Apart from Cebu’s attractive sites and diverse excursion activities, Durano also acknowledged the country’s competitive tour pricing and the continuous development of the transportation sector as influential drivers of tourism growth and offering great honeymoon vacations in the island-province. Arlene Alipio, head of DOT Team China, shared that charter flights from Shanghai to Cebu and Boracay have helped spur inbound travel growth to Cebu, “Convenience of travel makes tourists more likely to visit the island and take more time to enjoy their stay.” Furthermore, she noted that regular flights to Cebu are also undertaken by Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Cebu Pacific twice a day. Undersecretary for Tourism Planning and Promotions Eduardo Jarque, Jr. expressed enthusiasm and pride over the recent award bagged by the country, calling it “an affirmation of the country’s world-class tourist spots and its unfailing efforts to reach out to new markets”. Last year’s World Trade Fair, held also in Shanghai, had also been highly memorable and optimistic as the country clinched the “Most Popular Destination in Asia” award, the highest recognition given during the event. Shanghai-based Philippine Tourism Attaché, Gerry Panga, said, “The Philippines has increasingly become a choice destination among its Asian neighbors as well as the world, owing to the relentless programs and campaigns that allow travelers to discover, fully appreciate, and enjoy great honeymoon vacations on our islands.” (PNA)
