Wellness Tourism as a Limitless Investment

Tweet

Wellness hideaway.  Anya Resorts and Residence is designed and landscaped in harmony with nature to create an environment that provides relaxation, peace, and rejuvenation. Its top-notch amenities are comparable with the best luxury resort developments in the world

When thinking about the Philippines, what comes to mind for a foreign tourist? Some would say beaches like Boracay or the ones in Panglao. Others would say Siargao for the surfing. Shopping is recommended at Makati and Greenhills. Noticeably absent in such a list is a resort destination that truly represents the best that the Philippines offers—but that is just about to change.

Anya Resorts and Residences, located along Buena Vista Hills Road in Silang, Tagaytay, is the first and only Filipino international resort brand offering world-class amenities and services to foreign and local tourists alike.

 It is a most welcome addition to the many investment opportunities for wellness tourism in the country.

With more than 7,000 islands and a wealth of natural beauty; a people who are among the friendliest, most caring, and most compassionate people in the world; and with English being widely spoken as one of the official languages, the Philippines presents many investment opportunities for tourism. However, Anya as the first and only world-class Filipino resort brand provides many benefits to investors.

Anya’s investment program is developed with long-term and short-term returns in mind. As an investor, we will work with you in understanding the returns you seek, balanced with the usage you desire.

Quality amenities. From round-the-clock hotel services (from room service to even laundry and pressing) to three swimming pools; to a “borderless library” (guests may take a printed or electronic book and read it anywhere in the property); and a spacious lobby lounge; to spa services and pocket gardens for relaxation, contemplation, or wellness activities like meditation and yoga—Anya’s guests have all that they need for relaxation, peace, and rejuvenation. 

In recent years, the Philippines has proven itself to be a competent player in the global economy by consistently posting one of the highest-growing GDP’s all over the world. Central to the country’s economic growth is its tourism sector. It’s not hard to imagine why when the Philippines is home to breathtaking geographic formations, flourishing flora and fauna, and the warmest people.

Spa services include massage, detoxification, and other treatments that cater to guests’ health and well-being. 

Anya operates several restaurants that serve healthy, international cuisine. The food is not only delicious but healthy as well; vegetables are sourced from Anya’s own farm. Anya’s cuisine is created and supervised by Chef Carlo Miguel.

Limitless opportunities. Health and wellness is a billion-dollar industry and more and more people are expected to avail themselves of products and services that promote their physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Investing in Anya Resorts and Residences connects investors to a market that is expected to grow year after year after year. 

Liquidity. Anya’s investors earn cash on an ongoing basis. As Anya’s world-class resort facilities assure a steady and growing client base among wellness travelers, this ensures a steady cash flow that helps an investor’s share stay liquid. It’s like earning money while you sleep.

Highest capital appreciation. Anya is expected to quickly appreciate in value, with higher cash returns compared to other types of real estate. This is because Anya is a branded, full-service, and managed development. Furthermore, it has excellent maintenance and world-class facilities that inspire trust and loyalty among its customers.

Managed asset. World-renowned experts are in-charge of managing Anya’s assets. These experts are there to make sure that investors continue to earn from their investment. Investors are then free to focus on their main business and let their money grow.

Marketed asset / SLH. Even the best piece of real estate in the best location will not prosper without a savvy, effectively implemented marketing strategy. The marketing team behind Anya are experts in marketing luxury resorts both domestically and internationally.

Filipino luxury brand. The Philippines never had a truly Filipino luxury resort brand until Roxaco built Anya Resorts and Residences. Today, Anya stands for world-class quality and the best that the Filipino can offer the world. It stands proudly among the best luxury resort developments on the planet. To be an Anya investor is to be part of a lasting, prestigious legacy.

Kids Acts Philippines presents "MULAN"

Tweet

"MULAN" adapted from a Chinese Poem “The Ballad of Mulan.” The story of Mulan, a popular Chinese heroine, comes from an old Chinese folktale entitled “The Ballad of Mulan”. Originally a poem – Hua Mulan’s story has been adapted into a number of different versions over the years.

"Mulan" with script and lyrics by Luigi Nacario and music by Eugene Belbis.

This year, Kids Acts Philippines will stage its own take on the ballad as the season offering to all schools. Fearless and determined, Mulan’s story starts out as China is facing the threat of the Huns. The Emperor seeks out the help of the men of different families to fight in battle. Former military man and Mulan’s father is among those chosen. Too old and sick to participate but also too honourable to walk away from the duty. Mulan’s father and his family are faced with the dilemma of being unable to send someone in his place. Without a male member who is old enough to fight, Mulan steps forward to serve in the army in his place.

This version of Mulan’s tale, unlike the other popular versions, shows the perspective of her siblings. It also shows that her parents have given her their blessings to do what she must. Mulan will then take appropriate measures to prepare for battle. The story unfolds around her buying the necessary equipment she will need before setting out. It also exhibits the different seasons she goes through during the course of the war. When Mulan comes home, she amazes everyone with the fact that she is indeed a woman.

"Mulan" is a story of family, sacrifice and courage rooted in the rich culture and tradition of China – the production of Mulan is certainly a treat that all families will enjoy.

Pedro Calungsod is the second Filipino saint declared by the Roman Catholic church after Saint Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila. A young Filipino man, Pedro Calungsod, leaves his Visayan native roots to join the Spanish Jesuit priest Fr. Diego de San Vitores in his mission to the Marianas Islands (Guam) in 1668.

The San Diego Mission arrives in the Marianas where the young Pedro, a trained catechist and mission assistant, begins work for Fr. Diego de San Vitores in baptizing the Chamorro natives, preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the Christian faith amidst paganism, doubt and disbelief. Despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives, even at the peril of death, Pedro and Fr. Diego continued their missionary work. They roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about Christianity.

This is the story of how the young Filipino saint, between wars and persecutions, played his part in this divine mission. This adventure movie is for everybody. The young boy who guided his blind mentor is something to witness and learn from. Pedro Calungsod's life of devotion is relatable to all.

"From his childhood, Pedro Calungsod declared himself unwaveringly for Christ and responded generously to his call. Young people today can draw encouragement and strength from the example of Pedro, whose love of Jesus inspired him to devote his teenage years to teaching the faith as a lay catechist. Leaving family and friends behind, Pedro willingly accepted the challenge put to him by Fr. Diego de San Vitores to join him on the Mission to the Chamorros. In a spirit of faith, marked by strong Eucharistic and Marian devotion, Pedro undertook the demanding work asked of him and bravely faced the many obstacles and difficulties he met. In the face of imminent danger, Pedro would not forsake Fr. Diego, but as a "good soldier of Christ" preferred to die at the missionary's side." - - - Pope John Paul
