At a tourism stakeholders’ summit on Wednesday, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco said over 270 business meetings were held during the three-day networking event, resulting in bookings with a projected value of PHP251 million.

“These figures show the Philippines strong demand in the world’s largest travel and tourism trade fair further demonstrating the bright prospects for our country,” she said.

The delegation highlighted the readiness of Philippine destinations to welcome tourists, particularly Boracay, Cebu, Siargao and Palawan.
