Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers - Unboxing Philippine Tourism Bam Disimulacion - Professor, Author, Business Events Strategist

In this episode of the Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers Podcast, your host Bam Disimulacion discusses intangible cultural heritage.

How are cultures and traditions preserved, and who’s in charge? The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.

By preserving cultural heritage, we can keep the world from losing its identity and diversity. This episode will help you understand its importance and how you can get involved. We believe that if more people knew about the incredible work being done to preserve cultural heritage, they would be inspired to do their part, too.

That's why it's so important for us to share this episode with as many people as possible. We hope that after listening to our podcast, you'll feel compelled to take action and support these initiatives yourself. So listen to Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers to unbox the Philippine Tourism industry today.

Key Points from the Episode:


Know the difference between UNESCO World Heritage and UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
Discover what’s on the Philippines’ list of Intangible Cultural Heritage
Find out how to make a traditional baguette

Tweetable Moments:

“The big goal is to preserve the wealth of knowledge passed on from one generation to the next to safeguard and share this knowledge within communities and generations.”

“UNESCO emphasizes relevance, inclusivity, and its impact on the community, providing a sense of identity, pride, and recognition. This is in contrast with UNESCO World Heritage sites, which include monuments, seascapes, and landscapes.”

In this episode of the Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers Podcast, your host Bam Disimulacion focuses on event sustainability.

After all the restrictions brought about by the pandemic, events are now finally back. Not just virtual, but the ones where we can all gather in one venue. The anticipation and excitement of finally meeting friends, family, and even strangers to enjoy the same activity is palpable.

With this great resurgence of events, it is essential to bear in mind the importance of being responsible. This is where Peter Parker's famous words resonate; “With great power comes great responsibility”. No matter how exciting and liberating the return of events may feel, we must all take responsibility to ensure that these events are sustainable.

After listening to our podcast, we hope it inspires you to take action and make a difference. Spread the word, listen to Beyond Biases, Borders, and Barriers now and let’s unbox the Philippine Tourism industry together.

Key Points from the Episode:


Learn about the two main classifications of events: Business and Special Events
Understand what is event sustainability and what can we do to contribute to it
What’s something special about the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)

Tweetable Moments:

“Key phrases here: Preserve the environment, promote inclusivity, and support the economy. The three-point agenda helps ensure that events can decrease carbon footprint, create businesses for the long-term, uses construction materials that can be recycled and reused, and helps improve access for all.”

“It’s obvious that there is no single strategy for event sustainability, but we can always think of something to contribute so that everybody gets the benefit.”

Key Points from the Episode:


Discover the Top 10 Tourism Trends in 2023

Tweetable Moments:

“The industry is recognized for its excellent customer service, efficient labor force and long hours and low wages! Sad but true. So other than aspiring to be a flight attendant, immigration officer, and tour guide, what else is there for you? How about careers in data analytics or risk management? Or why not go into business for yourself?”

“Tourism stakeholders have finally realized top-down is not really the way to go. The bottom-up strategy may be the key to unlocking the participation of the locals. After all, it’s their home, and we are just visiting. Besides, almost 90% of all tourism establishments are small- and medium-scale organizations. They’ve got to have their vote, too.”

“The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development said that creative industries are advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research & development, software, computer games, electronic publishing, and TV/radio. A quick example is the Korean Wave, a global phenomenon of K-dramas, K-pop, manhwa, Korean bibimbap, and kimchi. These infinite combinations can strongly distinguish destinations and their unique product offerings. And we’re good at this, Philippines!”
