DoT targets 15% Hike in Tourist Arrivals
CEBU CITY – Banking on the implementation of the Tourism Act or RA 9593, the Department of Tourism (DoT) is forecasting a 15% jump in tourist arrivals by year-end in top tourist destinations in the country.
Tourism Secretary Ace Durano said the department is optimistic it will meet its target with the increase in movement of domestic travelers, boosted with a recovery in foreign travel.
Tourism Undersecretary for Planning and Promotions Eduardo Jarque Jr. has said that the international and local travel markets have regained their confidence in the global economy, which could result in more activity in business and travel.
“We see the MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions) market growing again this year,” Jarque said. “The tourism market will be more upbeat and because the local sector has stood strong amid the crisis compared to other countries, the advantage is on us.”
In an industry report released recently by the DoT the department stated that it foresees coordinated and integrated efforts of government and the private sector to expand current capacity, increase tourist demand, enhance tourism revenues, and create more employment opportunities in tourist destinations.
Cebu has emerged as the number one tourism destination in the Philippines in 2009, with total tourist traffic arrival for the year hitting 1.61 million, or a 1.2 percent increase from the previous year’s arrival figures.
Aside from Cebu, other top destinations in the country are Camarines Sur, Metro Manila, Baguio City, Davao City, Boracay Island, Cagayan de Oro City, Zambales, Bohol, Puerto Princesa City, Camiguin, Cagayan Valley, Negros Oriental and Ilocos Norte.
The report also underscored that as of the end of 2009, the DoT has endorsed 28 new tourism projects worth P36.3 billion. These projects are estimated to employ 15,567 persons once operational.

PDOT Travel Advisory - Philippines H1N1 Free
The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised the H1N1 virus, commonly called swine flu, to the 5th level on a 6-level scale, after the virus has spread to more than a dozen countries, indicating that an influenza pandemic is imminent.
There has been no reported case of H1N1 flu in the Philippines, and is thus declared as an H1N1-free destination.
The government is closely monitoring all incoming travelers in six international airports, seaports and other airports servicing chartered flights with thermal scanners to detect body temperatures. Special isolation areas have also been put up in these ports to quarantine travelers exhibiting flu symptoms, especially those coming from places with reported cases of H1N1 flu.
The government further required public and private hospitals to be on heightened alert and to monitor and report suspicious cases of H1N1 flu. Regional tourism offices have been instructed to stay vigilant and work in close coordination with concerned government agencies in monitoring H1N1 cases.
No cancellations on tour packages to the country were reported by the tourism industry.
Boracay Island Makes List of World's Best Beaches
BORACAY, Aklan: Internet search engine Yahoo! and popular website AskMen.com included this resort island on their list of the world's 10 best beaches.

Boracay Makes List of World's Best Beaches
BORACAY, Aklan: Internet search engine Yahoo! and popular website AskMen.com included this resort island on their list of the world's 10 best beaches.
Yahoo! ranked Boracay seventh while AskMen.com, which claims more than five million site visitors monthly, placed Boracay on the eighth spot.
According to Web traffic analysis companies, Yahoo! has been the most visited website on the Internet, with more than 412 million unique users.
AskMen.com, on the other hand, is a Canadian-based, free online men's Web portal. Its sections feature topics that are pertinent to men. Among its sections are Fashion & Lifestyle, Health & Sports and Dating & Love.
With this positive exposure in the worldwide Web, Gov. Carlito Marquez of Aklan is confident that business will be good in this resort island.
Boracay is famous for its powdery white sand, pristine waters and lush tropical forests.
In coming out with their lists, Yahoo! and AskMen.com emphasized the "numerous positive feedback" they received from website readers and the wide range of available attractions each chosen beach offers.
In late 1980s, this resort island was named by two travel magazines as one of the world's top 10 beaches, too. The title disappeared after the issue on coliform contamination hit this resort island in mid-1990s.
Marquez attributed Boracay's positive image abroad to the Department of Tourism's aggressive promotional activities.
Boracay's two primary tourism beaches, White Beach and Bulabog Beach, are located on opposite sides of the island's narrow central area. White Beach faces westwards and Bulabog Beach faces eastwards. The island also has several other beaches.
White Beach is the main tourism beach. It is a bit over four kilometers long and is lined with resorts, hotels, lodging houses, restaurants, and other tourism-related businesses.
In the central portion, for about two kilometers, there is a footpath known as the beachfront path separating the beach itself from the establishments located along it.
North and south of the beachfront path, beachfront establishments do literally front along the beach itself.
Several roads and paths connect the beachfront path with Boracay's main road, a vehicular road which runs the length of the island. At the extreme northern end of White Beach, a footpath runs around the headland there and connects White Beach with Diniwid Beach.
Across the island from White Beach is Bulabog Beach, a secondary tourism beach and Boracay's main windsurfing and kiteboarding area. -- Panay News ###
DOT prepares for the June 12 Philippine Independence Day celebration
Preparations are underway for this year’s celebration of the Philippine Independence day on June 12, 2007 with the theme “Sama-sama tayo, tungo sa pag-asenso.”
The celebration according to Department of Tourism Secretary Joseph “Ace” Durano was divided into three parts: the Watawat, Kalayaan and the Kabayanihan modules. The first module will be focused on the Flag Day on May 28 at Alapan Historical landmark in Imus Cavite.

There will be a series of flag days every Monday which will start on May 21 to June 30.

Kalayaan module emphasizes the high point of the celebration on June 12 which is the Parada ng Kalayaan at the Quirino Grandstand to be participated in by all government agencies. This will also allow other historical places to replicate or do other related activities like the simultaneous flag-raising and wreath-laying rites that will be done in Rizal Park in Luneta, Aguinaldo Shrine in Cavite, Barasoain Church in Malolos, Bulacan, Bonifacio National Monument, in Caloocan City, Pinaglabanan Shrine in San Juan, Cebu City and Davao City.

The lagoon area will be transformed into a typical Philippine village where the country’s best products and attractions can be seen. The One town, One Product (OTOP) program of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will be the high point of this village.
Kabayanihan module highlights the birthday of the national hero Dr. Jose Rizal on June 19 and the Founding of the City of manila on June 24 up to June 30. It includes as well the heroism and patriotism of all Filipinos from the early revolts through the revolution against the American colonizers and up to World War II.
To support this module, the Philippine Historical Association will hold a Colloquium on the Proclamation of the Philippine Independence at the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite.
More North Americans Visiting

“Based on recent information from the Philippine Department of Tourism’s (PDOT) overseas offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, several golf, retiree, business and medical groups have confirmed their bookings for the yuletide season and onwards to the first quarter of 2007. These travelers have chosen the Philippines as their tropical escape from the harsh winter in Canada and the United States or to be with their relatives and friends even after Christmas,” JunJun Jorda-Apo, head of the PDOT’s Team North America, revealed.
“December is a traditionally busy time for the arrival of North American travelers to the country, but with the number of tour groups arriving for the first quarter of 2007 is an indication that the Philippines has remained a preferred holiday destination among Americans and Canadians.
