Press Release
Sichuan-Chongqing-Guizhou “West Triangle” Cultural Tourism Cooperation Alliance established
The integrated development of cultural tourism in western China has blown a new clarion call. On September 26, at the 2021 International Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports Conference and the 16th Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Conference held in Tongren, Guizhou Province, China, the Sichuan-Chongqing-Guizhou “West Triangle” Cultural Tourism Cooperation Alliance was established. It will build a platform, help integrate resources, and promote the cultural and tourism cooperation for the three cities.
Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou are closely connected in geography, so they have natural advantages in cooperation. For example, Chongqing has a hot summer, while Guizhou embraces a cool summer, therefore, every year at least 150,000 Chongqing residents come to Tongzi which is located in the north of Guizhou and near to Chongqing to escape from the hot temperature.
From the perspective of the development conditions of the cultural tourism industry, Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou, with their beautiful natural sceneries and rich historical and cultural relics, are all major tourist provinces (cities) in western China. Besides, the three provinces (cities) are unique in topography, natural landscapes and cultural environments. Guizhou, known as the “the province of mountain parks “, has Karst landform in Libo , Yuntai Mountain in Shibing, and the ecological green island Fanjing Mountain, Danxia landform in Chishui and many other distinct natural landscapes. Meanwhile, the colorful ethnic minority folk activities provide a dramatic backdrop to its attractive landscape.
The rapid development of tourism markets of the three cities has laid a solid foundation for the building of the “West Triangle” of cultural tourism. In addition, the strong willingness to jointly promote the integration and development of culture and tourism has been a super glue for the gradual formation of the “Western Triangle”.
In April 2020, along with the operation of Chengdu-Chongqing-Guizhou high-speed loop railway, the cooperation of cultural tourism among the three areas have embarked on a fast lane of development, which means tourists can travel in the plains of Chengdu, the mountain city Chongqing, and the plateau of Guiyang in a convenient and fast way only with a loop train.
Based on the current situation, the three cities have reached a deep consensus that the prospects for the joint development of the Sichuan-Chongqing-Guizhou cultural and tourism industries are quite broad. In the new era of high-speed rail, accelerating the realization of the superposition effect “1+1+1>3” will be the top priority in the next step.
In the near future, with the establishment of cooperation mechanisms like the Sichuan-Chongqing-Guizhou “West Triangle” Cultural Tourism Cooperation Alliance, the three provinces and cities will continue to deepen regional cultural tourism cooperation and jointly enhance the influence of regional cultural tourism brands.

Airwheel SE3SX AI Wheel Luxury Suitcase Wins 2026 WGA for Smart Electric Riding Carry-On Hand Luggage
HONG KONG, CHINA – The SE3SX Cabin Suitcase recently received the Silver Award in Product Design at the 2026 WGA Wonder Global Design Award, standing out among numerous international entries. The recognition highlights not only its distinctive industrial design, but also Airwheel’s continued exploration of how intelligent technology can be integrated into real-world travel.
Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel is developing it as an active mobility device—combining electric drive technology, intelligent controls, connected features and premium design in a compact carry-on format.
From Traditional Luggage to Intelligent Mobility
For decades, the fundamental concept of luggage has remained largely unchanged: pack belongings, pull the handle and walk.
Airwheel approached the problem differently.
The company recognized that the most physically demanding part of many journeys does not necessarily happen during a flight or train ride. It often occurs while travelers move through expansive airports, railway stations, exhibition centers, hotels and transportation hubs, carrying or pulling luggage over long distances.
The result was a new product category that combines luggage with personal mobility.
The Airwheel SE3SX Electric Riding Cabin Suitcase allows users to transition from conventional pulling to powered riding. Equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, the suitcase can reach a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h, providing an alternative way to move through appropriate travel environments.
Its intelligent riding handle integrates key riding controls, allowing users to manage acceleration, braking, steering and reverse functions with a relatively intuitive control layout. This approach reduces the learning curve while making the riding experience feel more like a compact personal mobility device.
For Airwheel, the objective is not simply to make a suitcase that can move. It is to make luggage more useful once travelers leave the airport gate, hotel lobby or railway platform.
SE3SX: Where Intelligent Design Meets Practical Engineering
The SE3SX combines mobility with a structure designed around both riding and luggage protection.
Its motorized front wheel uses a retractable structure that can extend the wheelbase by approximately 180 mm when riding. The longer wheelbase is designed to enhance stability and handling, helping the suitcase maintain a more controlled riding experience across suitable indoor and outdoor surfaces.
The suitcase body uses an ABS+PC composite construction, reinforced with an integrated aviation-aluminum frame structure. With a maximum load capacity of 95 kg, the design balances the requirements of riding stability with the everyday demands of carrying personal belongings.
This engineering approach reflects a broader philosophy behind the SE3SX: intelligent functionality should not come at the expense of practicality.
A Smart Suitcase still needs to function as luggage. A Luxury Suitcase still needs to look refined. And an Electric Riding Suitcase still needs to provide a reliable and intuitive riding experience.
SE3SX brings these elements together in one 20-inch travel platform.
Intelligent Interaction Beyond the Physical Ride
The evolution of the SE3SX does not stop with electric mobility.
Through its dedicated intelligent APP, users can access key operating information such as riding speed, battery level and accumulated mileage. Riding speed can be adjusted within a range of 0.1–9.9 km/h, allowing users to select a more suitable pace for different environments.
The APP also extends control beyond basic riding.
Users can remotely control the suitcase’s retractable structure, customize its lighting experience and access additional intelligent functions. The built-in ambient lighting supports 8 colors and 9 lighting effects, allowing the suitcase to develop a distinctive visual identity while reinforcing its technology-oriented design language.
Additional functions include low-battery reminders, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, cruise control, intelligent remote control and programming-oriented features.
Together, these capabilities transform the suitcase from a mechanical travel accessory into a connected intelligent device.
The idea is simple: instead of forcing users to adapt to complicated technology, the technology should gradually disappear into the experience.
Apple Find My Adds Another Layer of Travel Security
Connectivity also plays an important role in modern travel.
The Airwheel SE3SX supports Apple Find My, allowing compatible Apple devices to help users locate the suitcase through the Find My network. When the suitcase is within an appropriate nearby range, users can also activate a sound to assist with locating it.
For travelers moving through crowded airports, railway stations, hotels or other busy environments, location-based connectivity can provide an additional layer of reassurance.
The feature reflects a wider shift in how people think about travel equipment. A modern suitcase is no longer isolated from the digital ecosystem surrounding its owner.
It can be connected, monitored and managed as part of a broader intelligent travel experience.
Designed for Real-World Travel
Advanced technology only becomes meaningful when it works within real travel conditions.
The Airwheel SE3SX adopts a 20-inch carry-on format, measuring approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm, making it compact enough for everyday business trips, leisure travel and other mobility scenarios.
The product is equipped with a 73.26 Wh lithium battery and incorporates a modular, removable battery design to facilitate handling and inspection where required. The battery has passed International safety certification.
A TSA-compatible combination lock further supports international travel, while an external USB output interface allows users to recharge mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and Bluetooth headphones during a journey.
These details demonstrate an important principle behind SE3SX: intelligent travel technology must remain connected to the realities of travel.
An Award That Recognizes More Than Appearance
The 2026 WGA Wonder Global Design Award evaluates product design across multiple dimensions, including creativity, aesthetics, functionality, practicality, market impact, emotional impact and problem-solving.
The SE3SX Silver Award therefore represents recognition beyond visual design.
Its combination of electric mobility, intelligent interaction, structural engineering and travel-oriented functionality demonstrates how a familiar everyday product can be reconsidered through technology.
For Airwheel, international design recognition has become part of a longer journey.
Since entering the intelligent mobility field, the company has continued to invest in areas including electric drive systems, intelligent control, structural design and human-machine interaction. Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents globally and has developed a portfolio spanning intelligent mobility products and smart travel equipment.
The company’s products have also received recognition from international design and innovation programs, reflecting its ongoing efforts to combine technology with practical product design.
Building a Broader Intelligent Travel Ecosystem
SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase is the flagship expression of this philosophy, but it is not the only product in Airwheel’s intelligent travel portfolio.
The SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase extend smart riding technology to different travel preferences, combining riding functionality with features such as intelligent APP connectivity, Apple Find My and USB charging.
The SE3miniT Boarding suitcase focuses on a lighter and more compact riding experience for users who prioritize portability and flexible urban mobility.
For travelers requiring additional luggage capacity, the SE3T expands the concept into a larger 24-inch format with approximately 48 liters of storage capacity and a riding speed of up to 13 km/h.
Airwheel also extends intelligent riding technology into family travel with the SQ3S and SQ3S children’s smart riding suitcases, creating a different approach to mobility and entertainment for younger travelers.
Together, these products demonstrate that Airwheel’s vision is broader than a single electric suitcase.
The company is building a product ecosystem around the idea that travel equipment can become more intelligent, more connected and more responsive to individual needs.
The Next Step in Intelligent Travel
The evolution of luggage is no longer limited to lighter materials, larger wheels or additional storage.
The next generation is increasingly about interaction.
From Smart Suitcase to AI Suitcase, from traditional carry-on luggage to Electric Riding Suitcase, Airwheel is exploring how technology can give everyday travel equipment new capabilities without making the experience unnecessarily complicated.
The Airwheel SE3SX represents one step in that evolution.
It combines powered mobility, intelligent control, connected functions, premium construction and carry-on-oriented design in a single platform—turning the suitcase from something travelers simply pull behind them into something that can actively participate in the journey.
For Airwheel, the future of travel is not simply about arriving faster.
It is about making the entire journey smarter, easier and more connected. And with the SE3SX, that future is beginning to take shape—one journey, one innovation and one intelligent suitcase at a time.

Roberto Cioffi Highlights Why Financial Planning Must Adapt as Business Conditions Change
-
Corporate finance professional Roberto Cioffi explains why strong financial planning combines disciplined frameworks with the flexibility to respond when assumptions no longer match business conditions.
CALGARY, Alberta, Sep 11, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Every budget and financial forecast begins with a set of assumptions. Companies estimate revenue, expenses, demand, interest rates, operating conditions, and other factors based on the information available at the time. The challenge is that businesses rarely operate in an environment where those assumptions remain unchanged.

Roberto Cioffi, a Calgary-based corporate finance professional with nearly two decades of experience in financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, financial modeling, and business analysis, believes this is why flexibility should be considered an important part of financial discipline.
“A forecast is based on what you know at a particular point in time,” Cioffi said. “When the conditions or assumptions change, the value comes from understanding why they changed and what that means for the business.”
Cioffi currently works as a Director of Corporate Finance, where his responsibilities include corporate financial planning, annual budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, capital allocation, expenditure reviews, business opportunity analysis, and supporting strategic planning. His experience has given him a close view of how financial plans interact with changing business conditions.
Financial Plans Depend on Assumptions
Budgets and forecasts can provide companies with a framework for allocating resources and measuring performance. However, Cioffi believes leadership teams should also understand the assumptions supporting those plans.
Interest rates may change. Operating costs may rise or fall. Consumer behavior can shift. Revenue may develop differently than expected. Broader economic conditions can also affect the environment in which a company operates.
When those factors change, comparing actual performance against the original plan can help leadership understand what has happened and why.
“The difference between a forecast and the actual result is often where an important conversation begins,” Cioffi said. “Instead of only asking whether the company was above or below the forecast, it can be more useful to understand what caused the difference.”
A variance may reflect a temporary event, an incorrect assumption, a change in operating conditions, or a larger trend. Identifying the reason can give leadership better context when deciding whether the original plan still makes sense.
Flexibility Does Not Mean Constantly Changing Direction
Cioffi cautions against interpreting flexible financial planning as a reason to continually rewrite plans whenever results differ from expectations.
Instead, he sees financial discipline and flexibility as complementary ideas. A clear budget or forecast gives an organization something against which it can measure performance. Flexibility allows leadership to recognize when new information is significant enough to warrant another look at the assumptions behind that plan.
“A strong financial framework creates consistency,” Cioffi said. “The goal is not to change direction every time something moves. The goal is to recognize when the facts have changed enough that the original assumptions need to be reconsidered.”
This approach can be particularly useful when leadership teams conduct regular reviews of financial performance. Rather than treating the annual budget as a document that remains untouched throughout the year, companies can use actual results and updated information to better understand how the business is developing.
Understanding the Story Behind the Numbers
Cioffi’s perspective has developed through years of working at different levels of corporate finance. He began his career as a Financial Analyst before advancing to Senior Financial Analyst and Finance Manager roles. As his responsibilities expanded, he became increasingly involved in annual planning, forecasting, operational analysis, business performance, and discussions with senior leadership.
Those experiences reinforced his belief that financial information is most useful when it is considered alongside the operational context behind it.
“Numbers tell a story about how a business is performing, but you still have to understand the decisions and circumstances behind those numbers,” Cioffi said. “That context is important when you are trying to determine what should happen next.”
For example, an unexpected increase in expenses may appear negative when viewed alone, but the reason for that increase matters. It could reflect an unplanned cost, or it could result from an intentional business decision. Similarly, revenue that falls below a forecast can have several possible causes, each of which may require a different response.
Cioffi believes finance teams can contribute to these discussions by connecting financial results with information from other areas of the organization.
Financial Planning as an Ongoing Business Process
Cioffi views effective financial planning as an ongoing process rather than a one-time annual exercise. That process includes establishing expectations, measuring actual performance, examining meaningful differences, and revisiting assumptions as new information becomes available.
He also believes communication is an important part of that work. Financial models can become complex, but leadership teams still need to understand the key assumptions and implications behind them.
“Financial information is most useful when the people involved in the decision understand what it actually means,” Cioffi said. “The technical work matters, but so does the ability to explain what the information is telling you.”
As business conditions continue to evolve, Cioffi believes the companies that approach planning with both structure and adaptability can be better prepared to understand change. The purpose is not to predict every development correctly. Instead, it is to create a framework that helps leaders recognize when expectations and reality have started to move apart.
