RedDoorz Hotels Gives You Some Smart Hacks for Your Next Trip
Data from the Philippine Travel Survey Report 2020 showed that seven out of 10 Filipinos are keen to travel this year albeit with health and safety remaining a primary concern Domestic travel will play a big role in the recovery of Philippine Tourism. Furthermore, the report said that travelers plan to travel close to home with families, friends, and co-workers in pairs and up to 5 persons. They prefer to use online and digital channels for convenience and reduced contact, budget around P1,000 to P2,000 per person per day for a trip length of 2 to 3 days.

According to the Agoda Travel in 2021 Survey, meanwhile, domestic travel will take off with Pinoys opting for short and sweet trips. F & B benefits, early check-ins and late check-outs are preferred while deals and discoverability drive the next wave of trip bookings. Thus, giving health and safety, budget and convenience giving due consideration, here are some smart travel tips from RedDoorz Hotels:
- Research. Doing initial research about your travel destination—including attractions, must-try dishes, and basic health protocols—will help assure a seamless journey.
- Travel light. Try to bring as little as you can and plan your OOTDs wisely, so a smaller luggage will suffice. You don’t need to bring fancy shoes or bling if you’re heading for a hike.
- Check the weather. The weather could make or break your vacation, so be sure to check forecasts days before your trip. Plan your outfits accordingly and bring that extra windbreaker or a large hat to protect you from the cold or the heat.
- Be prepared for any emergency. Bring extra cash for meals in case your flight gets delayed and pack a first aid kit or needed medication.
- Follow your passion. If you’re a foodie, sign up for walking food tours or go during food festivals. You might want to ask about popular local fare and have a taste of it for the first time. Are you a photographer? Research about the most popular and authentic places, architecture, landscapes, and views so you could have subjects to add to your portfolio.
- Seek out the road less traveled. Don’t limit yourself to popular tourist destinations. Go off the beaten path where you could discover quaint neighborhood hangout spots, a hidden stretch with artistic murals along back streets, or factories that offer unique handmade souvenirs. Be audacious! Explore!
- Design a budget and stick to it. Traveling within a budget does not necessarily mean having an austere travel experience. If you have travel rewards program, use it. Choose your activities wisely, including meals, ridesharing, and group discounts. Look for budget-friendly flights.
- Choose smart, budget-friendly yet decent accommodation. No one wants to pay a fortune for accommodations. Book stay at any of the over 400 RedDoorz properties located nationwide and key cities, Manila, Batangas, Cebu, Tacloban and Boracay. Each RedDoorz room is fully-equipped for a comfortable stay, with standardized amenities including free wifi, clean spotless rooms, comfy beds, TV and daily mineral water.

The Airbnb 2022 Summer Release: Introducing a new Airbnb for a new world of travel
Last year, Airbnb released 150 upgrades to improve every aspect of the Airbnb service. Today, Airbnb launches the biggest change to the platform in a decade including:
- Airbnb Categories – A new way to search that makes it easy to discover millions of homes you never knew existed.
- Split Stays – An innovative feature that provides more options for longer stays by splitting your trip between two homes.
- AirCover for guests – The most comprehensive protection in travel, included for free with every stay.
“The way people travel has changed forever. That’s why we’re introducing the biggest change to Airbnb in a decade,” said Brian Chesky, CEO and Co-Founder of Airbnb. “First, people are more flexible about where they live and work, so we’ve designed a new way to search with Airbnb Categories. Second, people are taking longer trips, so we created Split Stays to give you more options by splitting your trip between two homes. And third, we’re introducing AirCover for guests, giving you the confidence to book knowing that Airbnb’s got your back.”

Airbnb Stays in Silang, Calabarzon and Subic, Central Luzon

These platform updates come hot on the heels of the Philippines’ travel rebound, as travel interest amongst international and domestic guests continue to surge since the country’s international reopening on 1 April. The topmost trending summer destinations in the Philippines, ranked by searches by Philippine guests on Airbnb in Q1 2022, include:
1. Angeles, Central Luzon
2. Subic, Central Luzon
3. Mabalacat, Central Luzon
4. Antipolo, Calabarzon
5. Calatagan, Calabarzon
6. Cagayan De Oro City, Northern Mindanao
7. Panglao, Central Visayas
8. San Juan, Calabarzon
9. Bacolod, Western Visayas
10. Silang, Calabarzon
Guests are also exploring more destinations than ever before, and more than 60 new cities and towns across the Philippines have welcomed their very first Airbnb guests since the pandemic. Among these are lesser-known, off-the-beaten tourist spots including nature-based destinations Doña Remedios Trinidad in Bulacan and Bato in Leyte.

Airbnb Categories

Millions of people are now more flexible about where they live and work. But travel search has been the same for 25 years — you enter a location and dates into a search box. Most of us can only think of a few dozen cities to type into the search box, but there are Airbnbs in 100,000 towns and cities around the world.

That’s why Airbnb is introducing a new way to search designed around Airbnb Categories, with 56 new categories that organize homes based on their style, location, or proximity to a travel activity. When you search for a destination, your search results are also organized by categories that are relevant to that destination, making it easy to discover millions of unique homes you never knew existed. As you view different categories, the map intelligently zooms in to show you where the homes are located.

To create Airbnb Categories, Airbnb evaluated millions of homes using machine learning to analyze titles, written descriptions, photo captions, structured data from Hosts, and reviews from guests. Members of Airbnb’s curation team review listings and hand-pick featured photos — so if a listing is in the Amazing Pools Category, the first photo shows a pool. Then, each category goes through a final check to help ensure consistency and photo quality.

The 56 Airbnb Categories include more than 4 million unique homes that are made possible by Airbnb’s Hosts all around the world. Airbnb Categories organize homes by what makes them unique, which helps people discover places they wouldn’t have otherwise found. This can help alleviate over-tourism by redistributing travel to new locations beyond the same popular destinations.

Split Stays

In the last three months, nearly half of the nights booked on Airbnb were for trips of a week or more. That’s why Airbnb created Split Stays, an innovative feature that splits your trip between two homes. With Split Stays, you will typically see around 40% more listings when searching for longer stays.

When searching a specific destination, Split Stays automatically appear in your search results. They also appear within 14 categories — including Camping, National Parks, Skiing, and Surfing — to inspire you to stay in two destinations as part of a longer trip.

When viewing Split Stays on a map, an animated line visually connects the two homes to show you the distance between them and the sequence of the stays. Once you select a Split Stay, you’re guided through an easy-to-use interface to book each stay, one home at a time.

Split Stays in one category

AirCover for Guests

After staying home for over two years, millions of Filipinos are traveling again for the first time since the start of the pandemic. That’s why Airbnb created AirCover, the most comprehensive protection in travel. AirCover is always included and always free, and it represents the biggest upgrade to Airbnb customer service in a decade.

With AirCover, you’re covered by four protections every time you stay on Airbnb:
- Booking Protection Guarantee – In the unlikely event a Host needs to cancel your booking within 30 days of check-in, we’ll find you a similar or better home, or we’ll refund you.
- Check-In Guarantee – If you can’t check into your home and the Host cannot resolve the issue, we’ll find you a similar or better home for the length of your original stay, or we’ll refund you.
- Get-What-You-Booked Guarantee – If at any time during your stay you find your listing isn’t as advertised — for example, the refrigerator stops working and your Host can’t easily fix it, or there are fewer bedrooms than listed — you’ll have three days to report it and we’ll find you a similar or better home, or we’ll refund you.
- 24-hour Safety Line – If you ever feel unsafe, you’ll get priority access to specially-trained safety agents, day or night.
AirCover has been designed directly into the Airbnb app and website, making it easy for you to contact an agent and resolve issues quickly. We created a team of specially trained agents for last-minute rebooking assistance. We also significantly expanded our 24-hour safety line to cover 16 languages.

Available starting this week

Airbnb’s redesigned app and website with over 50 categories of unique homes, the innovative Split Stays feature, and AirCover for guests will be available worldwide this week.

We are proud of our colleagues who continue to constantly provide our guests with the luxury and signature experiences the Melco brand has been known for.”

FTG created the original Five-Star rating system, and is the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, and spas.
