𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵

Despite the pandemic, the Tourism and Hospitality Industry aims to survive in this time of crisis. Products and services are the most important thing that accommodation establishment should prioritize to satisfy guests and the opportunity to earn profit. Since the pandemic occurred, hundreds of accommodation establishments struggled from the total loss because of restrictions and customer protection and safety. There were two particular learnings from the clips shown on the first day of the virtual tour.

First, this virtual tour showcased different tourist destinations and luxurious hotels in Boracay. This destination has a lot of famous tourist destinations in the Philippines and is considered a garbage-free island where guests can enjoy even in the middle of a pandemic. I was amazed at how these hotels -- Savoy Hotel Boracay and Belmont Hotel Boracay -- applied safety measures and protocols to ensure that their facilities and amenities were safe for their guests.

Second, it focuses on positivity and security within the workplace. According to Ms. Dianne Lorenzo, she believed that the tourism industry is full of positive and resilient people, and together, we can overcome the pandemic. Hotels may have a lot of things to cope with but it will never hinder each accommodation establishment to offer the same service as they provide before. Most of the hotels utilize security, safety, and quality to show that they can exceed or meet each guest’s expectations.

In the final analysis, We have to be resilient, persevere, and positive. As we possess those three characteristics, it assures us that we can conquer every struggle in life, just like what the tourism and hospitality industry wanted to show us. This pandemic caused solemn problems to one individual but after this virtual tour, why do we need to worry too much? It has shown in the video clips that the accommodation establishment ensures safety for every guest, and each day, they keep moving forward and ensure that no one shall be left behind. There is nothing to be scared of regarding our safety because they promised to prioritize each safety, security, and health of their beloved guests.
