Recreational Outdoor Exchange: Adventure Philippines!
Posted by Carambs
I visited Recreational Outdoor Exchange at Bonifacio High Street yesterday and got my fix of Life is Good, buying a pair of pink river shorts. With my purchase, I got a copy of DisPatch, and a copy of Adventure Philippines. It just makes perfect sense that ROX is promoting adventure activities within the Philippines.
DisPatch seems like the official publication of ROX. But instead of just being a brochure and featuring its products, there are articles about personalities, destinations, and other adventure topics. It’s a very interesting paper, but I have 2 complaints. First, the size. It’s too big. Second, some of the pictorials are too “fake”. The models are made up, the clothes are too clean - I just think this contradicts the essence of “adventure” which is the raw soaking up of the outdoors, if that even makes sense. Still, DisPatch is a good supplement for the ROX customer.
Adventure Philippines has a brochure, a result of a collaboration among the Department of Tourism, Recreational Outdoor Exchange, and Wow Philippines. It is “Your Guide to Outdoor Escapes in the Philippines”. It starts with
The Philippines is a perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast. Here’s why!
Variety - There are dozens of extreme escapes waiting for you. We have adventures that will push you to the limit, and also more relaxed pursuits that you’re sure to enjoy. From aquatic sports to hiking and spelunking, the Philippines can satisfy any kind of craving for adventure.
Affordability - Everything in the Philippines is within your budget, from accommodations, transportation and food, especially when you’re out in the provinces. You’ll be amazed at how far your money can go!
Modern infrastructure - All adventure destinations in the Philippines are easily accessible by land, sea, or air. Plus an excellent cellular phone network and convenient pre-paid mobile phone services help keep you in touch.
No language barrier - Almost everywhere you go, English is spoken and understood. Leave those phrase books at home!

I will try my best to post all of the tour packages included in Adventure Philippines.

i was there too… in the afternoon and i agree with the commments 1. too big for what it contained. what i would love to see are more action to fill up all the spaces, perhaps more stuff to hunt 2. too fake because of all the other factors… the ambiance made me feel like am in A different kind of fashion show, not adventure or am in another shopping mall or store…. overall though the idea and the presence of ROX helps and will help boost the industry…
