Yesterday I had the privilege to be part of DOT-PAL PHILINDEX
at Hyatt Hotel, Manila. It was attended by BUYERS from INDIA. PACEOS presented
to this buyers from INDIA.
The event is simple yet meaningful for our tourism stake at
India. Last year, we have over 300,000 visitors from India. However, data shows
that there are around 14 Million tourists from India that roam around the
world. We must therefore capture a sizeable amount to this big market.
Events like yesterday are a positive sign for our tourism
industry. I am happy that PAL now has trips from India to Manila and vice versa.
This augurs well and hopefully contributes positively to the economic progress
of our country.
