This month, we learned more about an iconic hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin, from Mr. Héctor Busto, recently appointed by Marriot International as the new General Manager of the hotel and The Ritz-Carlton Executive Residences, Tianjin.

Mr. Busto has almost two decades of experience working for luxury hotels around the world, and he has successfully helped open more than 20 new luxury hotels across the globe. Mr. Busto told us that he was very honoured to be selected for this prestigious position.

The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin is the leader in the luxury market segment of Tianjin, and captures the essence of the city’s deep history and cultural traditions while standing out as a landmark hotel in Tianjin. The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin is surrounded by 19th and 20th century European architecture that reflects the city’s past strategic importance, which continues today.

In China, a sound unmanned distribution business model has now been developed, with technologies being able to support different needs. China will become the world's largest market for autonomous vehicles, with revenue from sales of such new cars and mobility services expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030. 

Earlier this year, a high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone in Beijing issued licenses for unmanned deliveries to companies, like Meituan and JD. This marked the first time that the country has granted legal right of way to unmanned delivery vehicles. 

Our feature story is about the robots that are building a strong presence in warehouses and factories around China and rest of the world. Chinese robotics firms are looking to leverage artificial intelligence-enabled robots to empower the manufacturing sector as the country bets on smart manufacturing to drive the next generation of industrial growth.

China's manufacturing sector is also transforming toward unmanned services, with the core demand being based not merely on reduced costs, but also on solving the problems of flexibility, production time and safety. Logistics robots have been increasingly applied in scenarios in manufacturing workshops, online warehouses and raw materials warehouses.

Over the past decade, new technological advances have arrived in the education sector, as well, and collaboration has also increased within the educational community. Many would argue that technology has not yet led to much change when it comes to students and classrooms. Traditionally, classrooms were seen as the only source of information, and the students within the classroom as the only possible collaborators. However, with the broad scope of technology nowadays, students can easily communicate within the school, and with students and teachers from other schools, and individuals are able to learn from anywhere, anytime they want. The next few years will be influential in shaping the future of education for everyone. We look into this important topic in this issue.
