2008 Travel Trends from TWI

By | Travel | No Comments

 With the strengthening of the peso, now would be a good time to TRAVEL outside the Philippines….jan08flyer-jpeg.jpg
  Travel Warehouse Inc is pleased to present the 2008 travel trends!For the first quarter of 2008 expect low airfares to Asia such as Hongkong, Shanghai, Singapore and Bangkok, bigger carriers will compete with budget carriers in terms of rates. Single travel ( as many singles can afford to travel), medical tourism, heritage tours, free and easy tours, Asian cruises will be on high demand for this year.  Beijing is the center of tourism now, not only in Asia but the whole world as the summer Olympics is getting near.  If you plan to go on Beijing expect a higher rates and plan ahead of time.

As per Philippine tourism, destinations like Boracay, Bohol and Cebu will offer more choices in terms of hotel and resorts, as new investments are happening there.  Batanes is really promising but again rooms and flights here are not sufficient to accommodate the high demands. Please see the attached flier to get details of our latest promotions. 

Feel free to call us for details at (632) 6872490 to 92 or email us back. We will be glad to help you in planning your next trip!

Cebu Foodie

By | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

When you are in a resort, it’s important that the food is good so that you do not need to keep leaving the place just to eat.  At Shangri-la Mactan, be assured of beautiful restaurants with nice ambience and good food.Breakfast is included with the room and you can have it either at Tides, the coffeeshop or at Acqua, the Italian restaurant.  Since the hotel has 2 wings, they made it more convenient for the guests to go down to whichever restaurant is nearer to their rooms. BREAKFAST AT TIDES

 We walked all the way to Acqua even if it is in the farther wing because it is not as full as Tides. Breakfast buffet is almost the same as Tides, but we prefer a more quiet and stress free breakfast Tea of Spring seems to be the family’s favorite.  We had dinner……..429424095503_0_bg.jpg one of the favorite dishes..prawns wrapped in bacon with mayo…461425095503_0_bg.jpgand then lunch for the dimsum ACQUA, Italian Restaurant We were able to eat outside the hotel a few times….Always a must is to pass by Pipo’s at Ayala mall for an After 8 gelato!14.jpg23.jpg  3.jpg Tried out this japanese restaurant for the first time ….and enjoyed it! They had some interesting dishes which we never had in other japanese restaurants. 137830406503_0_bg.jpgAnd of course, SUNBURST!!!  Eversince we were kids and we  first went to Cebu, Sunburst is the chicken place to be.

Abaca boutique resort + restaurant

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

For now, Abaca is a restaurant but soon they will be having accomodations as well.  They have been operating the restaurant for a year already.  More power to Jason Hyatt, executive chef and owner.  Look for Glenn Ylanan, the manager, when you visit the place and he will definitely take care of you.  Hopefully we get to stay here one of these days.  We will definitely be back to try to other dishes.
