When you travel, you also contribute to the improvement of people's lives.
As a personal advocacy, I encourage you to support local industries and entrepreneurs when you buy your souvenirs, book a hotel, or find a tour operator.

My favorite pasalubong (souvenir) from Bais is the hayub. It is dried danggit: very common fish from the waters of Bais. I'm sure other stalls also sell dangit so if you have time, try to look around the market too.
I also try to eat at local markets. Aside from supporting the local economy, you also get a snapshot of the local culture: what they eat, how they shop, etc.
The next time you travel, support local industries and entrepreneurs.
