Cebu Tourism Expects Continued Growth in 2010Cebu’s tourism industry leaders are optimistic their sector will continue to grow this year, believing the world economy is on a clear path to recovery. He challenged local travel agents to come up with more packages that will attract foreign and local travelers to visit Cebu, encourage them to stay longer, and help to increase and sustain Cebu tourism. He cited packages that relate to the environment, adventure, agriculture and marine biodiversity, following the trends and demands to travelers today. Cecille Sa-a, past president of the Cebu Association of Tour Operators (Cato), said the travel industry is buzzing with business as large groups of Russians and other nationals are adding to the increase in Cebu tourism. Just this month, the cruise ship MS Spirit of Adventure brought more than 300 British and French nationals to the country though its ground handler Blue Horizons Travels and Tours Inc, managed by Sa-a. Tourism Secretary Joseph Ace Durano said cruise ship tours are complementing the country’s chartered flights and are fast becoming a “competitive source” of arrivals from Europe, the United States and Asia. Apart from the country’s eight anchor spots — Boracay, Palawan, Davao, Cebu, Bohol, Vigan, Baguio and Manila – DOT is also promoting other potential destinations like Camiguin, Leyte, Mindoro Occidental, Oriental Negros, Siquijor, and Quezon for their pristine waters and coastlines. This year, the country will join other member-nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) in the signing of an open skies pact that will liberalize air travel among member-countries. This new agreement, part of the ASEAN agenda that covers an economic recovery plan by 2015, will allow regional carriers to make unlimited flights to the group’s 10 capital cities. The DOT said this entices more airlines to land in the Philippines, increasing flights and providing more options for passengers who travel in and out of the country. (PNA)
