We kissed goodbye to 2015 and we welcomed with hope of another bright year the 2016. As the “Visit the Philippines Year” (VPY) 2015 campaign commenced, the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) thought that instead of creating a new campaign, they opted for some sort of a sequel entitled Visit the Philippines Again (VPA) 2016. This campaign aims to attract more tourists to come back and enjoy the Philippines for this year.
DOT and TPB released early this month this video below that will give you a glimpse of the beauty of the Philippine island. Featured in this video is Apl.de.Ap, a popular singer, entertainer and a member of the “The Black Eyed Peas”. He was asked by TBP to write the new campaign jingle and appear in this video to promote the beauty of Philippines.
“When I was asked to be part of this campaign, I didn’t see it as work. I went to Palawan; it was like paradise. More second-generation Filipinos living abroad should visit the Philippines. Actually, tourists from all over should come to the Philippines; we have so much to offer” he said.
The video was aired during the dinner show of Apl.de.Ap and is now circulating online.
VPA2016 urges more foreign travellers to come and visit the Philippines for more adventures, fun, and make new memories to treasure in 2016. They will be given a chance to experience the spectacular tourist destinations in the Land of the Orient Pearl and enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the Filipino people. Each tourist destination also offers their unique cuisine, special delicacies, fruits and drinks.
Here are the top-notch events in the country that envisions to make the stay of the tourists worthwhile and productive:
- Asian Tourism Forum 2016
- Routes Asia 2016
- Madrid Fusion Manila 2016
- 2016 Ironman 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship
- MTV Music Evolution 2016
The DOT and TPB are confident that more travellers will be delighted to visit the Philippines again this year. They are so aggressive and competitive in promoting the Philippines in the tourism market. As seen in the video, our country has a lot to offer and indeed it’s more fun in the Philippines!
