  • May 6, 2020 TO: ASMI Board of Directors FROM: Hannah Lindoff, Senior Director of Global Marketing & Strategy RE: International Program Report
    DATE: May 6, 2020 TO: ASMI Board of Directors FROM: Hannah Lindoff, Senior Director of Global Marketing & Strategy RE: International Program Report The international program received a Market Access Program (MAP) funding award of $4,453,652 for FY21. The FY 2021 international program spend plan also includes $1,540,000 in Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP) funds and $2,495,000 in matching funds, for a total budget of $8,488,652 to conduct marketing programs in nine regional programs across the globe. Included in this budget are ATP funds specifically set aside to fund activities managed by the technical program, communications program, and sustainability program. This budget reflects the broad diversification strategy that ASMI international embarked upon with the advent of ATP funding in 2019. The budget also reflects a five year spend plan for ATP. Although official confirmation is pending, we have received un-official confirmation that our proposal to extend ATP across five years rather than three has been approved. With the outbreak of a novel coronavirus first detected in China in December 2019, the ASMI international program began to deal with the effects of COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020. Shipments to China had already slowed substantially due to the ongoing tariff situation, but the extension of the Lunar New Year and extended shutdowns in processing facilities and ports sent ripple effects throughout the global supply chain and as early as late January, ASMI saw its first cancelled events. In February, ASMI welcomed the first ever millennial in-bound mission to Alaska, bringing buyers from the “next generation” to Seattle and Kodiak.

  • Emerging Cross Border Tourism Region Macau-Zhuhai: Place in Play/Place to Play
    Emerging Cross Border Tourism Region Macau-Zhuhai: Place in Play/Place to Play Hendrik Tieben School of Architecture, Thes Chinese University of Hong Kong Wong Foo Yuan Bld. 610G, CUHK Campus, Shatin, NT, Hong Kong SAR Email: [email protected] Abstract: n This paper explores the new tourism region Macau-Zhuhai which is emerging in the south-western part of the Pearl River Delta (PRD). Since Macau’s handover to the People’s Republic of China in 1999, the former Portuguese enclave is becoming increasingly integrated into the PRD. Together with its mainland neighbor Zhuhai it is creating a bi-city region; although without coordinated planning. Currently, both cities embark on a first joint project encouraged by the Chinese Central Government on the island Hengqin. The paper is investigating the attempts of both cities to re- invent themselves as places to play and how they find themselves on the playing field of global and national forces. The paper ends with the suggestion of an alternative understanding of tourism and destinations which learns from spatial practices of a new generation of tourists in Asia. Key words: Zhuhai, Macau, tourism, heritage, eco-city Producing a region to play n The paper investigates the transformation of the emerging cross-boundary tourism region Macau-Zhuhai in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). The investigation departs from Sheller and Urry’s observation of Places to Play/Places in Play (Sheller & Urry, 2004) which allows capturing the way how cities re-invent themselves to attract investments, tourists, and residents, and how, at the same time, they can become exposed to forces which undermine the qualities which originally made them attractive.

  • A Case Study on Open Rice by Daisy Chan
    Who is being exploited under the emerging culture of restaurant review? - A case study on Open Rice By Daisy Chan (1155025254) Scope of Research With the enabling of internet services and access, numerous sharing platforms emerged in an extraordinary speed. While social network platforms like facebook, LinkedIn, tweeters, weibo and many others gained its popularity in connecting and “socializing” people around the world, web surfers who share similar hobbies, interests or values are also being “pulled together” to form their own communities. Numerous websites which themed on various subjects like cosmetics, travel, food and health, entertainment and education etc have been established to facilitate chatting, intelligence and recommendation sharing among netizens with common interests. These types of open platforms, once accumulated critical mass, will soon become a media for corporations to reach their specific audience groups. With the rise of website fed by user-generated content that ends up yielding profit through online advertisements, skeptical criticism about “exploitation” of free labour arising from the internet prosumption1 is always invited. In this paper, I would like to take a close study of one of the most popular restaurant guide and review websites in Hong Kong – Open Rice, to examine whether the prousers are being exploited, and if the case is established, to what degree and in what form in the cultural context. Open Rice, an integrated website which provides information of over 41,000 restaurants in Hong Kong and shares restaurant reviews contributed by hundreds of thousands of users, was initially established by a group of food lovers in Hong Kong in 19992.
