Visits to Bohol's churches are a common activity in Bohol especially during the Lenten season. The most visited is the Baclayon Church which is the oldest church in the province and one of the oldest in the Philippines. It is the town's main attraction! Ever since I was small and at every visit to Bohol, I passed by the Baclayon Church on the way to my Dad's place in Guindulman or to my Mom's at Mahayag, San Miguel. You would hardly miss the dark, imposing structure looming at the side of the road in the municipality of Baclayon. Only recently was I able to visit or enter the Baclayon Church and now my mind set was different. I have grown, and I now appreciate art, artefacts and their value. So the...

I love to travel. Who doesn't? That's why I have been researching different timeshares and sell off vacation memberships. Not to long after beginning my research did I come to find that timeshares are as they say, going out of style. What seems to be the new thing these days is a sell off vacation membership. These are luxury travel memberships that allow you to travel more often and the cost to join is often thousands less than that of owning a timeshare. Here are a few differences I found between timeshares and luxury travel memberships: Timeshares tend to be costly ranging anywhere from ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In most cases you are only permitted to vacation 1 week per...

Just good business sense! When you think about it, it makes no sense to let a satisfied renter get away without leveraging his satisfaction to your benefit. Why would you hesitate to go that extra little mile to make sure he returns to your home-away-from-home next year or in the near future and is willing to refer his friends, family, colleagues? Once you've put in the initial effort to attract that renter and then work hard to ensure his satisfaction, you've got a captive audience. Persuading him to return should take less effort than the first time around. And his personal recommendation to others is worth gold! In the business world, success depends on repeat customers and their referrals - the...

Tip 1 Get back to basics, and get things in the right order. First things first, define what it is you sell. Define it in simple, and clear, language (try writing it down on a sheet of paper). Remember, you're not a 'rental', you are a set of 'experiences'. So, think through what what experiences you provide to guests, and then go out and tell people. Tip 2 Think about the benefits people get coming to stay at your property. A Benefit is not a Feature. A Feature is 'a quiet location in the mountains' - a benefit is 'an escape from the tourists in clean fresh air where you can relax...' List all the benefits you have. Include problems you solve (where you are, ease of getting to, the uniqueness of...
