By Alithea De Jesus

Who would have thought that fifty years ago, the couple, Jose and Alejandra Clemente’s business idea would become a household name in the tourism country of the Philippines? The Clemente couple decided to start their very own travel agency and named it “Rajah,” a word used to address the highest rank in the Philippine society during the pre-colonial period. Perhaps, to the younger generation, the word Rajah is not a familiar word to them. But the couple deliberately chose the name Rajah, and embrace it to be a part of their culture and values by ensuring the quality of service they commit to provide its customers, that is, with royalty and grandness!

Back in 1972, the Philippines was a “goldmine” of tourist attractions that only a few have known of. Rajah assumed its role as the government pushed for several projects to enhance the potential of the country’s tourism industry. It was at the forefront in making the Philippines known to other countries as a tourist destination as it first capitalized in inbound tourism. Its hearty and sincere efforts of preserving and promoting the Philippine culture along with the liberalization of entry of tourists into the country, eventually paved way for the business to have its big break. Rajah warmly welcomed tourists from nearby countries, mostly from Japan and Hongkong, and of course, catered to our “Balikbayans” coming from the United States.   Needless to say, Rajah became the face of the Philippine tourism and hospitality industry, serving every guest with natural cheerfulness, warmth, sincerity and care that leave an indelible mark in the memories of those people they served.

Rajah Travel Corporation (RTC) was incorporated separately in 1992 as a BSP/IATA travel agency originally to concentrate on outbound ticketing and reservations, wholesaling of tour packages, and consolidating for airlines. From then on, Rajah Travel has served as the catalyst for Filipinos to dream of seeing the world, offering world-class destinations and premium vacations, both to the leisure and corporate market. It partnered with The Travel Corporation (TTC) and has already established world-renowned travel brands like Insight Vacations and Contiki, two of the biggest motorcoach operators in Europe, as well as Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. Through the years, Rajah Travel marketed these brands all over the Philippines as a General Sales Agent. Furthermore, since 1995, Rajah Travel operates Carlson Wagonlit Philippines, a part of the CWT global network, managing business travel, meetings and events, serving organizations of all sizes.  

Rajah Travel continued achieving its success under the leadership of the youngest child of the Clementes, Aileen C. Clemente. Over the years it has transformed into a full-service travel company that also engages business in various travel-related activities: Leisure travel; Corporate Travel Management;  Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions (MICE) Travel, Event Management; Documentation Services; Travel Shop; Tourism Property Management; Travel  Academy, and Tourism Knowledge Center.  

Stewardship 

At the heart of Rajah, is the core value of stewardship. Not only displayed within the company but also in its advocacies around its different tourism projects. 

Since 2015, the Rajah Travel Corporation has been working with the Palawan Liberation Task Force to highlight the historical value of the Palawan Province and the key role it played in World War II. RTC worked with communities to uncover or rediscover lost pieces of history. After thorough research, they were able to install historical markers around the province and they have as well honored veterans and their families during its yearly ceremony. This paved the way for Rajah Travel to create tour packages for both inbound and domestic tourism that are curated to highlight these historical and cultural attractions in various provinces in the country. 

RTC also marked its presence in the global arena as the only member of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) in the Philippines, actively partaking in raising awareness globally on the issues concerning the travel and tourism industry. In pursuit of the same advocacy in its own country, RTC strengthened its ties with the national and local government, as well as with the private sector including the academe, to establish the Tourism Knowledge Center which envisions to provide a wealth of data, analysis, trends and thematic investigations and study on the various sectors and issues of the tourism industry. It also ventured into providing management services for various tourism sites to assist them in the improvement of their data collection and management system. This is alongside Rajah’s commitment to promoting these sites as well to its global audience. 

Refiner’s Fire  

Rajah Travel Corporation operations like most in the tourism industry was not spared from the adverse effect of COVID in 2020.  There is no denying that many businesses have closed down because of the pandemic while others are still struggling how to keep their business afloat and hopefully recover sooner. Needless to say, many amongst us have already thrown in the towel, seemingly stuck in the fatalistic outlook and got caught with the paralysis-analysis of how to deal with the ‘uncharted territory’ of the coronavirus pandemic. Great leaders accept the challenge and that is to take on an action plan that anticipates the worst and prepares us for it.

Truly, there’s no perfect way to handle this extraordinary situation which, by all indications, is beyond our control. But one thing that the Rajah Travel Corporation showed under the tutelage of Aileen is by refusing to embrace a defeatist attitude. Her leadership provided a strong mindset that treads against the worst-case scenario and that is what Filipino resiliency is all about.

Rajah Travel believes that the pandemic is like a refiner’s fire, for both the industry and Rajah Travel. It’s just another step of the whole process of purifying gold, allowing it to achieve its purest form under the heat of a fire. For Rajah, the past 2 years have presented an opportunity to innovate and improve further. It gave birth to the Travel Academy, a program that is first of its kind in the industry, offering online internship opportunities for tourism and hospitality management students at the comfort of their homes. RTC set up this Remote  Practicum Program to support educators and academe professionals in preparing the future leaders of the tourism industry by letting the aspirants experience the different parts and processes involved in running a travel business.  

The Golden Year Celebration  

The journey that has brought Rajah into its 50 th year is both humbling and something to be proud of. Nevertheless, despite the continued threat of COVID 19, this occasion proved to be worth celebrating because of the collective efforts of Rajah’s local partners, as well as the support of their loyal clients that carried them through all the adversities encountered throughout the years.  

Rajah Travel Corporation will continue to celebrate this feat and gear up to announce its lineup of activities In the celebratory kick-off, big discounts that will welcome the coming of the year of the tiger. Games and raffles are something to watch out for on their social media platforms throughout the year. The game mechanics and the prizes will surely bring out the fun side and competitive side of everyone, even while at home. 

Moreover, Rajah Travel, having been able to adapt already to the new normal and technology of conducting online events, will likewise resume its product launches and its very own annual selling event, the Destination Finder (DF). DF will be ran running for the 3 rd time, on the 3 rd quarter of the year 2022, to help guests plan their trips for the following year, 2023.  

In all of these, is a clear affirmation and commitment that Rajah will continue thriving and will continue to be with you on your journey as you have been with them through the years.  To know more about Rajah and to get assistance for your dream travel with your family or loved loved ones, please contact visit Rajah Travel website at www.rajahtravel.com , email [email protected] .

I didn't know that I needed a Visa for some Asian countries. So before going on a vacation I searched for Travel Agencies that help in processing visa applications. This is one of the agency that came up on my search. It was easy to find. Located in a nice area. Accessible to all mode of transportation. Upon entering the office, a receptionist greets you and let you fill up a paper for a certain country you are interested in visiting. Then an agent helps you out. Checks the documents that you are submitting. And when it is completed, they will ask for your Visa Payment. And it will be a waiting game For 2-3 weeks but depends on the country you are trying to avail a visa. Sometimes with in 6 days you get a visa but sometimes it can take up to 3weeks. So plan ahead your trip and make sure you have enough time to get the visa. I recommend this travel agency.

Sometimes big promos for international airlines are harder to book using their official websites. Either it says there are no more seats (when in fact, there actually are) or the website hangs because everybody is on the same website trying to book as well. It's times like these that I like to call travel agencies instead. Last January, I used Rajah Travel to book a flight that was part of a promotion of Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines' website rates were higher than the ones they put in their print ad so I assumed that the allotted number of tickets for their website was already taken and so I decided to look elsewhere. I called Rajah Travel and true enough, they had the flight I wanted in the price that I wanted. I paid an additional 30 USD for the agency fee but I was still able to save a lot more on the ticket price plus Feliz of Rajah Travel was very swift and accommodating. I was able to book my flight that day and it was all hassle free and I was very happy with their service.

Journey to the Volga 1766 to 1767

Picture

The Volga over its whole immense expanse was the run of the “thieving Cossacks,” whose deeds were sung and who were not regarded among the people as common robbers in the ordinary sense, for they operated on a grand scale. In their own songs they say of themselves: “We are not thieves, not bandits — we are good brave fellows.”

Saratov is a major city in southern Russia. The city was initially founded in the 16th century as a fortress to protect the southern districts of the Russian Empire. Situated on the Volga River, Saratov was a major military aircraft manufacturing site, the home of the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, and a vital part of the Soviet space program. There is a museum dedicated to Gagarin and his life. Saratov has a rich cultural life, as well - among the most famous sites is the Conservatoire designed in a Neo-Gothic style as well as the Drama Theatre named after Ivan Slonov, one of the oldest theatres in Russia. For those interested in art there is the Radischev Art Museum with more than 20,000 exhibits. Of other interest, the community of Volga Germans was centred in the Saratov region. In the early 20th century over 800,000 ethnic Germans made their home in this area preserving many of their German customs.

There are flights and trains from Moscow to Saratov, but is normally visited as part of a river cruise. The embankments along the Volga give some spectacular views including the ‘Old Bridge’ which was the longest bridge in Europe until the 1980s.

Cross the bridge to Saratov, the city that appeared practically overnight

rajah travel corporation services

Saratov is a great place to feel the immense grandeur of the Volga River. Saratov offers an unusual collection of architecture from the pre-revolutionary and Soviet period and its large center makes for an excellent place to take an aimless walk through centuries of Russian history literally living on top of each other.  

rajah travel corporation services

By the early 1800s Saratov had grown to be a significant port city and the railroad arrived in 1870. The city experienced a boom during World War II as many factories and institutes were relocated here, although it was closed during Soviet times as it was the site of a military aircraft manufacturing plant.

rajah travel corporation services

Surprisingly, Saratov went three full centuries before a promenade was built along the river. One of the main attractions here is a statue dedicated to the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. Gagarin first moved to Saratov to continue his studies in 1951 at the Saratov Industrial Technical School. He studied tractors and spent his weekends volunteering at a local aviation club where he learned to fly. He also worked part time on the Volga docks.

The Leonid Sobinov State Conservatory opened in 1912 at Kirova 1 not far from the entrance to the charming Park Lipki. At the time it was only the third in the country as Saratov was then the third largest city in Russia and the largest on the Volga (16th largest today).

The Nikitin Bothers Circus at the top of Kirova (away from the Volga) was the second stationary circus in Russia (the first is in Penza). This is probably the best place in town to see tigers and clowns under the same roof. Across the street is the Kryty Rynok, a covered market built in 1916. Behind the market is an example of a classic Soviet movie palace, Pobeda; it opened in 1955. If walking away from the circus towards the Volga there are well-preserved examples of proletarian communal buildings constructed in the 1920s on the left.

rajah travel corporation services

Park Pobedy is the city’s largest and is located at about three kilometers from the Volga. It hosts the National Village of the Peoples of Saratov Region, an open-air architectural and ethnographic museum. 

How to get there There are many trains to Saratov, but the daily direct from Moscow’s Paveletsky station is both comfortable and convenient. It leaves at 17:50 and arrives the next morning at 08:50. There are limited flights to Saratov, although  Saratov Airlines  flies to and from Moscow Domodedovo up to six times daily. 

Where to stay Hotel Slovakia  is probably the best budget option for those seeking Volga views. A standard large Soviet-era renovated hotel, rooms start at 2600 rubles. Nearby is the beautiful St. Trinity Cathedral. A church has stood here since 1675. Also of note is the Soothe My Sorrows Church (Utoli moi pechali) at Volzhskaya St. 36. It was inspired by St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow and completed in 1906. Another good central option is  Irbis Business Hotel  at Maksima Gorkogo St. 9 with rooms starting at 2400 rubles.
