Here's a Great Gift Idea that Helps Others...



When you give someone a Kiva Card, you give them the opportunity to help other people achieve their dreams.
Available in intervals of $25, Kiva Cards enable recipients to make loans of their own to borrowers of their choice.
And when these borrowers repay, they get the money back to support even more people again and again!

Find all the info you need at kiva.org/gifts

Help Kiva by tweeting! Just this simple tweet makes a big difference:

Philippines Promoted at World Travel Market Once Again...

What a great day we had yesterday at the World Travel Market in London. This is an annual event that we very much enjoy attending.

Monday is Press Day, and generally by invitation only. It was good to catch up with friends from the Philippines Department of Tourism, as well as suppliers who had made the journey from Manila to be on the Philippines stand.

Here's to a successful few days for everyone concerned!
