Bright tourism prospects spawn international travel festival

International Travel Festival | Travel Expo | Travel Festival | Toursim Expo

Rising from a world economic recession in 2008, the global tourism industry is now gaining momentum for sustained growth, and so is the Philippines, powered by vacationing overseas Filipinos worldwide (OFWs) and an increasing number of visitors from East Asian countries.

Such is the phenomenon behind the emergence of the forthcoming International Travel Festival (ITF) 2013, now covering, not only what used to be a solely inbound promotional event dubbed “Travel Philippines Show”, but also outbound travel named “Euro-AmeriAsian Travel, Trade & Cultural Expo.”

The inclusion of both inbound and outbound travel makes the ITF a boon to a genuine two-way tourism traffic, enabling it to contribute to the growth of the global tourism industry now reportedly worth an estimated $1.15 trillion from a yearly revenue rise of 1.5 percent over the past five years.

ITF organizer Exlink Events says the Philippines can also benefit from the foreign trips of its citizens through new product ideas, business concepts, knowledge and discoveries, innovations and technologies, and modern insights that they will bring with them on their return home.

“At the same time, the foreign-based international airlines that fly Filipinos to overseas destinations will also have to bring in tourists from abroad in their return flights,” said Exlink chief executive officer Mitch Ballesteros.

“Thus, the net effect of brisk inbound and outbound travel is a thriving tourism industry that gets a boost from both ends,” Ballesteros explained, citing tourism’s total contribution of $6.3 trillion and 255 million jobs to the global economy in 2011 alone.\

“This positive development makes the International Travel Festival very timely, effectively promoting the Philippines as a major player in global tourism, not just as a tourist destination, but also as a preferred source of worldclass tourists,” Ballesteros pointed out.

To participate in the International Travel Festival are exhibitors from both inbound and outbound sectors involving airlines, hotels and resorts, travel agencies, tour operators, MICE (meetings, incentive travel, conventions and events) organizers, shopping malls and retail chains, transfers and transport firms, cruise ships and domestic passenger vessels, telecommunication companies, destination owners and managers, banks and financial institutions, and the academe and various service providers, among many others.

To be showcased at the expo are both local and foreign destinations and travel establishments, making it a truly international event that can help the Department of Tourism attain its target 10 million foreign and 56 million domestic tourists by 2016.

The International Travel Festival is slated at the SMX Convention Center on December 11 to 12.

OFW expo set to mobilize funds from Pinoys abroad

Balikbayan Business Expo

An event for the more than 10 million overseas Filipinos worldwide (OFWs) and their relatives in the Philippines is being organized to help turn them into entrepreneurs by channeling some of their over $21-billion remittances from mere consumption to investments.

The event, dubbed Mega Balikbayan/OFW Expo 2013, is in the thick of preparations to put under one roof all the requirements that the OFWs and their relatives need to become successful entrepreneurs.

Expo organizer Exlink Events said close to 500 exhibitors were being targeted to ensure that the multitude of OFWs, balikbayans and their relatives would have a complete menu of businesses, knowledge sources, support services and all the enabling mechanisms to achieve that goal.

“That means gathering all the possible sources of business opportunities, investment options, service providers, knowledge and training outfits, banks and other financial institutions, and all other private and public support agencies, including the DOLE (Department Of Labor and Employment), POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration), OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration), DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs), DTI (Department of Trade & Industry), Board of Investments (BOI), DOF (Department of Finance), and many others, all catering to the entrepreneurial needs of the millions of OFWs and their families,” said Exlink chief executive officer Mitch Ballesteros.

“This expo is designed to make our OFWs and balikbayans feel like being the real heroes that they are, who can help transform our economy from being merely consumption driven to strongly investment led. Obviously, they have both the numbers and the collective resources to make it happen,” Ballesteros stressed.

The OFWs, according to POEA data, number to roughly 9.5 million to 12.5 million, or around 10 to 11 percent of the country’s total population. This figure does not include the total number of their relatives that the expo is also catered to.

Moreover, some 1.7 million OFWs were reportedly awaiting deployment for the first 10 months of last year, which the POEA said would reflect an 8.6-percent growth year on year.

For full-year 2012, the OFWs reportedly remitted more than $21 billion, equivalent to nine percent of the country’s $224.75-billion gross domestic product in 2011, and 8.5 percent in 2012.

Still, the OFW remittances continue to grow, always exceeding the government’s target in the past several years.

“Thus, we are dealing with a truly powerful sector (OFWs) who deserve the best treatment we can offer through the Mega Balikbayan/OFW Expo,” Ballesteros said.

Now on its 10^th year, the expo includes the OFW Business Summit and the Outstanding Balikbayan Reputation Awards (OBRA).

Constituting the expo are three components – 1) MEGA INVEST presenting investment opportunities in various fields such as real estate and property, manufacturing, support technologies, agri-aqua business, retail and wholesale distributorships, service outlets, and many others; 2) MEGA EXPERIENCE offering various holiday destinations, health and wellness products and services, food and beverages, and pets and hobbies; and 3) MEGA SHOP for discounted items, online sellers, souvenir items and regional products.

The Mega Balikbayan/OFW Expo is slated at the SMX Convention Center on December 11 to 12. More information about the event can be obtained from Exlink Events (tel: 632 6433887; mobile: 0920 9242532, 0920 9814376; email: info@exlinkevents.com; or visit www.exlinkevents.com).

IPC and Google demonstrate the power of cloud computing for the enterprise

Big Data

Johan Segergen, Google Enterprise Country Manager for Thailand and Philippines shares to audience his thoughts on Clouddriven business Apps from Google.

Pioneering cloud services provider IPC® (IP Converge Data Services, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of ePLDT, recently hosted the Google Enterprise Day seminar held at the Makati Shangrila Hotel. Executives headed by Google Enterprise Country Manager for Thailand & the Philippines Johan Segergren taught participants how they can “work the way they live” where there is utmost collaboration and transparency through Clouddriven business apps from Google.

Over five million organizations have gone Google worldwide and Segergren said that this is transforming the workplace paradigm from one that is locationcentric to one that is ubiquitous or everywhere. Google apps are built to help people in an organization communicate and collaborate more effectively. Users get email, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, calendaring and scheduling, groups, intranets and video sharing anywhere, anytime, on any device.

As IPC’s “SoftwareAs A Service” offering, Google Apps require zero capex on licenses and hardware and need minimal administration, creating tremendous time and cost savings for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises alike.
