New York, United States - May 14, 2022 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

The Importance of Current Tourism Trends to Your Business.



As a consequence of COVID, governments must now apply travel restrictions. It seems unlikely that travel will return to normal prior to the arrival of Covid. Despite the travel limitations, travelers are desperately searching for activities and locations to visit.

As a result of the pandemic, many individuals have an urgent need for a vacation and are exploring alternative travel ideas. If you've always focused on business customers, it's a good idea to reconsider your company approach.

During this period, your marketing messages and even the distribution channels you use to generate sales will need to be modified.


Make the switch from international to domestic travel.

Many firms are shifting their focus away from overseas clients in order to cater to the local market in light of the pandemic's impact on the tourism industry. 

Customized guided tours allow locals to explore their own nations.

There is no need to give up on overseas customers, but you may have to rethink your marketing strategy.

Your marketing pitch must include the words "safety and hygiene."

From cruise ships to hotels to restaurants to bars, COVID has made safety and hygienic standards a top priority since its inception. 

Tourism trends relating to this include greater cleaning, socially isolated seating, hand gel, and required masks in some locations.

Travel organizations must clearly communicate their rules on hygiene and safety, as well as the actions they are taking to protect the safety of their customers, in order to attract visitors.

In order to ease people's concerns about COVID, it will be necessary to persuade them that they are not at risk.

The new hipster in town is the outdoor traveler.

Traveling close to home is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. 

discovering the lesser-known gems that make one's own country so special and unique. 

Vacations to national parks are very popular in the United States. 

Devon has become a popular destination for British tourists seeking yoga and surfing vacations. 

The popularity of Australia's Queensland state as a vacation destination is rising.

Many people are eager to get back outside and participate in nature after a lengthy period of lockdown.

Stacking vacations to different countries.

Travel is a must-have for the millennial generation. 

Due to the fact that many tours allow free cancellations up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure date, many young travelers are opting for lengthier holidays that involve multiple journeys back to back. 

Taking advantage of this, you can improve your bookings by offering free cancellations for your excursions.

Traveling to new places around the world with a group of strangers

Many people's perspectives shift when a global event has such a profound influence on so many people. 

They are delighted by the idea of traveling on short guided tours with other tourists from all around the world after experiencing boredom and isolation. 

Traveling socially has never been more popular, as seen by the long waitlists for guided tours in major cities and the ease with which tickets can be reserved weeks or even months in advance.


“Business-cation”- The distinction between work and vacation travel is becoming increasingly blurred.

Because of the pandemic's impact, it's already difficult to tell where work ends and personal life begins. 

The distinction between business and pleasure travel is becoming increasingly hazy. 

Businesses need to consider how they can better serve the growing number of "business-leisure" travelers who work and play at the same time while on the road.

How tour operators and businesses in the travel industry can adapt.

In order to take advantage of the next travel trends, consider offering guided tours in a social travel context in addition to safety and cleanliness. 

Travelers are increasingly expecting free cancellations for reservations made up to 24 hours in advance when reserving outdoor experiences.

How to put together a wardrobe for cool Baguio or cold Japan

How to put together a wardrobe for cool Baguio or cold Japan

Oct 16, 2026

The idea of layering is a concept foreign to many Filipinos. That is, until they go on their first overseas trip and realize how it helps one deal with the sudden drop in temperature. A light jacket is fine for Baguio-like weather but sometimes, only layers can help ward off the chill. In the past, one had to go to different stores or, in a bind, borrow a trench coat, puffer or quilted jacket from someone with a similar build. Accessories like mittens, warm gloves and tightly knitted bonnets were also hard to come by unless one was open to buying from a shop selling overruns or previously owned pieces. The arrival of the Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo in 2012 helped take out the guesswork out of layering. It sold many of the elements needed for a trip to a cold-weather country from thermal underwear and heat-retaining pullovers to down jackets and fleece coats. Now, tech-savvy customers can even put together a virtual wardrobe by clicking on the Uniqlo app (uniqlo.com). By typing in the country they plan to visit and the month they will be there, the app can suggest pieces designed to work together. At the flagship store in Glorietta, there is a large touchscreen where visitors can try out the app for themselves. It reminded one of that opening scene in the 1995 movie “Clueless” where Cher (Alicia Silverstone) picks out her OOTD, the now iconic plaid yellow jacket with matching mini skirt. While the process of putting on and doffing the different components during the day can get tedious, trying them on at the store can be a fun experience. This year, their full-zip fleece jackets come in classic solids with raglan sleeves or color-blocked such as black and gray, and brown and beige. It’s a piece worth considering as the brand has been making and updating this particular line since 1994. They also have pile-lined fleece blousons, button-up pullovers, oversized hoodies and a range of down jackets in varying weights and hefts. One reads from their in-store magazine LifeWear that the down and feathers used in their products is “sourced exclusively from waterfowl raised under strict ethical standards.” For their fall-winter 2026 collection, Uniqlo only used feathers from three Chinese facilities. According to the article, “China produces about 40,000 tons of down yearly yet only the top 10 percent of this satisfies Uniqlo’s exacting standards.” The new collection from Uniqlo is available in stores and online. Hoodie day This weekend, Gap is celebrating the hoodie with its Gap Hoodie Day. To mark the occasion, the brand launched a limited edition reversible logo hoodie. Featuring two wearable looks in one, and crafted from Gap’s heavyweight structured fleece, the special-edition style offers a fresh take on a classic icon. Gap collaborated with Filipino artist Denzel Chang to create limited-edition iron-on patches that can be added to the hoodie as a means of expression. Also this weekend, the brand has a buy one, get one promo on all Gap logo styles. All items emblazoned with the Gap logo are included in the promo. Online shoppers (gap.com.ph) can also avail themselves of a 40 percent discount on logo items like the t-shirts, joggers and even the hoodies.

Skin doc brings science, human stories to reality TV series

Skin doc brings science, human stories to reality TV series

Dermatologist Dr. Kei George Rebolledo wants viewers to look beyond flawless skin and dramatic before-and-after photos in “Kutis Reveal,” a new reality series that follows 12 Filipinos undergoing dermatological treatments while confronting the personal challenges linked to their skin conditions.  The 13-episode series, hosted by Rebolledo, founder of Kutis by Kei, documents the participants’ consultations, treatments, healing and transformations, highlighting the medical process and emotional experiences behind their journeys.  “Kutis Reveal” premieres today, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. on Bilyonaryo News Channel, Channel 31, and airs every Saturday thereafter.  During the press conference, he said he developed the program to present a more realistic view of dermatology.  “I wanted to combine the medical side with the human side of dermatology. I am very firm about setting expectations because skin conditions cannot simply be cured overnight. This is not a miracle show. This is a real reality show, and we do not make promises just to attract attention or go viral,” Rebolledo said.  Unlike programs that focus mainly on dramatic makeovers, “Kutis Reveal” shows the consultations and procedures leading to each participant’s results. The series also explains why certain treatments are recommended and what patients can realistically expect within the program’s treatment period.  Rebolledo said he was careful about selecting participants whose conditions could show measurable improvement within the production schedule. He explained that some concerns, such as active acne, may respond more quickly to treatment than scars, which can be more difficult to address.  “For acne scars, for instance, I cannot promise that they will disappear completely. I give them a realistic range of improvement based on their condition and the time we have. As doctors, we are not miracle workers. We have to be honest about what we can do and what the patient should expect,” he said.  One of the participants is a stage 4 breast cancer survivor who developed scars associated with chemotherapy treatments. Rebolledo said he explained during the consultation that the scars could improve but would not be completely removed.  The 12 participants were selected from approximately 200 people who auditioned that included cancer survivors, overseas Filipino workers, domestic abuse survivors, an LGBT advocate, and individuals dealing with mental health challenges.  Their skin concerns include acne, acne scars, melasma, psoriasis, pigmentation and other forms of scarring. Rebolledo said the show was also intended to challenge the perception that dermatological care is primarily for celebrities or people seeking aesthetic enhancements.  “There are ordinary people who need a dermatologist because their skin condition is affecting their lives. What we are treating is not just the skin. We are also helping these patients regain their confidence,” he said.  The filming also became an emotional experience for Rebolledo, who said he did not expect to be so affected by the participants’ stories. He recalled crying several times during production, particularly while witnessing their transformations.  Rebolledo said he personally oversees the training of the clinic’s doctors to ensure they follow standardized treatment protocols and provide appropriate care for each participant.  “I am very particular when it comes to choosing and training my doctors. I want to make sure that we have standardized protocols across our clinics because consistency is important in treating our patients,” he said.  The procedures featured in the program include LDM by Elogio, Rejuran, Blaumann Laser and Sylfirm X, administered through CurJet and Lenisna, depending on each participant’s condition and needs.  Through “Kutis Reveal,” Rebolledo hopes to make dermatological education more accessible while encouraging viewers to approach skin concerns with realistic expectations and seek appropriate medical advice.  “I want people to realize that their skin condition does not have to define their future,” he said.

A jewelry gift with a story of gratitude at Maddox

A jewelry gift with a story of gratitude at Maddox

Oct 16, 2026

A search for a jewelry gift became a conversation about sacrifice and second chances when award-winning actress Katherine Luna visited Maddox Jewelry and spoke with its owner, Charo Cordial.
 Luna wanted something for her eldest child, whose care had sustained her through four years in prison because of drugs. As she explained the reason behind the gift, in an interview also shared on the boutique’s popular YouTube channel, she shared the family story that brought her to the store. The actress had won Best Actress for “Babae sa Breakwater,” her first leading role. But amid family and relationship problems, she began using drugs, and her career and personal life unraveled. Her eldest was only 14 when she was imprisoned. With no relatives helping her, her children took responsibility for her care. “When I was imprisoned, my children were the ones who looked after me, especially my eldest,” she told Cordial. Every week, her eldest traveled from Manila to Montalban to bring her food. Luna’s savings lasted until her final year in prison. As her eldest approached 18, the child asked permission to work. Their support helped her endure the absence of relatives, although she said she held no resentment. “I still understand them.” Luna also recalled limited food rations inside prison, where inmates waited to see whether anything would be left. Yet she found opportunities to rebuild. She was entrusted with duties in the kitchen and store. She completed high school and pursued vocational training, including dressmaking. Encouragement from people who believed in her helped restore her hope. “That was when I began to feel alive again. That was when I found hope,” she said. Her eldest also provided for the family during a period when Luna was recovering from surgery and had no work. When money ran short, the child pawned two gold necklaces. They were never redeemed. “It was for us, for the family,” Luna said. Now finding work again, Luna visited Maddox Jewelry to choose a gift for her eldest — her chance to give jewelry back to the child who had once parted with it for their sake. At Maddox, those memories gave the gift a meaning beyond adornment. Luna’s conversation with Cordial turned a visit to choose jewelry into a personal account of a mother’s gratitude — for a child who had given up gold but never given up on her.
