TRAVEL FACTOR
COMPANY PROFILE
Travel Factor was founded in 2006 when a group of young urban professionals realized the need for an organization dedicated to promoting and providing affordable trips for fellow city slickers and urbanites. From a humble beginning of small surf trips to San Juan, La Union, the same group has explored and is continuously combing the Philippines for alternative destinations. Today, Travel Factor (TF) has grown to be one of the biggest adventure tour providers in the country.
TF is managed and owned by travelers and entrepreneurs Michelle Tan, Reg Mamaril, Cedric Valera, Leia Nagal, Lallie Udquin and Leyna Torralba.
Completing Team TF are Aica Lenon and Jessie Morqueda.
TF takes pride in its current lineup of trips promoted in 7 categories: SURFVIVOR, PHOTOHOLIC, CONQUER, DIVE, BACKPACKING, FOODTRIP and the Ultimate Beach Bumming Experience (UBBE).
| SURFVIVOR – The SURFVIVOR series is TF’s flagship and most popular brand with its pioneering trips and group tours to La Union, the surfing capital of the north. Now, participants can join surf trips to Baler, Zambales, Bagasbas, Catanduanes, Siargao and TF’s first international destination, Bali! | PHOTOHOLIC – Travel and photography go hand in hand, and TF has realized this early on by introducing its now famed PHOTHOLIC Ilocos. A big hit among photographers and photography enthusiasts, TF now offers photo safaris to Zambales, Batanes, Sagada and soon Bicol and the Cordilleras. Another new offering under the PHOTOHOLIC series is its workshops. Led by esteemed photographers, newbies can maximize their potential by learning basic digital photography, travel photography, documentary photography and even basic studio portraiture. |
| CONQUER – For adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies, TF’s CONQUER lineup cannot be more perfect. This 2010, TF will CONQUER mountain destinations, blazing the trails of Mt. Pinatubo and Mt. Pulag. For a different challenge, there’s spelunking in Sagada and Nueva Vizcaya or experience the ride of a lifetime | FOODTRIP- Have a taste of the most scrumptious regionalcuisines the Philippines has to offer. Enjoy the sights and experience the culture while we excite your tastebuds with local delicacies from Ilocos’bagnet to Pampanga’s sisig. Savor the palatable flavor of Iloilo with its famous batchoy orCebu’s pride, its lechon. With TF’s FOODTRIP, it’s bound to be a gastronomical adventure. |
| DIVE – While the world above the water is much fun, being below it is virtually a different universe. DIVE trips are TF getaways that take you to the Philippines’ best underwater experiences. DIVE into a different world and discover for yourself how amazing our seas are. DIVE trips are open to divers, snorkelers, swimmers, or just plain beach bummers. DIVE is for everybody! This year’s lineup includes Donsol (Sorsogon), Apo Reef (Mindoro), Apo Island (Negros Oriental), Coron and El Nido (Palawan), among others. And for would-be-divers, TF is proud to announce that it will soon be offering open water licensing courses. It’s DO or DIVE! | Ultimate Beach Bumming Experience (UBBE) – What’s a better day than spending a lazy afternoon at a postcard-perfect beach? TF surely knows and has perfected the art of beach bumming. Choose from a wide array of prime beach destinations such as Calaguas Island (Camarines Norte), El Nido (Palawan), the Caramoan Peninsula (Camarines Sur), Bohol and Cebu, just to name a few. This IS the Ultimate Beach Bumming Experience. |
| BACKPACKING – Backpacks. Hostels. Life on the road. Get a slice of what the backpacking life is all about! More than the usual weekend, BACKPACKING trips are more spontaneous, edgier and hardcore. Take a bite out of some of Travel Factor International trips to Kota Kinabalu, Saigon, Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur and Bali. Or take TF’s legendary BACKPACKING INDOCHINA, CHINA, KOREA and JAPAN and prepare to be amazed. Coming up in 2011: USA, EUROPE and NEW ZEALAND! | Coming Soon!

But what sets Travel Factor apart is that it goes the extra mile to provide its participants the ultimate travel experience.
TF is often called as a travel organization or a club because of the camaraderie fostered among its participants and organizers – the same participants who were once solo travelers themselves. Because of this, TF enjoys unprecedented customer loyalty and enthusiasm. Clearly, Travel Factor is not an agency, it’s a lifestyle!
Affordable trips. Ultimate experiences.
WE KNOW ADVENTURE.
