The tourism industry in the
Philippines is expecting a robust growth this coming 2015. Numerous awards left
to right are being given to the Philippines Tourism industry. In addition, Philippine
local associations are winning bids to host their international association events
in the country.
Lonely Planet recently named the Philippines as one of its Top
Countries to Visit in 2015. It says: "7100+ islands have dive-tastic coral reefs, sunbathe-ready white
sands, swaying palm trees and nipa-palm thatched huts. Plus in 2015 the
government is laying on all sorts of special events to raise the profile of the
archipelago. And if there's one thing Filipinos know how to do, it's party - expect street parades, food festivals,
sports tournaments and live music.
Last October 2, 2014,
the Philippines was recognized as the Destination of the Year at the 25th
Annual TTG Travel Awards at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Center in
Thailand.
Another award the
Philippines recently got at the start of the year 2014 is the “Best Tropical
Island Destination” award given by the prestigious Shanghai Morning Post
Tourism Award 2013. The award was given last January 7, 2014 at the posh Jing
An Shangri-La Hotel, Shanghai.
Add to this award is
the World Travel Award’s conferred El Nido Resorts as 2014 Asia’s Responsible
Tourism Award. This award is given to El Nido Resorts as recognition for it as the
best destination for ecotourism, and as the most environment-friendly facility.

Year 2015 is the campaign launched by the Department of Tourism (DOT) to

the private sector, the Philippines are hosting the 17th Asia
Pacific Retailers Convention and Exhibition (APRCE) and 6th
Association of South East Pain Societies Congress to name a few.
