Tips to Make the Most out of your Business Trip

A trip to Bacolod can be fun regardless of if you don’t have a budget or if you have one.

To help you get started on having a more fun time in Bacolod City, consider doing our tips below:

Those who prefer to splurge can have the luxuries offered by the high-end hotels like Park Inn Radison, Rosetta Guest Hotel, GV Hotel, Carlosta Hotel, and more. Hotels sometimes provide chauffeurs leading you to locations they have pre-determined.

For the budgetarians, you can stay in nice hotels for affordable prices. They usually offer free breakfast meals but sometimes there are none at all. There are nearby carenderias or local restaurants that provide a hearty meal.

For both choices, it might be hard for you to stay away from the company’s planned itinerary. But a trip to Bacolod might become more interesting if you follow our tips below.

There are a lot of activities offered by Bacolod. In nearby municipalities there are plenty of natural attractions, but in the city proper itself there are nice places you can go to for an hour or two with business associates or by yourself.

To avoid a hotel-meeting-hotel lifestyle for the rest of your business trip, visit some of the malls in the city. There is the Robinsons Bacolod, the Gaisano Central Mall in Downtown, and the SM Center Mall.

If you don’t want to blend into a crowd but instead wants to relax in a cafe, you can go to the City and check out Pedro’s Place. It might be better if you go for cafes found in Downtown for easier access. Bliss Place Cafe, Bugsie’s Cafe and Resto are some local favorites.

Plenty of first-time travelers can underestimate the roads and routes of Bacolod City. Some abstain from exploring even Downtown thanks to the confusion they can get from the public transportation system. The humid air and traffic at peak hours is not very inviting to those who just want to explore the city.

On times that you have an appointment far from the city, it is good to have your own rental unit that you have all to yourself. Unlike public transportation where you have to wait for the entire vehicle to get filled before traveling, a self-drive rental gives you freedom of movement.

A good rental car from Bacolod Auto Rental can be easily arranged. With our diverse selection of rental vehicles at affordable rates, you can go to your business meetings in style and have more liberties when exploring Bacolod.
