Ayala Land breaks ground on Palawan ecotourism development

AYALA Land and subsidiary Ten Knots Group have broken ground on their Lio resort development in El Nido in Palawan, which has been positioned as an ecologically sustainable tourism destination.


The 100-hectare project is located in Barangay Villa Libertad, El Nido, Palawan, within Bacuit Bay on northern Palawan Province’s west coast, facing the beach on one side and mountains on the other.

In the first phase of development, a township consisting of bed and breakfasts, resorts, shops, and dining establishments will come up on a site of 25 hectares.

Lio will feature hotels, resorts, tourism and commercial establishments, and residential communities blending with El Nido’s natural landscape when completed.

According to Ayala Land president, Antonino T Aquino, Lio is Ayala’s “first venture into tourism estate development and is the first master-planned ecotourism estate in the Philippines”.


He also said that Lio, “unlike other tourism destinations in the country, the entire property is planned, constructed and managed by one developer with sustainability in mind”.

AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts president, Junie Jalandoni, also added: “Lio will further support the thriving tourism industry in the country, and generate employment and livelihood opportunities for the local community. The development will surely boost El Nido’s reputation as a world-class tourist destination.”

Where To Find The Best Beach Resorts In The Philippines

The Philippines is known for its amazing and beautiful beaches. Being a country consisting of 7000+ islands does have its benefits – hundreds and thousands of naturally beautiful beaches. While many of the beaches in the Philippines have been developed into world-class resorts, there are still a lot that have been untouched or at least undeveloped.

The result of this abundance in seaside areas is a healthy dose of new beach resorts to explore every year. There are some really popular destinations which are frequented by both foreign and local tourists especially during the peak summer months. If you are looking for the best resorts in the Philippines, many of them can be found in the locations listed below. 
  • Boracay. Although some would contest this, it is undeniable that Boracay has one of the best white sand beaches in the world. An island on the northern part of Panay, the name Boracay has long been a common and well-known area for many beach addicts. It is a popular destination for many young beachgoers because of the numerous establishments that offer the part life at night. If you want the beach, sand, and sun, all with the happening night life that could compare to the best clubs in Metro Manila, then Boracay is the place to go to.

  • Palawan. If you are looking for majestic nature along with refreshing and wonderful beaches, there are many resorts in Palawan that provide a secluded and hidden beach feel. Palawan is notable for many of its locations such as Coron, Puerto Prinsesa, and El Nido. It is home to some of the most luxurious beach resorts you can find in the Philippines which are known not just to locals but also to popular international celebrities and personalities. However, do not expect the beach night life that you can find in Boracay. Palawan does not cater to this kind of crowd; what it does cater to are those who are after the pureness of beach, sea, sand, sun, and nature.

  • Bohol. Found in the Visayan region, Bohol is also lined with many spectacular white sand beaches. In fact, some people would boldly compare the sand here to the popular sands of Boracay. Also, Bohol offers additional attractions such as the opportunity to watch some whale sharks, locally known as butandings. From Panglao island in Bohol, many beach tourists head over to Oslob in Cebu for the opportunity to go snorkeling amidst juvenile (but still bigger than the boat you will be riding on) whale sharks.

What To Look For In An Office Space

Getting an office space is not as easy as renting a house. It calls for much more rigid considerations and more intricate planning, especially for a startup group or business. In fact, here are some of the most important things to consider when looking for an office space.

Just enough space
Although it is quite attractive to occupy an office with more than adequate space in Makati City, businessmen should understand the importance of getting just enough office space. You see, not only is the cost of a bigger space obviously higher, but the maintenance is also going to be an additional headache.

While it is true that you should also consider the company’s possible room for expansion and growth, you should not overestimate the required space. Development and growth takes time after all so you don’t need to pay extra for a space you won’t be able to utilize yet.

Correct layout
If your company or business involves a special service, program, or action that requires a more specialized layout, then consider this particular factor in mind when looking for an office space. Putting up dividers or walls or doing major renovations will add unnecessary expenses to the rent. Not to mention, it might not even be permitted by the less or or landlord in the first place.

Accessible Location
A good office space in Makati or anywhere else provides convenience and easy access not only to the employees or workers in the company, but it should also provide convenience to would-be clients. Don’t just look for an office space in random locations. Choose an accessible location that is preferably close to your clients.

For example, if your business offers educational services or materials, then it would be suitable to rent an office space near universities or schools. Not only will the school administrators easily find you, but it would be fast and easy for your people to get in contact with them.

Have conference rooms or meeting rooms
Business companies, regardless of size, require a place to conduct meetings or conferences. It would be convenient if the office space you are renting could accommodate one. This makes it easy to conduct emergency gatherings and eliminates the need for renting outside venues.

Other amenities
You should also consider other amenities that come with the space you are renting – gyms, toilets, pools, and parking space. Parking space, in particular, is a grave concern because it leaves a lasting impression not only to your employees but more importantly to your clients.
