By prioritizing relevance, personalization, and immersive experiences, Shiseido Travel Retail aims to transform moments of discovery into lasting brand relationships.

As browsing behaviors evolve, the brands are evolving in tandem, introducing new activation formats, elevated experiences, and enhanced services to stay relevant to today’s consumer.
On strategy, Adele Zhang, Deputy Managing Director, Shiseido Travel Retail & General Manager, Travel Retail Asia, shared, “Today’s travelers are looking for more than just products. They are seeking meaningful experiences and a deeper connection with the brands they engage with. For us, this means rethinking how we show up in travel retail – creating immersive, experience-led environments that bring our brand stories to life and build lasting relationships with consumers, ultimately driving more meaningful and sustainable growth.”
By bringing together heritage, craftsmanship, and immersive design, Shiseido Travel Retail continues to redefine the travel retail experience—creating meaningful moments of discovery that resonate with today’s global traveler.

THÀNH PHỐ HỒ CHÍ MINH, VIỆT NAM – Media OutReach Newswire – Ngày 15 tháng 5 năm 2026 – Ngành tài chính tại Đông Nam Á đang thay đổi với tốc độ rất nhanh, khi vị thế thống trị lâu nay của Singapore dần nhường chỗ cho các thị trường công nghệ mới nổi như Indonesia, Việt Nam và Philippines. Riêng tại Việt Nam, số lượng tài khoản giao dịch chứng khoán trong nước đã tăng vọt lên 12,26 triệu tính đến tháng 2/2026, theo số liệu từ VSDC.
JustMarkets mang đến các công cụ và dịch vụ hỗ trợ cho các nhà giao dịch ở mọi cấp độ, giúp họ giao dịch theo cách riêng của mình.
Thời kỳ các nhà giao dịch phải phụ thuộc vào máy tính để bàn đã qua. Giờ đây, toàn bộ hoạt động này có thể thực hiện ngay trên điện thoại thông minh. Việc sử dụng internet di động ngày càng phổ biến nhờ sự phát triển của điện thoại thông minh giá phải chăng cùng chất lượng kết nối không ngừng được cải thiện. Trong khi Singapore và Malaysia đang dẫn đầu về tốc độ ứng dụng fintech, các quốc gia như Indonesia và Việt Nam lại phát triển mạnh theo xu hướng “mobile-first” – ưu tiên thiết bị di động.
Bên cạnh đó, hiểu biết tài chính của người dân trong khu vực cũng ngày càng được nâng cao, đặc biệt ở thế hệ trẻ. Theo thống kê, tại Philippines, nhóm nhà đầu tư cá nhân trong độ tuổi 18–29 chiếm 26,5%. Tại Indonesia, hơn một nửa trong tổng số 16,2 triệu nhà đầu tư đăng ký đều dưới 30 tuổi.
Những yếu tố thúc đẩy sự bùng nổ giao dịch di động
Một số yếu tố chính đứng sau sự bùng nổ của giao dịch trên thiết bị di động gồm:
Tính sẵn có – nhà giao dịch có thể bắt đầu mà không cần nguồn vốn lớn hay thiết bị đắt tiền;
Tốc độ – khả năng khớp lệnh tức thời và cập nhật dữ liệu trực tiếp giúp phản ứng nhanh trước biến động thị trường;
Tính năng – các ứng dụng hiện đại cung cấp các công cụ như biểu đồ, chỉ báo, và hỗ trợ AI phục vụ phân tích;
Bản địa hóa – ứng dụng tích hợp các phương thức thanh toán địa phương như GCash, OVO và GrabPay, đồng thời hỗ trợ nhiều ngôn ngữ.
Tất cả những yếu tố này đang giúp hoạt động giao dịch trở nên dễ tiếp cận hơn với đông đảo người dùng.
JustMarkets đáp ứng nhu cầu khu vực
Các công ty môi giới đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc thúc đẩy quá trình này. JustMarkets hiện cung cấp đầy đủ các lợi thế kể trên thông qua ứng dụng giao dịch dành cho khách hàng Đông Nam Á:
Tích hợp biểu đồ TradingView phục vụ phân tích chuyên sâu;
Khả năng khớp lệnh nhanh và hiệu quả ngay cả trong điều kiện thị trường biến động mạnh;
Cho phép giao dịch với đòn bẩy lên tới 1:3000;
Dịch vụ bản địa hóa với nhiều phương thức thanh toán khu vực, gói ngôn ngữ đa dạng, và hỗ trợ 24/7.
JustMarkets cung cấp các công cụ và dịch vụ hỗ trợ cho các nhà giao dịch ở mọi cấp độ, giúp họ giao dịch theo cách riêng của mình.
Thói quen mới của nhà giao dịch
Các nhà đầu tư tại Đông Nam Á hiện chủ yếu theo xu hướng “mobile-first” và phụ thuộc nhiều vào công nghệ. Điều này có thể quan sát rõ tại Thái Lan, nơi giao dịch trên internet hiện chiếm 24,61% tổng hoạt động trên sàn chứng khoán, với 6,82 triệu tài khoản giao dịch online đang hoạt động tính đến tháng 2/2026. Nhiều nhà giao dịch không chỉ giới hạn bản thân ở hoạt động giao dịch mà còn kết hợp công việc này với kinh doanh hoặc làm việc tự do.
Ngoài ra, các chính phủ trong khu vực cũng đang tích cực thúc đẩy sự phát triển của các công ty fintech, thông qua việc hoàn thiện khung pháp lý và nâng cấp hạ tầng ngành.
Chương tiếp theo của Giao dịch tài chính Đông Nam Á
Công nghệ sẽ tiếp tục đóng vai trò là động lực chính của hoạt động giao dịch. Trí tuệ nhân tạo, tự động hóa và phân tích tâm lý người tiêu dùng sẽ giúp cá nhân hóa hoạt động này cho khách hàng. Công nghệ blockchain cùng kết nối di động thế hệ mới sẽ giúp giao dịch nhanh hơn và minh bạch hơn. Điều này sẽ hỗ trợ các nhà giao dịch trên khắp Đông Nam Á hiện thực hóa tham vọng tài chính của mình bằng những công cụ phù hợp.
Cảnh báo rủi ro: Các công cụ giao dịch tài chính tiềm ẩn mức độ rủi ro cao và có thể không phù hợp với mọi nhà đầu tư. Các điều kiện thị trường có thể thay đổi nhanh chóng, và khoản lỗ có thể vượt quá số tiền ký quỹ ban đầu. Bài viết chỉ mang tính chất cung cấp thông tin và không được xem là khuyến nghị đầu tư.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – As part of the VinFast Global Business Conference held from May 4 to May 10, 2026, VinFast announced the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with 29 aftersales partners at the 2026 Global Business Conference. Organized by VinFast, the event marked the first time more than 200 investors and partners who have accompanied and will accompany VinFast across North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Kazakhstan have gathered together, representing another milestone in the company’s strategy to expand its global service network.
VinFast leaders and 29 after-sales partners at the Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony held as part of the VinFast Global Business Conference.
Under the MOUs, international partners are expected to establish EV service workshops that meet VinFast’s global standards in their respective markets. VinFast will ensure uniform, high-quality service through globally-standardized technician training and certification programs, consistent operating procedures and quality control systems, as well as a parts supply network targeting delivery of common spare parts within 24 hours in key markets.
The new agreements are part of VinFast’s long-term strategy to develop a comprehensive EV ecosystem aligned with its international standards, covering aftersales services, charging infrastructure, and customer support. This expansion is expected to further accelerate the transition to electric mobility while ensuring VinFast customers receive support throughout the entire product lifecycle.
VinFast’s international strategy is built on the operational foundation and aftersales capabilities it has already proven in Vietnam. By the end of 2025, VinFast had developed nearly 400 service workshops nationwide, bringing its total global network to nearly 800 facilities.
Building on this foundation, VinFast aims to expand to more than 1,100 service workshops globally in 2026, spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The network will be deployed through multiple models, including dealerships serving retail customers, fleet and transportation business clients, and third-party local service workshop partners.
At the same time, VinFast is implementing a range of customer support policies, including repair time commitments in Vietnam, replacement vehicle support in international markets, as well as battery inspection, software updates, and technical support throughout the ownership experience.
As part of the conference, international partners also visited VinFast’s manufacturing complex and the broader Vingroup ecosystem to gain deeper insights into VinFast’s production capabilities, operational scale, and global growth strategy.
Mr. Bui Viet Hung, Deputy CEO of Global Aftersales of VinFast, said: “Our goal is not simply to expand the network, but to build a customer-centric aftersales ecosystem that delivers an outstanding experience on a global scale. Through partnerships with experienced local operators and the application of VinFast’s global standards, we aim to provide aftersales services that are exceptional, responsive, and reliable. We also aspire to bring Vietnam’s five-star service culture and spirit of dedication to the world, creating a unique experience for international customers. That is VinFast’s long-term commitment to the transition to electric mobility.”
In addition to expanding its aftersales operations, VinFast continues to develop an integrated EV ecosystem that includes products, services, and charging infrastructure through partnerships with strategic partners such as V-Green and local charging infrastructure operators. Through this partner network, VinFast aims to develop a system of more than 1.5 million charging ports globally, helping expand access to charging infrastructure and deliver a seamless, convenient EV ownership experience for customers in international markets.

美國紐約 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年5月15日 – 備受矚目的 2026 年 Met Gala 於紐約大都會藝術博物館盛大舉行。本屆盛典以「服裝藝術（Costume Art）」為主題，匯聚全球最具影響力的時尚先鋒，共同編織了一個關於風格、創意與璀璨光芒的盛宴，並集中呈現了本季最為經典且獨具特色的天然鑽石珠寶造型。
沙漠鑽石：紅地毯上不容忽視的溫暖色調
「沙漠鑽石」（Desert diamonds）成為本屆 Met Gala 貫穿始終的視覺主線，無論是鑲嵌工藝還是色調層次，皆令人過目難忘。Rihanna 佩戴一對極為珍罕的 Glenn Spiro Moghul Golconda 彩棕黃色鑽石耳環，引領沙漠鑽石風潮，兩顆梨形天然鑽石總重達 51.9 克拉。Doja Cat 以一身裸色造型搭配高級珠寶品牌 Leviev 的大型花卉天然鑽石耳環，在極簡與極繁之間營造出強烈張力。Paloma Elsesser 佩戴 Bernard James 的 29.5 克拉天然鑽石頸鏈，中心鑲嵌一顆 15 克拉艷彩黃色（Fancy Vivid Yellow）梨形天然鑽石，氣場全開。Cara Delevingne 選擇了 De Beers London 高級珠寶系列 Forces of Nature 中的 Marquise Eyes 戒指，馬眼形切割黃鑽靈動而神秘。此外，Emma Chamberlain 則以 Chopard 的黃鑽與白鑽耳環，再次印證溫暖色調天然鑽石的恒久魅力。
Today’s biggest stars express individuality and confidence with natural diamonds
NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – The 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” took place May 4th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, bringing together leading figures from across the globe for an unforgettable evening. These tastemakers showcased the most classic, refined and distinctive diamond jewelry looks of the season. Below, A Diamond is Forever highlights the standout trends from the event.
Desert diamonds
Desert diamonds emerged as a striking throughline on the Met Gala carpet, with a range of hues in distinctive settings taking focus.
Rihanna led the trend in a pair of exceptionally rare old Moghul Golconda fancy brown-yellow diamond earrings by Glenn Spiro, featuring two pear-shaped natural diamonds totaling 51.9 carats. Doja Cat offset her all nude look with a pair of large Leviev Diamonds floral-shaped earrings while Paloma Elsesser made a statement in a 29.5-carat diamond necklace by Bernard James, centered around a 15-carat fancy light yellow pear-shaped natural diamond. Cara Delevingne wore a De Beers London Forces of Nature High Jewelry ring, featuring marquise yellow diamonds set as eyes, while Emma Chamberlain opted for yellow and white diamond earrings by Chopard, underscoring the continued allure of warm diamond hues.
Magnificent Diamond Earrings
A wide variety of captivating silhouettes defined the natural diamond earrings on the Met Gala carpet. Zoë Kravitz delivered a modern twist with oversized diamond flower earrings by Jessica McCormack. Chase Sui Wonders opted for Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Sea Fan earrings, bringing an element of sculptural artistry to the look. Gracie Abrams selected gently dangling Chanel earrings, adding understated fluidity, while Connor Storrie selected simple hoop earrings from Tiffany & Co., reinforcing the clean and enduring appeal of natural diamonds.
Standout Diamond Moments
Natural diamonds appeared in personal, unconventional and eye-catching ways, offering moments of surprise and awe. Power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z embodied this trend with Beyoncé wearing Chopard’s Queen of Kalahari necklace, named after the rare 342-carat diamond that provided 23 stones for Chopard’s Garden of Kalahari collection. Jay-Z contributed to the narrative with a vintage diamond brooch by Briony Raymond worn at the collar as an unexpected placement that underscored the piece’s versatility. Isha Ambani made the styling of diamonds an art form in itself, wearing her own diamond jewelry featuring approximately 150 carats of old mine-cut diamonds, including a three-strand necklace and chandelier earrings, while also incorporating diamonds sewn directly into the bodice of her sari to represent significant moments in her life.
Together, these looks highlighted a shift toward natural diamonds as vessels of personal expression, styled with intention, individuality, and a sense of the unexpected.
Air Corporate data reveals 9 in 10 founders incorporated in Hong Kong do so remotely, driven by a 20% surge in Middle Eastern entrepreneurs seeking cost-effective operational alternatives to Dubai.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – Air Corporate registered a 40.5% increase in Hong Kong incorporations in 2025, with the first quarter of 2026 already up 48% year-over-year. This data indicates that Hong Kong is reasserting itself as the leading Asian jurisdiction for company formation, fueled by a new wave of remote founders from the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
The prevailing narrative over the past five years suggested that Singapore was eclipsing Hong Kong; however, recent incorporation volumes challenge this. According to city-wide official figures cited by Vivian, Founder of Air Corporate, approximately 195,000 companies were registered in Hong Kong in 2025, compared to around 77,000 in Singapore.
“There was a lot of fuss about Singapore taking over Hong Kong as preferred jurisdiction over the last few years, but for 2025 alone, around 195,000 companies were formed in HK, vs around 77,000 for Singapore,” said Vivian. While city-wide registrations rose roughly 35% in 2025, incorporations at Air Corporate specifically grew by 40.5%. Vivian added, “With a 35% increase in the number of companies registered in 2025, Hong Kong is definitely back in the game as the top jurisdiction to start a company.”
The reality of Hong Kong company formation is increasingly global, lean, and founder-led. Nine in ten founders incorporated in Hong Kong with Air Corporate do not live there.
Key demographic and operational insights from Air Corporate’s client base include:
Approximately 90% of founders operate remotely from abroad, while 10% or less are based in Hong Kong.
Entrepreneurs aged 35 to 44 represent the largest age cohort at 38%, demonstrating that Hong Kong attracts founders in their prime career years rather than just younger digital nomads.
Serial entrepreneurs make up 60% of Air Corporate’s client mix, utilizing Hong Kong as an operational base for multiple companies, while first-time founders account for the remaining 40%.
A total of 89% of new companies are launched by solo founders (58%) or small teams of two to five individuals (31%).
Mainland China, Hong Kong, Turkey, India, the UAE, Australia, France, and Morocco rank among the top source markets for these founders.
Furthermore, 73% of new Hong Kong incorporations are directly tied to physical goods trade with China. This consists of e-commerce and dropshipping businesses (38%) and the trading of goods (35%). The recovery of in-person trade flows, including events, such as the Canton Fair and various industrial fairs, is pulling foreign founders back into the Greater China orbit and establishing Hong Kong as the natural entry point and financial layer over the world’s largest manufacturing base.
Air Corporate’s data recorded a 20% year-over-year growth in founders originating from the Middle East. This shift highlights a reverse migration where founders previously incorporated in Dubai are now choosing Hong Kong. Based on Vivian’s observations, founders often arrive in Dubai expecting fast incorporation and low costs, but discover that incorporation and maintenance are significantly more expensive than in Hong Kong, and banking remains difficult. Consequently, many founders move to Hong Kong after 12 to 24 months in the UAE, a trend accelerated by the Hong Kong government’s strategic outreach to the region.
For lean, remote-first businesses, speed-to-market is a critical factor. A founder located anywhere in the world can incorporate in Hong Kong and open a working bank account in approximately 7 days using digital banking partners. Currently, 90% of Air Corporate’s clients utilize these digital banking partners.
“Hong Kong and Singapore are the only places in Asia where you can set up your company, get a corporate account, and be in business in less than a week,” concluded Vivian.
Air Corporate is a service provider facilitating company formation and incorporation in Hong Kong for serial entrepreneurs, first-time founders, and remote-first business owners operating globally.
