MANILA, Philippines- Sinabi ng Department of Tourism’ (DoT) na ang bagong kampanya nito na susunod sa  “It’s More Fun in the Philippines,”  ay nakatuon sa assets ng bansa na hindi pa nama-maximize gaya ng kultura at mamamayan nito.

Sinabi ni Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco, ang bagong kampanya ay kasalukuyan nang tinatrabaho kasama ang ahensiya na nagsasagawa ng market study ukol sa umiiral na kampanya  kasama ang  global trends  sa travel at tourism kasunod ng COVID-19 pandemic.

Sinabi ng Kalihim na pino-promote ng pamahalaan ang tourist destinations  sa bansa pamamagitan ng “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” campaign simula pa noong 2012.

“The enhanced tourism slogan will give our country an opportunity to market itself not just as a fun destination, which it will continue to be, but also as a destination for everything else that includes highlighting our culture and our people,” ayon pa rin kay Frasco.

Noong nakaraang linggo, sinabi ni Frasco na ang bagong slogan ay maaaring ipalabas  “in the next few weeks,” kasunod ng pag-apruba ng  National Tourism Development Plan para sa taong  2023 hanggang 2028.

Tinukoy ang data mula sa tourism-related publications, sinabi ni Frasco na ang “trends” matapos ang  COVID-19 lockdowns ay nagpapakita na ang mga byahero at turista ay nais ngayon na magkaroon ng “substantive, immersive, at authentic cultural experiences.”

“We are now in the process of enhancing; there are so many aspects of Philippine tourism that go beyond fun,” ayon sa Kalihim sabay sabing ang industriya ay hindi nakabatay sa kampanya lamang dahil kailangan din ang  product development.

“We recognize that we still have many destinations in the country that still require assistance in terms of accessibility,” dagdag na pahayag nito, ang Pilipinas ngayon ay nasa pang-anim na puwesto sa  ASEAN region pagdating sa imprastraktura.

“The country could capitalize on the expected tourism boom as the DOT targets 4.8 million international tourists this year after hitting 2.65 million in 2022. It also expects a 100% recovery of domestic tourism,” ani Frasco.

“We can see how tourism, notwithstanding the recent reopening due to the pandemic, has proven itself to be a very reliable source of income for our fellow Filipinos and a reliable source of contribution to our economy,” dagdag na wika nito.

Samantala, nakatakda namang maglunsad ang  DOT ng bagong  mobile application kung saan ang mga  users ay magagawang i-match ang kanilang interests sa “suitable destinations” sa Pilipinas base sa umiiral na  database ng ahensiya at  Tourism Promotions Board (TPB).

Inaasahan naman na isasagawa ang  soft launch  sa Hunyo o Hulyo, may available na aplikasyon para sa  domestic at international travelers. Kris Jose
