TKC as we fondly call our Tourism Knowledge Center is Rajah Travel’s Advocacy Department. Apart from our usual various operations department, we have dedicated a department to champion our cause to assist in catalyzing the tourism industry transformation, enhancing the ecosystem alignment and optimizing their interoperability.

In fulfilling our functions, we recognize the need for several collaborators. So, we have our special Academe Partners who, more than just provide OJTs, work with us to ensure that our initiatives are successful by attending and hosting our events, participate in our seminars (especially on research), join our Travel Academy courses, among others.

TKC originated with the idea of Ms. Aileen Clemente to increase the sharing among tour guides of their knowledge of short stories and trivia about destinations. Ultimately, Rajah should be a Data Center for what we call, Lost Pieces of History.

Ms. Clemente’s sharing of this idea to Dr. Twinkle Rodolfo and Usec. Alan Canizal led to a larger and more strategic direction. Eventually, Rajah Travel coined TKC to become a Data Hub for anything “tourism” and to be used as a one-stop shop for national and international data and researches, as well as to be an active ecosystem participant and assist the effectiveness of sharing— to create more robust activities, papers, and cohesive structure of the system. Currently, Dr. Twinkle and Usec. Alan serve as part of the advisory Committee.
