A Taste of Adventure Falowa Boat Ride in Batanes

Ever wonder how people travel between the islands in Batanes? You must have at least an ounce of adventure to get on that boat with shallow draft to make it possible to float on the typically wild waves of this northernmost area of the Philippines.

El Nido Video

Had fun in El Nido and decided to create a simple video of the places I visited.  If you ask me, El Nido is definitely one of the best places for travel in the Philippines. Its becoming a bit crowded, though. So better check it out the soonest, before the mass of unwanted tourists discover this by droves. You can see the video here --

Beach Management (Video Lesson)

Many beach areas around the world are in dire threats of over-development and mass tourists. There is a need to more effectively develop and manage the coastal areas to optimize the benefits of tourism on a sustained manner and minimize or even prevent any possible negative impacts of tourism.

Whether you're a tourism student, practitioner of local government person in charge of protecting your natural resources, you have to see this one to get even just a nugget of knowledge to better protect your beach from the impacts of tourism. And ensure that the site as a tourism product can sustain many generations of stakeholders.



There are actually so many other things that I was not able to include in the video. Let me see if I can make another one to serve as Part 2 of the beach management lesson. In the meantime, enjoy the video! And make sure you include the concepts in your plan if you get the opportunity to develop a coastal area!

Introduction to Ecotourism (Video)

Its been a long while since I last made an entry here. No excuses.... :-)

I have started a youtube channel called TOURISM TALK which is primarily addressed to the growing number of tourism and hospitality students and local government units that are looking into tourism as a way out of poverty of their people.

We have to put in our minds and hearts that tourism is like a powerful weapon of development or mass destruction. Unfortunately, not many have enough technical knowledge on how to create and ensure a sustainable form of tourism. This is beyond motherhood statements, guys. I really recommend you listen to the entire video to make you a more effective sustainable tourism advocate in your area. Just forgive the super low, bedroom voice and pump up your volume to the max.
