To get straight to the point – I welcome the measures against AI, because what has been published in recent months is partly inhumane and violates human and personal rights. Penya strictly adheres to applicable law in all matters, especially copyright. We legally edit classic books that are in the public domain and free from any copyright. We edit these books gently to make the sometimes heavily outdated language more fluidly readable—without changing the character of the books/stories. Especially for training purposes and general education, we offer the great classics of literature in slightly modernised language – from Alexandre Dumas and Jules Verne to Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. I prefer to offer these classics in Tagalog/Filipino, as they are not available in my native language. In addition, I create audiobooks with the help of licensed TTS software. These are primarily aimed at people with visual impairments, the blind, and illiterates, to provide them access to classic literature. Here, I am particularly active with audiobooks in Tagalog/Filipino, as there are hardly any libraries in the Philippines, few bookshops, and the majority of the literature offered is in English. The selection also includes bedtime stories for children and stories that serve as meditation aids to help relax. Read the most famos and exiting stories ever written – slightly modified with a more modern vocabulary in our Classic eBooks – or listen to those adventures with an AudioBook – perfect for education. Here you'll find also eBooks and AudioBooks in Tagalog, which aren't available otherwise.

Sustainability and Accessibility: The European Accessibility Act Makes E-books Inclusive Worldwide in 2025 Starting June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) transforms the digital reading landscape by mandating that all e-books sold in the EU meet strict accessibility standards. Publishers must ensure their digital products are fully usable by people with a wide range of disabilities—this means e-books must be compatible with screen readers, navigable via keyboard, and structured for easy comprehension by assistive technologies.

What Visa/Mastercard can actually refuse: AI-generated deepfakes (especially of celebrities/politicians) Non-consensual AI content (fake images of people) AI content with copyright violations Fraudulent AI content (Fake News, Scams) What is still allowed: AI tools like Perplexity (search engines, productivity tools) Legitimate AI software (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) AI-supported services (e.g. Visa's own AI shopping features) Perplexity falls under "AI tools/software" - not under "AI-generated content. MASSIVE CORPORATE ACTIONS AGAINST AI CONTENT 2025: YouTube (July 2025): Complete demonetisation of mass-produced AI videos Ban on AI Slop: Repetitive, low-effort AI Content But: AI tools are still allowed when "human value added" Meta/Facebook: Deprioritizing AI-generated spam in Feeds Demonetisation of unoriginal AI content AI labels mandatory for all AI-generated content China (September 2025): Legal requirement: All AI content must be labelled.

In the meantime, VISA and Mastercard generally prohibit the purchase of AI products with their credit cards. AI-generated content has been excluded from monetisation by YouTube, Vimeo, among others. Facebook, Spotify, TikTok, the People's Republic of China, and others have banned or heavily restricted AI content and imposed a labelling requirement. Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, and other film companies are currently suing the largest distributors of AI, including Midjourney, MiniMax, WME, CAA, and others. AI already did cost some million jobs – time to stop this!

Forgotten Island: DreamWorks Explores Filipino Mythology on the Big Screen DreamWorks Animation – upcoming feature film, "Forgotten Island," set for release in September 2026.

Dreams supporting Creativity: How Bedtime Stories and Imaginative Sleep Boost Children’s Problem-Solving Skills Scientific studies clearly show: creative and funny dreams play a crucial role in developing problem-solving skills and inspiring children. When kids are free to imagine, their minds engage in flexible thinking, trying out new ideas and experimenting with solutions—even while asleep.

Wo der Urlaub keinen Spaß mehr macht – und wo er noch ein echtes Erlebnis ist Massentourismus ist längst kein Randthema mehr. Von Barcelona bis Zandvoort, von Palma de Mallorca bis Dubrovnik – die Schlagzeilen wiederholen sich: überfüllte Strände, verstopfte Gassen, gestiegene Mieten, genervte Anwohner und kreative, teils skurrile Abwehrstrategien. Wer in der Hochsaison an einigen der bekanntesten Urlaubsziele ankommt, merkt schnell, dass die oft romantisierte Vorstellung vom „Urlaub am Traumstrand“ oder „Sightseeing in der Weltmetropole“ in der Realität ernüchternd wirken kann. Auf Mallorca etwa ist es nicht mehr möglich, sich einfach eine Liege am Strand zu nehmen und direkt vor Ort zu bezahlen. Stattdessen blockieren digitale Reservierungssysteme Plätze bereits im Vorfeld – teils sogar wochenweise durch Hotels, die die Mietliegen exklusiv an ihre Gäste weiterreichen. Für spontane Besucher bleibt oft nur der Gang in die hintere Reihe oder gleich der Verzicht. Wer dann für zwei Liegen mit Schirm fast 20 Euro täglich bezahlt, fühlt sich schnell mehr wie ein Zaungast in einer überbuchten Hotelanlage als wie ein freier Reisender. In Zandvoort, dem Badeort westlich von Amsterdam, griffen die Bewohner zu ganz eigenen Mitteln: Sie gaben in Google Maps falsche Verkehrsmeldungen ein, sodass Navigationsgeräte Reisende gar nicht erst bis in das Zentrum leiteten. Für die Einheimischen eine Notwehrmaßnahme gegen den täglich anschwellenden Besucherstrom, der kaum noch Platz für das Leben der 17.000 Bewohner ließ. In Barcelona wiederum protestieren Einheimische inzwischen mit Wasserpistolen gegen Touristen, um ihrem Ärger Luft zu machen – ein bizarr anmutendes Bild, das aber auf einen tiefen gesellschaftlichen Konflikt verweist: Zwischen der wirtschaftlichen Abhängigkeit vom Tourismus und dem Wunsch nach einer lebenswerten Heimat für die Bevölkerung. Wenn Traumziele zu Albträumen werden Überfüllung, unerschwinglich steigende Preise, touristische Monokultur – das sind die typischen Symptome des Overtourism. Städte wie Venedig, Amsterdam oder Dubrovnik reagieren bereits mit Eintrittsgebühren, Besucher-Obergrenzen und speziellen Lenkungssystemen. Doch die Erfahrungen zeigen: Oft verlagern sich die Probleme nur von einem Hotspot zum nächsten. Wer sich als Reisender nicht gut vorbereitet, läuft Gefahr, zwischen überteuerten Liegen, überfüllten Bussen und genervten Stadtbewohnern kaum noch Erholung zu finden. Für viele Urlauber stellt sich daher inzwischen die Frage: Gibt es überhaupt noch Orte, an denen man in Ruhe reisen kann – ohne digitale Reservierungspflicht, Wasserpistolendemos oder kilometerlange Warteschlangen? Die Antwort lautet ja – doch man muss sie kennen. Paradiese jenseits der Touristenströme Während die Schlagzeilen von überfüllten Metropolen berichten, gibt es auf der Welt unzählige Reiseziele, die wundervoll, authentisch und bislang kaum überlaufen sind. Sie verlangen manchmal eine Extraportion Recherche oder den Mut, abseits der bekannten Pfade zu reisen – doch gerade das macht ihren Reiz aus. Die Azoren (Portugal) Neun Inseln mitten im Atlantik bieten spektakuläre Kraterseen, heiße Quellen und schwarze Lava-Strände. Touristisch sind sie noch weit entfernt vom Trubel der Balearen. Hotels beinhalten oft Liegen und Ausrüstung – kein digitales „Beach-Booking“ nötig. Asturien und Galicien (Nordspanien) Während Katalonien und Andalusien von Besuchern überlaufen sind, findet man hier wilde Küsten, grüne Täler und Strände, die nicht einmal in der Hochsaison überfüllt wirken. Zudem ein Paradies für Liebhaber von frischen Meeresfrüchten. Luang Prabang (Laos) Statt der touristischen Überlastung Thailands oder Vietnams bietet Laos’ Kulturhauptstadt Tempel, Märkte und Wasserfälle in einer entspannten Atmosphäre. Hotels locken mit inkludierten Komfortleistungen, statt Zusatzgebühren für jede Kleinigkeit. Inseln der Philippinen jenseits von Boracay Während Boracay über Jahrzehnte unter exzessivem Tourismus leiden musste (und sogar zwangsweise geschlossen wurde), locken Palawan, Siquijor oder Camiguin mit unberührter Natur und kristallklaren Stränden – ohne den Druck überfüllter Resorts. Skandinavische Küstenorte (z. B. Ålesund, Norwegen) Statt Barcelona oder Dubrovnik zieht es immer mehr bewusste Reisende in den Norden. Kleine Hafenstädte mit spektakulären Fjordlandschaften und klarer Luft bieten Ruhe – und Sonne im Hochsommer nahezu rund um die Uhr. PENYA-Reiseführer – Orientierung statt Überfüllung Gerade in einer Zeit, in der GPS-Apps manipulierbar sind, Hotels ganze Strandabschnitte „digital blockieren“ und Einheimische Touristen mit symbolischen Protestaktionen vertreiben, kommt es auf die richtige Vorbereitung an. PENYA Publishing hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Reisenden genau diese Orientierungshilfe zu bieten: Reiseführer zu den schönsten Orten der Welt, sorgfältig ausgewählt, fernab der ausgetretenen Pfade, und doch hervorragend erschlossen. Dabei stehen erlebnisreiche, nachhaltige und zugleich entspannte Urlaubsformen im Fokus: Strände, an denen die Liegen im Preis des Hotels inbegriffen sind – statt teuer aufgedrängter Zusatzgebühren. Städte, in denen Besucher willkommen sind, anstatt mit Wasserpistolen vertrieben zu werden. Landschaften, die Raum für Abenteuer bieten, ohne dass man ihn sich mit Tausenden anderen teilen muss. Es geht nicht darum, „Geheimtipps“ in Massenpublikationen zu entlarven – sondern darum, bewusste Entscheidungen zu treffen: Reisen dorthin, wo Balance zwischen Gastfreundschaft, Natur und Kultur noch funktioniert. Fazit Reisen soll inspirieren, verbinden und bereichern – nicht frustrieren oder entfremden. Wer im Sommer an Mallorcas Stränden auf Plastikbanderolen mit der Aufschrift „Reservado“ stößt oder in Barcelona nassgespritzt wird, merkt, dass die Balance zwischen Gastgebern und Besuchern kippt. Doch es gibt Alternativen: Orte, die wundervoll, authentisch und zugleich erholsam sind – wenn man sie kennt. Mit den PENYA-Reiseführern entdecken Urlauber genau diese Ziele: Plätze, an denen Urlaub tatsächlich noch Urlaub ist.

Sleep Vacation and Slow Travel The travel trends of 2025 reveal a profound shift in how people define the perfect getaway: sleep vacations and deliberate deceleration are taking center stage. Instead of stuffing holidays with endless activities, travelers are seeking spaces of genuine rest and restoration. Specialized hotels, sleep resorts, and wellness retreats are responding with customized sleep programs, where everything revolves around relaxation, mindfulness, and healthy living. Here, a good night’s sleep is seen as the ultimate luxury—and a vital key to physical and mental well-being. The nostalgia tourism movement goes hand in hand with slow travel, allowing guests to reconnect with cherished memories and traditional experiences. From scenic train rides across timeless landscapes to stays in historic hotels, these journeys offer the comfort of the familiar and the delights of a slower pace. Instead of rushing from one sight to the next, travelers rediscover the joy of lingering in a single place, being present in the moment. Digital detox holidays are now a conscious choice for many. More guests want to completely unplug while away—setting aside smartphones and the web to fully experience nature, culture, and unhurried encounters with others. Mobile-free chalets, meditation retreats, and wellness hotels promise a break from digital stimuli, helping guests recharge, reflect, and return home renewed. Multi-generational trips are becoming increasingly popular. With families and close friends at the heart of the experience, these journeys span three generations or more, creating deeply shared memories and strong emotional bonds. Spacious, flexible accommodations, nature-based activities, and thoughtful itineraries ensure everyone feels included and cherished, free from everyday pressures. Artificial intelligence is now a trusted travel companion. Smart bots and personalized digital assistants help manage itineraries, offer instant translation, and provide custom suggestions, making trip planning stress-free. This leaves guests free to immerse themselves in discovery and enjoyment, confident that logistics are taken care of. In 2025, travel is less about rushing and more about deep satisfaction. The new priorities are authenticity, health, and meaningful encounters—turning every journey into a source of inspiration and real transformation.

The traditional seven dwarfs from Snow White each possess their own distinct personalities and wisdom, while our dragon tales explore both the fearsome and noble aspects of these legendary creatures.
