wine, rose water, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour the cream over this and lay in the rosemary and lemon peel. Let stand for five or six hours until the curds form. The modern method: Pour cream into a bowl and beat with a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks appear. Add the sugar, lemon zest, salt, rose water, nutmeg and beat briefly. Pour in the wine (experiment with sweet or dry wines, etc.) and mix then put into glasses and place into the refrigerator overnight to separate into cool layers. Decorate with more lemon zest and the sprigs of Rosemary. All types of other decorations can be fantasized about and made as well as adding even more whipped cream on top with grated nutmeg. Traditionally served in Syllabub glasses to show off the distinct layers, this recipe was a favorite of all of the revolutionary founding families and frequently offered at elegant affairs at the White House, private first family estates, on Presidential yachts and rail cars, and at the Camp David Resort and Conference Center. A "Whipt Syllabub" of the era would include many different flavor ideas of lemon and strawberry and other ideas and also could be made with egg whites and heavy cream mixed with sugar and wine beaten to a froth.
