Batangas Escapade :))

-->Effectiveness of Tourism Promotional Strategies of La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan, Batangas. Well, that's our thesis title.And believe it or not, we've thought of it a million times whether we will pursue this study or not. We were about to give up on this one because we can't contact the resort but we thought of one last thing to reach them and if that doesn't work, then we'll change our study. But fortunately, that idea gave us hope. We went to Batangas and we finally made up our mind, to just continue with our study and enjoy it.

It was a long ride from QC to Batangas. Super! We were supposed to ride a bus going straight to San Juan but something came up that we needed to transfer to another bus going to Lipa. We also met Nanay Myrna at the bus terminal. She visited her daughter in Manila and was going back to Batangas that time. She accompanied us until San Juan and we parted when we had to ride a jeep going to Brg. Hugom. She talked a lot and gave us a lot of food. She was very kind. There was also an accident between two trucks that caused traffic. We arrived at La Luz passed 3pm and the people there were really approachable.

 

We interviewed Sir Serge, Assistant Manager of La Luz Beach Resort. He was funny and even joked with us. We got the information we needed and they let us walked around the beach. We took pictures but just few because we thought that it was prohibited since we were not guests. We planned on going back there on summer to conduct our survey and by that time we will also be guests.

We stayed there for about half an hour and went back to the bus terminal after. It was another long ride from La Luz to the terminal. And i really believed that our way back was a bit longer than our way going there. Even if it's impossible, i still believed. Hahaha xD Honestly it was longer! :D We rode Jam Transit going back to Manila and it has no wifi unlike Alps that we rode going there. Before boarding, we ate first and bought pasalubongs :)) It was another long ride and we even fell asleep. We reached Cubao around 10pm and we had to walk back because the bus driver didn't drop us to the terminal where we were supposed to get off.

I took fx going home and I was really tired. It was very tiring but exciting day. We took a break from our long week and it was nice to be on a different place even just for a while. I enjoyed it and our thesis is finally done. We did great. Now all we have to do is to prepare for our defense. Good luck to us! :D
