RP now a favorite corporate tour destination
The department is further prepping up Cebu, Subic and Clark as the next centers for tourism
The Philippines is emerging as a favorite destination among Asian travelers for corporate events.
More members of the Taiwan travel industry were considering the Philippines as a destination for incentive tour groups, conferences and other business travel activities, said the Tourism Department.
“The combined efforts of our local travel trade and the department are making headway not only in reaching more of the Taiwan travel market, but also in propping up the Philippines as one of Asia’s top venues for corporate events,” said Tourism Secretary Ace Durano.
A 131-strong group from the Taiwan subsidiary of global sports wear brand Adidas recently toured the various historical and cultural around Manila. Shopping and entertainment were also in place during their four-day stay.
Another group of 73 members from Tachong Bank’s sales force took to Palawan for a two-week holiday. The Taipei-based company is one of the major providers of consumer and corporate banking services.
“The demand for convention and business travel services is very palpable. The country’s strength lies in our ability to offer various activities, attractions and destinations, and the warm and professional Filipino staff ready to assist the tour groups,” Durano said.
Durano said the Tourism Department had been actively promoting the country’s meetings, incentives, conventions and events facilities to not only the Taiwan market, but to other Asian countries as well.
Metro Manila currently serves as the hub for conferences, expositions and other international trade activities, but the department is further prepping up Cebu, Subic and Clark as the next centers for these events. Roderick T. dela Cruz - Manila Standard Today
