Why Join a Startup Weekend Bohol Tourism Edition?

A Startup Weekend Tourism Edition is a 3-day event where, on Friday night, participants pitch or pick ideas that benefit the tourism sector, form teams, work on their idea, and present their final product vision and business viability on Sunday night. With this format, four things can happen:
Connect. Wanted to work on a project or new business to help better the tourism situation in Bohol but haven’t yet found the right people to help you? Startup Weekend Tourism Edition brings together designers, developers, business professionals, and tourism industry experts to help you go on the right track. You might find your future team members, mentors, and stakeholders at this event!
Discover. Startup Weekend Tourism Edition helps you discover the playing field; you will be introduced to new resources available near you and will leave the event knowing the next steps you need to take on your road to success.
Learn. Participants will learn what it really takes to create a company. No book, panel, speaker, or blog post will teach you what you need to know about business; you just have to experience it and Startup Weekend Tourism Edition will help you do just that by putting you in an environment where you don’t have to worry about anything else (food, internet, resources) other than learning how to create a company.
Start. Startup Weekend Tourism Edition as a platform is designed to get you going FAST. The organizers will ready mentors, and material for you to get the learning process going and will help you make the most out of the weekend.
The event is in partnership with the Department of Tourism, Provincial Government of Bohol, and the Bohol Investment Promotion Center. It is sponsored by PrintBit, Gwion, and Sea Drake Island Cruises (we are still open for sponsorships!) . The participants at the event will also be mentored by Michael de Vincent Edwards, Aimee Lim, Tina Amper, Ben Skelton, and Peter Watkins. With them are judges Mark Phillips, Vicky Wallace, and many more startup ecosystem supporters.
Startup Weekend Bohol will be in September 29October 1, 2017 at the Bohol Bee Farm Panglao. If you’d like to register and stay updated, text Zion at 09084213938 or e-mail us at bohol@startupweekend.org and find us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/StartupWeekendBohol/
