FAM Tour Sagada and Banawe

While most of the members of the Skipping Stones Adventours are preparing for their trip back to Manila, Ms. Rei Ann also rushed for some tasks for a familiarization tour for Joyous Educational Tours and Services of Sagada and Banawe.

With the assistance of an associate, Mr. Cubian, the three (3) Ms. Daisy, Richard and Ms. Rei Ann was able to catch up the bus towards Bontoc and with was met by Lopus at Dantay, an intersection towards Bontoc and Sagada.

The first and foremost thought of the night was to eat and sleep and the first choice is the Rock Cafe Inn being managed by Bang.

The next day was an early tour and breakfast and ocular inspection of the log cabin, the pottery, the yogurt house, the entrance of the cave, of Saint Joseph and the best stop was the museum. Afterwards we were brought and with courtesy of the owner of the van, to Bontoc and had lunch at the Kambingan along the road. 1:30 the trip towards Banawe began.

Banawe Inn's caretaker Ms. Tessi is always warm to guests likewise to tour operators. She assisted and gave tips and gave the name of the past contacts of Ms. Rei Ann. The next destination is the police station and then the Banawe Hotel. Fortunately the Florida bus had center spaces where the three (3) was able to make themselves comfortable on the way to Novaliches, Manila.

FAM tours are usually one of the best times in preparing for guests and clients. It challenges ones imagination, creativity and the urge to feel like on a vacation... Hey Tour Operator, you are at work... wake up!

FAM Tours Batch 2

The second batch of Tour Operators came to Baguio on May 11, 2010 just after the elections. They travelled from Laguna and from Manila at about 12 midnight and reached Baguio City whereby Ms. Rei Ann met them before the welcome arch of Baguio City, near police station 5.

They were excited to know that we are allowed to enter the Mansion House grounds and get to see other places.

The tour operators was also met by a representative from the Benguet State University and was brought around the Food Processing, Bakery, the BSU new Marketing area where a clean restroom and the giant strawberry statue stands, likewise a tour in the processing (vegetable) plant is also done. The tour operators also had a chance of buying and picking strawberries at the schools' farm.

Next is a tour at the Nature Park whereby the tour operators got to see the animal park and the coffee bean plantation. What was not visited in the compound is the camping facilities which have the cabins and bonfire facilities.

Next is a visit to Tam-awan Village and then Easter School Weaving Rooms. We also visited the Loakan Airport but did not climb the tower because it is not yet coordinated and the shopping and the hiking sored the feet.

The Kennon Road View Point was also visited and then straight to downtown towards the hotel.

The one and half day of the stay of the tour operators was very exciting because they were able to give feedbacks and tips for us to improve our tours and services for their clients.

Additional documentations and promotional materials are needed for a clearer Baguio Tour...

Thank you for visiting... Skipping Stone Adventour members
