Philippines
to hold country fair
in Singapore
A RARE opportunity will be
created for tourism stakeholders to tap the Singapore
market. Dubbed as "The Philippines –Beyond
the Usual" Country Fair, the event will be held
in Singapore on |
|
|
|
|
|
June
12 to 15 at the Tropics Atrium at the Suntec Mall in Singapore.
Organized by the Department of Tourism Singapore Office,
the four-day event will showcase various Philippine destinations,
attractions and tour packages, as well as products to
the Singapore public. Hotels, resorts and convention centers
will find the fair ideal to reach out to a vibrant Singapore
tourist market.
DOT Tourism Attaché in Singapore Gerosel Siquian,
in a recent meeting with ASEAN Tourism Envoy Charles Lim
in Davao City said, "Singapore is the ASEAN region's
best tourist market. Singaporeans take three to four overseas
trips per year, creating a continuous demand for short
but frequent holidays."
"This fair will be an excellent showcase for Philippine
hotels, resorts, dive centers, spas, adventure and leisure
tour operators," added Siquian.
Lim agreed that the event will be a very effective way
to tap the Singapore market and an opportunity to also
create more awareness for investments in the Philippines.
Travel and tourism participants will also have a business
networking session strictly for the trade visitors to
be conducted by the DOT Singapore Office.
"Moreover, air linkages between Singapore and Philippines
are at an all-time high," commented Lim. "There
are now four direct gateways to the Philippines from Singapore
– Clark, Manila, Cebu and Davao – serviced
by no less than six airlines! Now, this is unprecedented
and definitely an ideal situation to increase tourist
arrivals to all parts of the country from Singapore."
He hopes that more local tourism councils, resorts, hotels,
tour operators and tourist facilities will participate
in DOT sponsored events such as the Country Fair. Participation
fee is only USD100.00 per participant.
Interested parties can email starhtel@mozcom.com or call
(032) 231.7673. Deadline for participation is May 30,
2008. |
