Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts/research on Leyte. Ting had indicated that it is the next up and coming location for diving, which would certainly drive traffic to our resort. There seems to be a lot of interesting dive sites, especially viewing whale sharks. There also seems to be a ton of places to go trekking in the jungle, which I know JT will like. I get the sense that it's more "untouched" than some of the other sites.
Resorts For Sale:
Hindang, Leyte, Philippines
Mahayag, Albuera, Leyte, Philippines
Both of the resorts seem to be well established, but I wonder why they're selling. I would think that given that the area is still up and coming, we would have to have capital to keep us afloat until we can establish regular clientele.
JT and I were discussing this weekend if we would want to be somewhere that is established, with steady traffic of vacationers/divers already travelling to the area vs. being in a smaller resort village where we would need to do a lot more marketing, but there is less competition. There are pros and cons to each, but ultimately, we couldn't come up with an answer until we actually visits the sites.
While it's important to us to be monetarily successful, it's more important that we live somewhere where we like the lifestyle. JT would be all about living in the jungle, with no city resources around. I would want to be able to do a little shopping without having to drive more than an hour. Can you imagine if I had to take a boat to buy diapers? It's a balancing act.
