Making People Fall in Love With Your Hometown

Here’s a business solution for those work at home moms with extra space in their homes.

Bed and Breakfast!
The key is to make people curious about your hometown. Especially in the Philippines, you will always have people who want to take a break from city life. Not just families, mind you, but younger generations who are looking to splurge some or all of their hard earned call center agent-ing cash. Think the Cus Care agents from call centers earn little? Think again! These young ones can easily bag 700-1k USD every month just by talking on the phone to customers from the US and Canada.

Seeing local tourists flock to my hometown in La Union warms the heart. This summer, the number of tourists will rise again as surfing season comes.

I got this bed and breakfast idea from some websites offering B&B over the internet. At first, I thought, how can these places compete with the big hotels? Then it hit me, it’s the quaintness of the place, as well as the warmth of the family they will live with, that makes all the difference.

Sure, when you say B&B it usually means extended stay hotels or big hotels in urban destinations right? Usually, but not always. Some people would rather stay with real locals they can experience the culture with than in big hotels where they will be forced to stay in their rooms or within the hotel compound because they don’t have anyone to share the “experience” of being in the locality with.

If you can make people fall in love with your hometown through your description and through photos over the net, they will surely avail of your services when they visit the place. On that note, here’s a nice photo of La Union beach during summer.
