New Ideas from the Bangkok Travel

The Ateneo Graduate School of Business Advantage

I simply posted the pictures of the Bangkok experience.  But I think without going explicit, the posts will be useless.  

Here are some ideas proposed regarding the Bangkok travel:

Let us like the rest of the world focus on looking at the world as the market;  not only teh local buyers or tourists, or simply be resellers of China HK or US products;  let us market to tourists and the world.

For my hometown:

l.  Let us make a lakeview project where there are attractions.  I think we have started.  The idea is not for art sake alone but to give employment or permanent place where our locals can sell their goods:

      l.  Restaurant,

      2.  Food cart  vendors,

       3.  Art galleries

       4.  Selling of artefacts

2.   Tie up casino tours with:

       l.  High way girlie bars

      2.  Food trips to well known restaurants

     3.  Souvenir seller

3.  Trips to art galleries:

    l.  Have other food and artefact vendors

    2.  Tie up trips with lunch or snacks so that we take in more money from the tours

    3.  Charge parking from the bus or establish parking lots on empty lots:  50/50 with munisipyo

FOOD VENDORS: (Whether static or cart informal vendors)   

    l.  Practice hygiene  (clean always)

    2.  Teach them good food presentation and processing of food:

            For fresh fruits:   pack in crushed ice

                                       peel show the fruit in sealed glass case (not plastic only)

                                       teach the vendor artistic cutting slicing for more value added

           For instance:     buko vendors:     remove the husks before hand, pack in crushed ice

 Food Stalls at C6 Near Napindan Channel:   Variety of Good Food, but is Hygiene OK?

                      Nice Lake View, how about food presentation?

Malls:

l.   Let a thousand flowers blow.  Encourage more vendors

2.  Give priority to those who will market new and local products;  lower tiers ang  traders HK or Bangkok resellers.

3.  Encourage those who can sell locally and to the world

4.  Encourage them on good merchandising:   colors, being attractive; use aida

Cultural shows:

Oftentimes, malls hire the Philharmonics on special occasions or to attract customers

Or cultural shows are done by Cultural Center for Manilas 500/

Let is tie up our cultural shows with tourists or packages. and buffet.

Let us not have cultural shows for art alone

I think in my hometown, considering the number of bands and galleries, it can have a project for a small cultural center where our local talents can show their stuff.

Our dancers and singers should not be for Japan only

Lakeview cruise.

We can not have  river cruise in Napindan or Pasig River because the river sucks;   but we can have one like in Loboc or Bangkok;  the lakeview of Cardona and Binangonan, Angono and Taytay.  The fishpens will not be affected.  But many of our seafarers and cooks may prefer working there rather than ocean going cruise that sink.

Will DOST, DOT, DTI guys read this (paging Usec Tito Panlillo)  Since they are geniuses, they will be too good to bend down to this blogs)

Since these are unsolicited and the ideas of the guys, no one will read or listen?
