Philippine Travel and www.hoparound.net

If you like traveling around the Philippines or if you are involved in the travel business or sector on a small to medium-scale, you may want to check out this site: www.hoparound.net. Hoparound is a website that seeks to promote microentrepreneurs here in the country.

If you are a tourist, on the other hand, needing specific services (e.g. lodging, transportation), you can also check this site out as service providers are arranged by location. You will also be able to get more information about places that you can visit.

The site is also organized by way of areas of interest -- for example, wellness or mountain climbing or the like.

I heard about the site from one of the organizers, Philip Camara, months ago. I visited the site recently and it is good to see that slowly, they are building up their database of service providers. Some locations, though, have more information, than others at this time. Anyway, that gives you a good reason to check out the site every now and then.
