BIZ BUZZ: Resurrecting AIT House

AIT House, the 27-room hotel of the UP Asian Institute of Tourism, may soon reopen its doors. Among the primary forces in the group tasked to resurrect AIT House is John Patrick Gregorio, who graduated cum laude from AIT in 1988.
The article from MSN discusses the potential revival of the AIT House, a historic building in the Philippines originally built in 1914 by the American architect William Parsons. The AIT House, once a symbol of American colonial architecture, has been largely forgotten and left in disrepair. However, recent interest from the business community, particularly from the Ayalas, one of the country's prominent business families, has sparked discussions about its restoration. The Ayalas, through their real estate arm Ayala Land, are considering transforming the AIT House into a cultural and commercial hub, potentially integrating it into their broader development plans for the area. This initiative aims not only to preserve a piece of architectural history but also to revitalize the surrounding community by attracting tourists and locals alike with its historical significance and modern amenities.
