Magic Zones
Magic zone is like being in the zone as a basketball player.
In particular, I am talking about projects that cannot be revealed as of the
moment, increased number of leaders in the organization, and a burgeoning
industry.
But life is not that easy. There are a lot of trials along
the way and for me these trials are the secret sauce for the success you reap.
Event management in the Philippines in particular Business
Events Management has a long way to go and for now I feel our group has the
razor sharp edge to move forward and lead the pack in this niche that we
created.
Insatiable
Appetite for Event Management Challenge
This is the key I guess, to be on your toes and to never be
relaxed event success after success comes your way. In addition, always
dedicate and create projects that will have impact your country and the
society.
The learning curve is still big and the room to fill bigger
but for now THANKFULLNESS is the
word that occupies my heart – you cannot helped but be thankful upon realizing
that event management is you and you are the event management.
Zen occurs like watching the lotus in the still water.

season when tourists pour in droves to experience the country’s unique
Christmas celebration.
The
sale, involving also the destinations for teambuilding and extreme adventures,
is seen to similarly attract hordes of corporate clients for their human
resource development requirements and market engagement activities.
“Shoppers
are likewise expected to join the massive influx of visitors looking for unique
Christmas gifts that come in the form of packaged tours and travel souvenirs,
thus turning the entire ITF into a fun-filled yuletide festivity for families
and friends,” said chief executive officer Mitch Ballesteros of festival

have two full days of fun and amazing travel deals,” Ballesteros added.
Leading
the global exhibitors in the ITF are executives of worldwide service provider

Authority.
Among
the hundreds of local exhibitors are tourism destinations in Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao – from as far north as the Cagayan Valley to as far south as General
Santos City and as far west as the island province of Palawan.
“It
will be a complete two-way tourism traffic, with both inbound and outbound
tourism players doing brisk business from both ends of the supply chain and all
the segments in between,” Ballesteros pointed out.
“They

iPlus Intelligent Network, Inc., the
managed I.T. services firm of ePLDT led a host of thought leaders in the first
ever Data Conference at the Crowne Plaza in Ortigas Center.
A first leg of what is envisioned as an annual
gathering of the Philippine business sectors’ thought leaders, iPlus’ workforce
and management integration systems head, Mr. Junie Aguirre, familiarized a
diverse crowd of executives from various industries with the concept of big
data and the relevance of the burgeoning aptitude to curate, analyze, store,
share, and use large chunks of data to achieve business goals in the
information age.
As the integration of business with
information technology continues to flourish, Aguirre said that “data is
becoming a key basis of competition underpinning new waves of productivity,
growth such as hard assets and human capital, innovation and modern economic
activity.” In the various aspects of an organization’s operations, data
requires analytics for any value to be driven out of it. Telecom companies need
sufficient data to gauge mobile phone usage of their consumers and ultimately
map out strategies that could give their subscribers improved or better user
experience.
With technology and the dizzying changes
that force companies how they do business, knowing how to accurately capture,
store, analyze, and share definitely enables operational efficiency and
flexibility to face imminent challenges.

Being blessed
with the country’s longest yuletide season or the
fun in the Philippines gaining global recognition, but all roads at this early
seem to lead to the SMX Convention Center Manila for an International Travel
Festival come December 10-11.
And
International Travel Festival is
certain to emerge, with worldwide service provider Amadeus and the British,
Turkish and European chambers of commerce setting the pace for the influx of
other Manila and foreign-based global exhibitors in the event.
This
Christmas gathering of global tourism players is matched only by the
convergence of their similarly increasing number of local counterparts at the
festival led by the various regional
offices of the Department of Tourism nationwide and its attached agency Tourism
Infrastructure Enterprise Zone Authority.
The
local exhibitors include tourism destinations in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao –
from Cagayan Valley in the North to Palawan in the West, all the way to South
Cotabato, Cotabato City, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani and General Santos City in
Region 12.
Thus,
the nation is bound to see a vast cosmopolitan crowd whirling around the scene
of the 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.”
“ So expect both inbound and outbound
tourism destinations featured in the ITF,” said chief executive officer
Mitch Ballesteros of expo organizer Exlink Events.
“The fast growing registration of
participants in the festival affirms the global tourism industry’s increasing momentum
for sustained growth, with vacationing OFWs (overseas Filipinos worldwide) adding
impetus to the phenomenon,” Ballesteros said.
Practically
promoting a genuine two-way tourism traffic, the ITF is seen to contribute
substantially to the continued rise in global tourism, now reportedly worth an
estimated $1.15 trillion from a yearly revenue hike of 1.5 percent over the
past five years.
Ballesteros
said the outbound trips of foreign-based international airlines flying
Filipinos to overseas destinations would also have a beneficial impact on
inbound travel since they would have to promote the Philippines in their home
countries to be able fill up airline seats on their return flights.
“Thus, the net effect of brisk inbound and
outbound travel is a thriving tourism industry that gets a boost from both
ends,” Ballesteros earlier explained, citing tourism’s total contribution of
$6.3 trillion and 255 million jobs to the global economy in 2011 alone.”
To participate
mostly in the ITF, therefore, are numerous exhibitors involved in both inbound
and outbound businesses such as airlines, international hotel and resort chains,
travel agencies, tour operators, MICE (meetings, incentive travel, conventions
and events) organizers, shopping malls and global retail brands.
Also expected to
participate in the ITF on December 10 to 11 are 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.
More information about the ITF can be obtained from Exlink Events (tel: 632 6433887; mobile: 0920 9242532, 0920 9814376; email: info@exlinkevents.com; or visit www.exlinkevents.com).
