On Saturday, 22 September 2012, TravelNewsAsia.com had the
opportunity to sit down with Benito C Bengzon JR., Assistant
Secretary International Tourism Promotions, Department of Tourism,
Philippines.
In what is our second interview with this highly
respected figure in the tourism industry, we ask about the status
of tourism to the Philippines, how important the Japanese market
is in terms of numbers and whether targets for this year are being
met and how they compare to last year.
We also ask which areas of the beautiful
Philippines the DOT is currently promoting, and how, what its
overall visitor arrival targets are for this year and also for
2013, and much, much more.
The interview took place at the JATA Tourism
Forum and Travel Showcase 2012 in Tokyo, Japan, where the
Philippines had a very impressive stand (as can be seen in the
video below) complete numerous fun components to promote its new
tagline - It's more fun in the Philippines!
