Airbnb signs an MoU with SPARK! to empower women tourism entrepreneurs in the Philippines

Tweet

Airbnb and SPARK!, a women’s entrepreneurship-focused NGO, today announced a partnership to promote women’s entrepreneurship in tourism and further enhance the dynamic hospitality landscape of the country.

 From L-R: Maica Teves, Philippines Executive Director, SPARK!,  Honorable Joy Belmonte, Mayor of Quezon City, and Mich Goh, Head of Public Policy for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Airbnb

This collaboration underscores a joint commitment to foster women entrepreneurship in the tourism industry through year-long capacity-building initiatives, tailored to the specificities of local government units (LGU) across the nation. By strengthening the skills and competencies of women tourism entrepreneurs, this initiative aspires to propel the tourism ecosystem forward while creating avenues for individual prosperity.

The collaboration is also underpinned by a robust investment of USD $100,000 from Airbnb, specifically earmarked for fostering women’s entrepreneurship in collaboration with SPARK!. This funding underscores Airbnb’s commitment to developing a sustainable tourism model that not only enhances the industry but also supports the economic empowerment of women entrepreneurs at its core. This strategic investment aims to unlock new opportunities for women and bolster the entire tourism ecosystem of the country.

Mich Goh, Airbnb’s Head of Public Policy for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan said, "With the Philippines leading the pack with the second largest women-led Airbnb Host community globally, this partnership for us goes beyond agreements; it is a unified mission to uplift women and enhance the backbone of our tourism industry. Through joint efforts in developing strategies and interventions, we aim to foster an environment where women-led entrepreneurship thrives."

Arlene Alipio, Director, the Office of Industry Manpower Development, Department of Tourism said, “Central to the mission of the Department of Tourism is the empowerment of women as entrepreneurs as we recognize the importance of ensuring that women are not only included but empowered to thrive within the tourism industry. Private and public sector partnerships like Airbnb’s initiative showcase the transformative power of education in unlocking opportunities for economic growth and development, thereby enabling a more inclusive and equitable tourism landscape.”

SPARK!, a catalyst for women's empowerment, will implement the training programs that are integral to this partnership. Additionally, SPARK! will also focus on job-matching and providing access to gainful employment opportunities within the tourism sector. Their expertise will bridge the gap between professional training and actual industry needs, ensuring women are not just trained but are also seamlessly integrated into tourism-related roles.

"Our commitment extends beyond training; we are dedicated to creating a pathway for women to access meaningful and empowering opportunities may it be through employment or entrepreneurship or both. This partnership reinforces our mission to foster a supportive network and bridge the gap between skills and employment," said Maica Teves, Philippines Executive Director, SPARK!.

“Women are the perfect ambassadors for tourism. We are grateful for the continuous support of SPARK! Philippines, now in partnership with Airbnb to support our local women entrepreneurs who are in the tourism and hospitality management industry. Through this program, we hope that more women can explore business models that would boost local tourism, generate more job opportunities, and contribute to the development of the city.” said Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte.

This partnership is envisioned as a cornerstone for fostering a flourishing ecosystem of women-led entrepreneurship, paving the way for a more diverse and sustainable tourism ecosystem. This year-long partnership was launched first through a pilot program in Quezon City through a partnership with SPARK!, and supported by the Quezon City government.

Mich Goh added, "Our commitment echoes beyond today's announcement. By empowering women, we cultivate a sense of ownership and shared responsibility, ultimately creating a community of empowered women and a thriving tourism industry."

 

Gerard Butler Races Against the End of the World in Greenland, Now on Lionsgate Play

Tweet

In this Gerard Butler starrer, a family navigates through an apocalyptic threat, showcasing the resilience and heroism of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

How far would you go to protect your family as the world ends? In Greenland, Gerard Butler stars as John Garrity, a structural engineer who finds himself facing the ultimate test of survival as a planet-killing comet speeds towards Earth. He embarks on a perilous journey with his estranged wife (Morena Baccarin) and young son, and as cities around the globe are obliterated one after another, they witness both the darkest and brightest sides of humanity. Faced with societal breakdown and the relentless approach of the comet, their journey becomes a harrowing race against time. The family's desperate quest for safety leads them to a last-minute opportunity for salvation, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of an impending global apocalypse. Greenland is a gripping tale of resilience, love, and the indomitable will to survive against all odds.

On what attracted him to the role, Gerard Butler spoke of how the film focuses on personal stories rather than the apocalyptic background: “Rather than the typical kind of action movie where you're focusing on the bigger thing, the comet, that's almost in the background… I felt like the themes in the movie, that it was incredibly emotional and fraught and it's just this family going through hell… It wasn't your typical hero who's going up there to punch the comet in the face. This is just a simple man and a family. The hero here is almost the family unit themselves. The mother is the hero, the son is the hero. And sometimes heroism is literally just fighting enough to survive. So I really enjoy the subtleties and it took me by surprise.”

Greenland starts streaming on Lionsgate Play on PLDT Home on April 5, 2024.
