The tourism industry has taken a huge hit since COVID-19 came about. With people locking up, tourist spots had to close down. But as we learn here today, not all businesses in tourism shut down - in fact, some of them were able to draw in more people. In the heart of Janiuay is Damires Hills, a pristine nature paradise calling out to the lockdown-weary people. All thanks to Paolo Tirador’s management of the family business, the inland resort is not just surviving the pandemic - it’s thriving.  We’re down to our last two Wednesdays but the quality just keeps going. Paolo’s management of Damires Hills has brought new life to the inland resort. For businesses that needed people to go out, the population staying in would spell the end. But Paolo has shown us that with the right business decisions, even the most difficult of situations can be turned around. Join us on this fantastic Wednesday as we talk about adjusting to the times, making the most out of the worst of situations, and reconnecting with our passions.
